Comment by Anna Kazimierowicz on January 12, 2013 at 3:38am: I definitely prefer more optimistic stories:-)

Comment by Henk ten Klooster on January 12, 2013 at 4:25am: Alas good news=no news, Dianne & Anna! Some exceptions still. Take Swell of princess Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, end 19th century. Fairy tale like news!

Comment by Anna Kazimierowicz on January 13, 2013 at 12:27am: Wonderful news! Maybe you have in your endless archiv a photo of prince Drucki-Lubecki with his red setter:-)

Comment by Henk ten Klooster on January 13, 2013 at 5:32am: Sorry Anna, not the prince Drucki-Lubecki. Tell us more! Look at the white on princess Wilhelmina's Swell, you can see a blaze better here. This is how IRS would look after a crossprogram with IRWS, so back to basics!

Comment by Anna Kazimierowicz on January 13, 2013 at 8:29am: we have here a setter with blaze too, the owner is David Darragh
