For the first second time a planned outcross-breeding between irish setter and irish red and white setter are taking place in Norway. The candidates for this first generation outcross are irish setter Skogrypas Black Hawk (sire) and irish red and white setter Alvertoppens Ice-T (bitch). UPDATE: 5 puppies born on the 24th of april, 1 bitch and 4 dogs. All puppies are sold.
The background for this mating is to answer the call from the Irish Kennel Club to breeders worldwide to participate in the International Outcross Programme, in order to increase the genetic diversity in the gene pool of the irish red and white setter.

Our opinion about this outcross
We are breeding irish red and white setters for hunting and field trials as our main objective. Ice-T was the first irws in Norway to accomplish 1st UK (youth field trial < 2 yrs). In show she has achieved Excellent five times and CERT three times. In her litter five out of 10 dogs have achieved field trial results in Norway and Sweden. Ice-T have one litter (9 pups) with Craigrua Dahy(X1) in 2015. Two of these pups have achieved 1st UK in field trial, another pup is awarded in retrieving-trials. This is the first time two irws from the same litter achieve 1st UK in field trial in Norway, and the first time an irws is awarded in retrieving trials in Norway.
The irish setter Black Hawk is a strong candidate with very interesting pedigree going back to old norwegian, danish, russian and irish lines. Black Hawk has 2 x 1st UK in field trial, and an 2nd in Open Class. Two other littermates also achieved 1st UK.
He is a hard working dog with great temper. In show he twice has achieved Excellent and CERT.
We are motivated to do an outcross because we see the need for new genetic input if the irws are to achieve success for generations to come as a healthy working dog.
The pups will be registered in the Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK) according to the rules & regulations in the Outcross Programme. The will be marked with (X1) in the registration number. The NKK is a member of FCI, and the pups will be issued an official FCI Pedigree Certificate from the Norwegian Kennel Club (NKK – member of FCI). Here you can see the members of FCI around the world.
