Yarramo, established in 1974 by Tony and Marg Norton, is a distinguished breeding kennel located in Bundaberg, Queensland, specializing in Gundogs, particularly Irish Setters and English Cocker Spaniels. With a rich history spanning over four decades, Yarramo has earned a reputation for excellence in breeding, producing numerous Australian Champions, Grand Champions, and Supreme Champions. The Nortons’ commitment to quality is evident in their selective breeding practices, ensuring that each litter is carefully planned to maintain the highest standards of health and temperament.
The kennel is situated on a spacious, fully dog-proof acreage in rural Wide Bay, providing an ideal environment for raising puppies. All puppies are born and reared in the Nortons’ home, where they receive ample socialization and care. Yarramo takes pride in breeding dogs that are CLAD and PRA clear by parentage, as well as hip scored, ensuring the health and longevity of their bloodlines. The kennel complex features a well-equipped grooming area, kitchen, and laundry, along with large, shady runs for the dogs to enjoy.
Yarramo’s dedication to the breed is further exemplified by their notable import, New Zealand Grand Champion and Australian Supreme Champion Lanascol Kiwi Encounter, who is the first and only Irish Setter to achieve both titles. The Nortons invite inquiries from prospective puppy owners and are committed to matching families with the right canine companions. For those interested in quality Gundogs, Yarramo stands as a beacon of excellence in the breeding community.
