English Setters

Comment by Michelle Walsh on December 19, 2010 at 7:10am

Hi there !

I've just joined the group and look forward to 'meeting' other Setter owners. I have two English Setters, Legolas (8) a black and white beastie that likes to act tough but is actually afraid of his own shadow and Theoden  (6) a lemon belton and absolute diva that loves the hair drier & knows he's a show dog !

~bye for now.

I've just joined the group..I've owned English Setters for over 25 years now, but am sadly down to just the one these days.  Henry aka Bournehouse Midnight Quest of Tawnymeade is 19 months old and an absolute joy.

 

I look forward to chatting with you all.

In the last couple of months we have had to say goodbye to Dut Ch Couldoran Temecula, Blue to kidney failure just before his 10th birthday and hello to Aldersett Fields of Gold, my first non pure english lines. Gibbs is half english and half US/Australian lines, have had to go down this path to keep showing over here. Still got Gil and Caine, both Couldoran boys or oversized lap dogs!! Hello Claire and Sheree, are you both in the UK?

Hi Lesley,

Yes Claire and I are in the UK, I'm in Buckinghamshire and Claire is in Essex, we know each other really well, we met through a dog forum and she very kindly took one of my oldies when illness necessitated me rehoming my beloved dogs.  Remy has since gone to the bridge but Claire and I have remained good friends.

I also know Angela who bred your boys...I haven't seen her for years as I had to give up showing until recently, but I have always admired her setters, I bet your boys are stunning.  Sorry to hear about Temecula, I lost my blue boy Leon, (Valsett breeding) just 6 weeks before his 10th birthday...far too young to go to the bridge :(

 

Henry thinks he is chihuahua I'm sure, the moment myself or hubby sit down he is on our laps and soon to be heard snoring away lol.

We lost Ruby our 11 year old Irish Setter in Oct 2010 (in pic) and Rosie in Jan 2009 (in pic) Our 151/2 year old Irish Setter who we adopted from Oldies Club when she was 101/2 has been diagnosed with epulis so she's enjoying life with lots of her fave things (food, food and more food).

We adopted a 9 month old English Setter called Grace in Feb 2010, you could see every bone in her body but she's 20 month old now and a juvenile delinquent. I've had setters for 25 years and never had one with so many doggie asbo's, haha.

Oh, and not forgetting our little Lindy, she's not a Setter but a lovely Sheltie who I took on when her elderly owner passed away. I used to walk her, vet, groomers etc for the lady and she asked me would I look after her if anything happened as her family hated dogs. Never regretted it for a minute, she's a babe. xx

Hi Willow

 

No - Not crazy at all !

We have 2 Irish and 1 English ( Caline) who seems to get into most of our latest baby's photos !   Take a look ...

Actually Caline was a fabulous mother-figure whilst Zoe was a baby ... she obviously  has a strong maternal instinct and used to put up with the continual biting of her ears, throat & tail which our other Irish just couldn't tolerate !

All the best

George & Lynne
