Life is not always easy and its good to remember that however much we plan ahead, and however much we dream and however careful we are, it can all come to a very sudden end.
We had started Ivy up after her foal and all was going smoothly.
She loved being back at work, even if it was only in the padock with…

Best of Breed irish setter (and reserve gundog group) was
Rusa (Röde Baronens It Aint Me Babe).
Once again I realised why I enter so few shows...it took all day and then finally there we were...in the big ring. And Rusa certainly made the most of it! From behaving perfectly in the breed-ring, she…

Just did these two illustrations for a job and thought that they explain quite clearly why my dogs dont get to sleep in my bed...yes I know, I drew the wrong breed...
Night 1 and Night 14...

No wonder I am totally pissed off!
I was 5 years old on the 26th of july...and did she miss my birthday? She most certainly did!
Did I get a cake, like practically all other dogs on this site?
Judge for yourself.

Remeber Ivy and her foal? Well after her bad start, the (still unnamed) foal went to a foal-show. We did not expect that much...but we were hoping!
First class foal!
With special remarks on her very pretty face and excelent canter!
Wow!

You have seen them all here on this site...those perfectly stacked puppies...and the cute ones. Here is one of mine, sent to me by the puppy-buyers (who by the way are delighted with their puppy). Looks more like a monster to me...hey...what went wrong? :-)
And here is another one…

Seeing that the last litter demolished my
BIG, soft and
EXPENSIVE dogbed, I thought I would go for one of these plastic ones this time. Checking them out in the shop, I honestly thought this would be big enough for a litter of 12 at the age of 8 weeks.
They are 5 weeks old to…

At least they thought so, having had their nails clipped for the
THIRD time in their life...and on top of it all, they were then briefly placed in a washbasket.
No fun at all!
And most probably the last time I can use the washbasket like this, they are growing fast and getting fa…

Life is not always easy and things don’t always run as smoothly as we wish. We were delighted with our filly, well built legs, full of joy, but then, day 3 she was walking on three legs and run a fever. Not all that much, but enough to worry us and bring a vet out.
The result was a tr…

A great looking filly that took some effort to get into the world, and now being watched over by mum Ivy.

60 days...
And there they are...13 born (day 62), 12 still here. I was quite glad to see one go as I feel that 12 is more than enough...6 of each sex and great weights considering.
300g - 400g. But then what would you expect with the new and totallay improved formula for expecting…

I’m not great on remembering birthdays, most of the time not even my own. I’m not even all that worried about celebrating it. So the fact that the ultimate day for mating happened to coincide with my birthday did not worry me all that much.
(Although it did worry my family and friends…

This photo has hung on the wall in my kitchen for many years. Found at a fleamarket and taken in Sweden. He obviously loved his dogs enough to have a special photo taken with them. I find it interesting that the leads used are so very thin, rather like show-leads. Enjoy two setters from the past...he is now back in his frame and once again looking down at me on a daily basis. :-)
