Welcome to Baileys' Page!

I am pleased to be your friend.  Lovely pictures of Bailey too, especially the one of him laid back in the chair.  My Finn does that too! :)

Hi

Love to be friends, we are in Haslingden.  Two setters, Merlin 

Clywidian Ruffus, and Fergal Bardonhill Wizard of Oz. Know the breaders of you boy from walks in Roddlesden woods.

Hi Tina, Bailey realy is a hansom guy, three is good but not sure with a baby as well? I do get tied up somethimes when one sees a friend, another wants a poo and the pup wants to chase a bike !!!!!!!!!!! all in the fun of setter ownership. 12 feet to keep trim in this grass seed season is not so easy, but my girls are cooperative with this task. Anyway enjoy this site, look forward to reading your input and stories. A

Hi - were between Blackburn and Bolton (Darwen)

amazing only a spit away

Pleased to accept your friends request (",)

Hi Tina, I'm also very happy to be your friend on Exclusively Setters! We live in the Mexican highlands, in the middle of a forest up on a hill overlooking a village of copper workers and we have three dogs, nearly 9-year-old English Setter Lucas, 15-months-old Irish Setter Molly and roughly 1-year-old Labrador/Golden Retriever/Sheepdog-mix Fiona. Greetings from Mexico!

P.S. Your Bailey is gorgeous!

Hi! Thank you for your kind comment on my Tiny´s pic and your friends request - pleased to accept. Your Bailey is a lovely Boy. Greetings from Austria Barbara + Tiny

Hi Tina

Thankyou for your friendship request,your Bailey is a very Handsome Boy.I love looking at this site its become my Red setter fix to look at all the gorgeous dogs and read all the stories of what they get up too.

Unfortunatly im not in the position to have another Red just yet,we want to move my husband is job hunting (has been for over 2 years) its so difficult as he wants the next step up in his career and this wont happen where he is at presently.Sadly the positions that interest him are few and far between so i just have to be very patient,my other setter fix is to have Lucy to visit now and again which we love.You may have read my last blog on her holiday last year but i havnt done one this year out of respect to another ES member whose dog also called Lucy has recently died.  

I look forward to seeing more pictures of your handsome boy,oh and just wanted to let you know my boy Karl loved the photo of Bailey where you had put the comment 'hes sexy and he knows it'-he thought that was so funny-he's  another setter lover too.

Hi Bailey thanks for the friend request. Your namesake was my absolute heart dog, the one in a lifetime. My Bailey died in February 2010 aged 13 years and 8 months, I miss him every day....still.

Nowadays I have Rory and Milo to love and keep me fit and busy.

Thanks Tina, no dog shows this weekend so just a nice quiet one enjoying the dogs. Hmmm, the beach maybe :)

Be safe in the sunshine Bailey x

Finn will be getting a brush in the morning ready for his play date with Bails.  There will be lots of excitement in our house tomorrow!

Yep, you have described Dougal very well! lol He's very nosey! And when he lies on his back like the pic of Bailey, my daughter says he looks like an orangatan! (sp?) lol But I just love him!

Hi Tina

I love your tale of Bailey on the Bowling green and i can just imagine the scene too,so funny as my mum is a very keen bowler and woo betide those who interupt a bowling game -this is serious stuff!! lol.

A little tale of my own to share when Lucy came to stay in june,one day it was very hot and we were sat in the front room and i was eating a dish of icecream.The window cleaner knocked on my window and asked if he could have a cold drink,while getting his drink and having a little chat about the lovely weather i completley forgot ...icecream ..Lucy...yep i turned round and madam was in the dish finishing it off for me.......and it was hagen daz too ...lol dont you just love em...   

Thanks Bailey. Have an extra treat on me today.

Hi Tina and Baily.

The boys will be 3 in early October. For brothers, they couldn't be more different and yes, if there is trouble around, they know how to find it. You can check the post on changing their names to see what I mean. Thanks again.

They came from an unusually small litter and were the only males. Rooker was quite a bit smaller and he remains about 5 pounds less in weight although they are the same height. Keba has a wavy, curly coat and a more narrow head where Rooker has a flat and darker red coat with a broader head. The real differences are in temperament where I suspect it is because Rooker is the more dominant. He is very confident and brave and curious and patrols the yard.  He sleeps at the foot of the stairs. Keba is more nervous and timid and stays at my side. He is also much more vocal whether it's barking, whining or arroooing.

Love your profile photo!
