My first love is the Irish setter. My second is obedience. I have owned four Irish, and titled three of them In addition I put and advanced obedience title on a breed male for a friend. My other interests include designing dogs and horses in cross stitch.
Finn and I will just plod on, it will be a long while before we can enter any competitions, but may enter a few ribbon parades with him and Henna just for fun.....and that to me is what its about really...;-)))
Rally is very new down this way, and yes you are right, it is less stressful, both to owner and pup.....Finn has no idea what he is doing, so that makes two of us....but we are enjoying the time we spend together.....;-)))....
Hi Ursula,
I design dogs in cross stitch and sell these designs sewn on various items. My most popular items are utility article bags. However, I will sew the dogs, and other designs on anything I can get a needle through. It began as a hobby and has become a business.

Hello Pam, I only just noticed this comment to-day...NO, I dont do cross-stitch, in fact I am just THE worst with a needle and thread :-)
I was just interested if you did this as a hobby or if it was a business. Sort of an interesting job I thought.
Ursula,
I am sorry this I have taken so long to respond. I have designs of many breeds, particularly Border collies, Papillons and Golden Retrievers. I only have a couple of Irish which I have designed, as I often use someone elses designs. My problem is uploading the photos of these designs. What breed(s) are you interested in?

Hello Pam, so do you sell the patterns for the cross-stitch dogs; or the cross-stich articles themselves, or is this just "for fun"?
Hi Pam.....really envy you getting your Irish to hold the dumb-bell....I really have problems with this exercise....LOL...they do everything else but........
