the history of trisetters
TriSetters is owned by Karen Malinowski and located in Lake Bluff, Illinois. TriSetters specializes in breeding “field” English Setters and is a subsidiary of First Harmony Farms located in Tiskilwa, Illinois.
TriSetters believes in breeding for ideal health, performance, temperament, and structure. We raise our dogs to excel in whatever their owners decide to do with them, whether it’s for fun or competition. Our dogs have proven to be exceptional in agility, dock diving, hunting, obedience, rally, and many other activities and sports (both recreational and competitive).
In the summer of 2000, after the passing of Karen’s spaniel/setter mix, Rosie, a Hurricane Katerina rescue, Karen started looking for a new companion and fell in love with the Setter breed. After reaching out to several reputable breeders, she learned about “field” English Setters and decided these smaller setters with their amazing personality and affinity for sports was the breed for her. Under the guidance of Lynette VandeVenter of First Harmony Farms she chose a beautiful tri-colored 8-week-old puppy now named FHF Miss Demeanor aka “Demi” as her very first “field” English Setter and elected to be a co-owner to keep this amazing breeding line alive.
