- About Me:
- I have 2 Setter Girls, one English & one Irish. They are both aged 6yrs. I am married with 3 children, grown up now. I am Australian and live in Melbourne. I have loved Irish & English Setters for more than 20 years and now have one of each which are both an absolute joy to own. We got them both as baby puppies together. They are best friends and are always looking out for each other. We belong to a local obedience club where the girls have done well. Tess, my Irish, continues to go to school each Sunday.

Kerstin Thaens said… - Hi Lynn, Halloween is slowly getting popular with children in my region. As you certainly know Germans celebrate their "Fasching" in February/March. when my daughters were small and knocked on our neighbours doors they looked flabbergasted (is that right?) and did not know what to do/give. A few days ago the children in our village handed flyers out announcing that they are knocking on the doors on Friday by 5pm! Amusing, isn't it? Kerstin

Jennifer Martin said… - Thanks for your comment on my photo of Jinty, she had had a number of medical problems throughout her life 'canine cushings' being the biggest, I never expected her to reach her 'dotage' and become the wonderful eccentric old lady she was, it was only towards the end that she lost 'the twinkle in her eye' and her zest for life, I miss her dearly we had so many happy times together. Ten months on I got Rio and he is a delightful little chap, I am enjoying his 'puppy hood' and look forward to our future together.

Ari is a a boy with his own little ways.....I am still adapting to his energetic way of doing things!! But love him a lot!!!
Greeting out of Knysna!!!

- Hi Lynn,
I'm sorry I thought Tess was your previous Irish girl, so it was Skye. Now Tess and Megg, and before Skye, three very nice names for a girl I should remember. I guessed Megg was an Orange or Liver Belton, the colour seemed very deep and probably it's for that reason it is going so well with Tess. I think it's quite rare to find Liver Belton, I don't know if you saw some in your club ?
For me, also my first Love was the Irish setter, even now I don't consider Irish as a dog, they are too special, maybe a creature which represents pure beauty. I know and I read that in the Kennel Club, Irish setter is considered as the most beautiful dog in the world.
When I was a young boy at 10 years, I was dreaming to have an Irish setter. Maybe it came aslo from a nice Walt Disney movie called Big Red. I don't know if you heard of it. So, at 10 years I had my Irish setter, a girl named "Lady". Unfortunately she died at 3 years in an very painful turned stomach. It was real drama for me, I was so devasted, so I could not take anymore an Irish setter. After I had an English setter, a very adorable girl who lived very old until I was a young adult.
So I waited until now to get again an Irish setter, which makes 35 years. I went to England to get it. My preference is going to the type of Irish setter bred in England.
For me, also I really like both breeds but my favourite is the Irish, even if the English I love them too. Now, my little "Lucky" boy will be 8 months tomorrow and I can tell you I constantly admire how he can be beautiful. When he sleeps, when he walks as a panther, this red colour so flamboyant in the sun, how could I resist to this real creature of beauty.
What I love so much in your photo album is this harmony between these two breeds. I have to tell you I didn't about English setter since I saw your page. Now, when I see Megg, I miss also my English girl I had when I was young.
I hope you will still add some more photos of your two beautiful girls.

- Hi Lynn,
Thank you for this nice story, and to take you time to explain how it happened. It's sad for Tess, I hope she didn't pass away in bad or painful circumstances.
That's quite funny how they can match so perfectly as a pair. Both of them are very elegant together, it's also for that reason, it's pleasant and I love to see all your photos.
Do you like also Gordon setter ? or not particularly. Maybe Irish first of all and English are the breeds you like ?
I'm sorry to ask you this question, I'm just a little bit curious because in some other similar spaniels breeds, all various coulours belong to the same breed. Only with setters, the type, character etc. make complete three different breeds.
As far as I discover people here on Exclusively setter, or when I selected breeders for my dog, and my experience at the show, people who like Irish, English or Gordon are not the same at all. Most of them love only one breed.
Tahk you Lynn.

- Hello Lynn, it's rare to see such a pefect pair between English and Irish setters. Long time ago I used to have also one English setter girl, a very lovely ticolore dog. Yours is she an Orange Belton or Liver Belton ?
Do they come from the same breeder ? they are the same age, did you take them exactly at the same time ? I guess when they were puppies they were playing together all the time.
Take care.
JL
