Really sweet, thanks for sharing with all of us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone on this wonderful list from me and my gang!

Again, thanks for your nice compliments on my girls. Annie had just turned 2 years of age a month before the Borzoi specialty show where Traveler finished her championship in style. Traveler is a completely different type of Borzoi from Annie, both…
Thanks Ereni, all 4 of my Borzoi move out like a Setter or sporting dog should which makes them stand out in the crowd. The 3 ladies in the background on this photo are all long time Borzoi breeders, the one on the left is also a breed judge. Their…
nice moving
Congratulations Annie.You are beautiful!
I lost my Irish girl Annie 2 1/2 years ago and she had always slept on the bed with me on her pillow at the head of the bed. Traveler (the red and white Borzoi slept on the same side of the bed and would rest her chin somewhere on Annie's body. Anni…
My Irish sleeps on the floor (her choice) but my red and white Borzoi girl Traveler sleeps on the bed. It's more like she shares her bed with me! The other 3 Borzoi residing here sleep in super large wire crates as there's no more room on the bed. W…

- Semi-retired, I still show my own dogs. Currently only showing my 2 Borzoi girls, Traveler who is 3 1/2 years old and a red and white and Dori, a youngster who is an Irish Marked Red Sable. Dori smiles at me all the time, very cute. Photos of both girls are on my photos page along with some old photos of Irish I have bred or owned.

Well after many different vet opinions and none of them knowing exactly what Luke has (all his tests came back negative) , they have started treating him for Valley Fever. He has been on the medicine for a while now and is much much better. I happy that he feels so much better and say my prayers that him and all my animals stay healthy. Thank you

- Hi Ann, well, I'm still showing my Borzoi. My red and white girl Traveler is currently in N. CA with her breeder being shown at some outdoor shows. I've been showing the puppy girl Dori here in N. TX but she's going to stay home for a few months to mature. I brought an 18 mo old male Borzoi and a nearly 2 year old female Borzoi back from CA with me the end of Feb. this year. I'm going to start showing them at the local KC show over Mother's Day weekend. My lone Irish, Garnett, had a rough winter with her rheumatoid arthritis. She had to wear a blanket coat even indoors to keep her back nice and warm. I think we have her thyroid leveled out finally, it's only taken us 3 years! She thinks the Borzoi are lots of fun unless they gang up on her! Other than that, just hanging in there, taking care of the furkids and working part time. My last rescue foster was a male Irish who was a digger. It was nice getting him placed within a week of coming to stay with me too. Had to put him on a tie out chain to keep him in the yard, he'd dig out and then dig back under my next door neighbor's fence! Silly dog. Hope you're doing well too.

- I've known Wendy for many years. What is Scout's pedigree? Most of her dogs are dual pointed, both AKC field trial and hunt tests.

- Hi,
I got Scout from Wendy Czarnecki, Bright Star. He is a wonderful guy. I was planing on doing agility with him, but he has Lupus and is now a pet

Even more surprising then, if this was an outcross breeding. As you say she will be a wonderful pet & obedience dog and nothing wrong with her at all. So I've learnt something new again:-))
best regards

- Hi Barbara! No offence meant! You really had me guessing there... I've never heard or seen this kind of light pigment (nose & eye?) in Irish Setters. Is this possibly a dilution factor in the colour gene similiar to yellow labs that a genetically brown - meaning they can not form black pigment?

- Thanks, I love her type which is why I purchased her daughter, Maddie. I usually like a little shorter length of hock but she has the length of stifle to carry a longer hock so that's okay too. It's the brick on brick headpiece, laid back shoulder and smooth topline along with the nice front angles that grabs my eye and heart. Sweet temperaments too, can't ask for better.

She looks perfect for me !
I like american bitchs, they are so feminine.
Kind regards, Charlotte

- Thanks Barbara,
I have photos of Milson O'Boy in 'this is the irish setter'
I also have 'The Official Book of the Irish Setter' - but no Slaysetts there. But I did find two pictures of Sully on the net. However, not being accustomed to the american type, there is just a bit too much of him allround for my taste. Still, its a shame I can't see him moving.
