I have to agree with Margaret I dont know of any IRWS in Australia which hunt.When it comes to claims that our dogs hunt just remember all that shines is not gold.I would suggest you should contact the Red Setter Club to meet people who hunt with ...
I think the discussion was going round and round like a dog chasing its tail.I feel what was missing was a lack of respect for other owners dogs from both sides.However I do feel the discussion should have been left on the list for anyone who may ...

Hello, Terry,
I met you in Britain a few years ago...(2005 or 2006, I don't remember)
Can you tell me exactly what photo? Do you mean Plume?
Plume is a dog, FT Champion, in Autumn Trialer in Spring FT, with a RCACT, and Champion in standard. You have seen him in Britain, on grouses.He is now nearly 10 years old, but always running... I can't hunt, here, there are not birds,
I will send you his pedigree. His name is Prime de la Fougère Rouge, breeded by Marcel Coste, who is died, now...
Ludo (Iuchs) told me that I would have to come in Aizier, last year, because he thought that you would like my dogs... But,it was not possible to me..
I'm sorry, I've a bad english, but I try to speak and write it... Ha ha ha!!!
Have a nice evening,

Hello Terry,
Yes, I go shooting with my dogs and also I expose them on Russian field trial. IRWS is young, it only passes the hunting trainings. I wish to prepare it for hunting and to field trial. I will inform you as its successes.
Marry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I often show my Red&White girl in Switzerland,Austria,Hungary,Croatia...next year we will come to Crufts for the first time.
My Red &White has done a Field Trial in Croatia with her breeder this year. Here in Switzerland it's very difficult to work in the field wit the dogs. We haven't the place and possibility to work. So we have to go to France (Alsace). But I'm a student an sadly I haven't the time to go (3 hours per way) at the moment.
Sure you have great fields in Ireland to train your dogs!!
Pleased to find you here;-)))
...and we had Dalriach Grainne, littersister to Garryowen at our place in september. Might possibly see her back for field training in february. Will keep you updated.
Did I tell about D. Goshawk having an A-hip from Norwegian Kennel Klub ?
Welcome to this list, Terry. Good to have another member from the breed's origin.
You will find the world meets here and all aspects of setters are discussed...
