I would just like to thank everyone who has been so kind and supportive, over the past few months, re Saffys litter, I am so thrilled with them, there will be a few in the ring next year, (I think one will be in the ring in next month) so they will I hope live up to their expectations. I wouldn't have been able to get through the feeding and cleaning without everyone's support and hummer. The puppies have all turned out for me, absolutely wonderfully, they are such an even litter, and it is wond… Continue

Just like to thank everyone, so far, that have commented on our 'baby pictures' I will be boring everyone with more over the next few weeks, before they go to their 'forever homes.' The official standing pictures will be done next week...I hope that they will oblige. They have moved down stairs to the living room and have suddenly become pooing machines, but are now almost completely weaned, so have become lovely little baby Setters. Thanks again for all those wonderful comments Dee and the gang Continue

I just have to write and say how proud I am of Saffy (Kirkavagh Darara At Mayfred), she went on her first training day (for working dogs) yesterday, I have posted some pictures on my page, she did as they say 'took to it like a duck to water' a wee bit too enthusiastic for the quail in a cage, but she will learn, it was interesting to see her casting the field that just came naturally. I think that everyone there was pleasantly surprised at a 'pure' show dog doing what came naturally. I must say… Continue
