<p>Thanks Mel and Jeannie :-)</p>
<p>I hadn't really thought about the website being out of date, that would make a lot of sense, there possibly aren't anywhere near as many pups available as it states.</p>

<p>Being our first litter i guess i was scared of counting my chickens. Then had to wait to be part of the Irish Setter Association before going on Colin's website wasted another couple of weeks.</p>

<p>I have never exported any of my pups. would much prefer to be able to keep in touch with their new owners and be within a commutable distance if I needed to get to pups new home for any reason. There are some exceptions of people that I know of that are abroad and I would seriously consider exporting to them but only because I know of them and how they treat their dogs. That said, I wouldn't send a pup to a country with unrest, just couldn't feel that pup would be as safe.</p>

<p>One thing that does intrigue me with the Irish Setters, which seems totally different to the English Setters, which are my main breed, do you not have a puppy list before mating? There seem to be an awful lot of puppies looking for homes at the moment, I wouldn't breed a litter without knowing that I had homes lined up for them. I know that some people drop off the list for various reasons, but to be left with most of the litter would make me wonder whether I had done the right thing by breeding a litter - just an observation, not a criticism by any means.</p> Don't worry we won't be sendi…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2012-04-06:865021:Comment:9186682012-04-06T08:10:01.058ZJeannie Smithhttp://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/JeannieSmith

<p>I have read through all the comments and would like to add an experience my friend had. Some years ago she received an enquiry for a puppy bitch from a man in Malta. This gentleman had previously bought his Irish from the UK and sounded a genuine, caring Irish Setter owner. He told my friend that his dogs lived in the lap of luxury in air conditioned kennels.

<p>I have read through all the comments and would like to add an experience my friend had. Some years ago she received an enquiry for a puppy bitch from a man in Malta. This gentleman had previously bought his Irish from the UK and sounded a genuine, caring Irish Setter owner. He told my friend that his dogs lived in the lap of luxury in air conditioned kennels. My friend made further enquiries and decided that she would see for herself. The air conditioned kennels turned out to be a large wooden shed with a fan and the whole place was (to put it mildly) not the way any of us would keep our dogs. She was horrified but glad that she had taken the trouble to check for herself. She ended up keeping the puppy.</p>
<p>I would absolutely agree with all the advice already posted on this discussion. I would have no problem sending any of my precious pups abroad but only to someone I knew or someone who came fully recommended by a friend. </p>
<p>There are many very good carriers who various breeders have used successfully. It is not the carrier you should be worrying about.</p>
<p>I agree with Angela about following your gut and if you have the slightest doubt then walk away.

<p>It'd be lovely if we could all afford to flit to the other side of the world to look at a litter, then pay the rediculous amount of money it costs to transport a dog. Depending on the country you also add quarantine costs, vet costs, housing/feeding costs...</p>

<p>Yes, get to know them, always... but don't write them off as soon as you realise they are from another country, making the assumption that the pup is better off in a home in the UK. Believe it or not there are benefits to many people by exporting and importing new bloodlines.</p>
