Riverwood irish setters

Its after lots of thought and searching to find an affixe, that suddenly an obvious idea came to me !

But why not use the name of my village and was thus inspired !

My village is called 'Bois d'Haine' thus Wood for 'Bois' and the river Haine is the name of the river running through the area.

After a long wait, here at last, is my new website.… Continue

Medals of Rea’s winning Irish setters in his gg daughters home now have faces with a lot of stories. She is delighted with them. Many gaps in official recorded history… Continue

Harry’s history continues after death

Just a short note for those loving red and red and white Irish setter history. The legendary Dutch Irish red and white setter Harry from red parents died last week eleven years of age.

Harry’s history continues as maybe next week his pups will be born in Ireland. It is a repeat of the combination that gave Irish field trial champion Pallas Green Harriet. Good news after sad news for Harry’s owner Gerard Mirck and breeder Joop Harms plus Harriets trainer/owner Jim… Continue

Lohmann's Otter-Fokka on Milan's Novotny Memorial

It will not be a very fresh news, as the Memorial took place 6th of September. But better late than never...Briefly speaking, we went with Fokka to Czech Republic and took part in an international autumn field trial. Result: 2nd prize diploma, 125/136 points. Such score would be enough for 1st prize diploma but Fokka didn't obtain maximal score from searching in rushes.

We got following notes (4 is maximal):

-searching, style 4;

-pointing, footing 4;

-wind 4;

-searching… Continue
