Thanks Lois. I plan on spending a lot of time on here, so many beautiful photos to get through !!!

Hi Lois, thanks for the welcome!!! I have been peeking at the forum for months and decided I had to join!!! Yes Headley is still a great place, we were there today, beautiful in this weather and the dogs LOVE all the ponds of course!!

Hi Lois, thanks yes, he's a bit of a handful regarding the cat chasing! this afternoon had a lovely walk and then back to a friend's house, he then saw a cat, jumped on wall and was over into next door's garden, but this time he came back fairly quickly, so was pleased he actually did respond to me (prob too because he knows have bits of smelly cheese in my pocket)! Other than that is VERY lazy!

Sorry its taken a while to get back thanks for the birthday wishes I have now put up some pics of our hounds let me know what you think. Regards Steve

I tried my Rueben in an obedience competition (only a fun one) last month.. he did his sit stay,downstay, heelwork and recall perfectly then we messed up because we didn't know 'finish'. I was comforted by a comment from the judge that it was the best heelwork he had seen all day! :-D

Thank you Lois for your warm welcome, you have some beautiful babies

Happy Birthday Lois hope you have a great day

Hi Lois thank you for the friends invite your dogs are lovely

Happy Birthday Lois!!!! wish you a fantastic celebration with your 2 beautiful reds :-)

Many thanks for the invite Lois and very happy to become your ES friend!  cuddles to your boys

Already have done, It is very addictive!! Thank you, Duchess is somewhat brain dead most of the time but that makes her even more lovable! And Rosie just seems to know when your going to take photos of her! Your boys are absolutely gorgeous! The picture of one of them in the blue box just explains setters all in one lol.

Thanks Lois for your lovely comment on Clancy's blog.  We think he is very special! I think all Irish have that something extra!!  cheers, Cheryl

Thanks Lois very kind of you.

I live in north/west ireland, Co. Sligo.  Myself and partner go to a lot of agircultural shows this time of year just for weekends out etc, also my partner judges some shows around ireland.  Its not too serious, I just love the animals.  I really intend to get another red-setter for shows, so if anyone can help me please let me know.

 

thank you

Thank Lois for that.  I was just wondering if could get one nearer to me in ireland or northern ireland where we could travel on same day to see her.  As we both work, well I am fulltime and work from 8 to 4.30 and I do not like leaving the rest of my flock for a long time without me, although a friend would take care of them, but I do not like travelling outside the country as I can get panic attacks thinking about getting back.

I just love your setters, love one just like them

Hi Lois, I've completed my walk, had a great day and alot of fun. Now for the important part, the money......sorry, cheques can either be made out to me or to ''The Irish Setter Rescue Group'' my address is..........

8 Gladewell Court, Guide Post, Choppington, Northumberland. NE62 5YY.

 

Thankyou so much for helping me.

HI Lois,

   Your dogs are beautiful.  I have four Irish Setters now - I have a wonderful friend

in Oregon who I met when she lost her beloved Eliza and I lost my Molly - it was

a friendship brought about by a very sad time in both of our lives.  We think our

redheads brought us together.  Well, long story short my friend said that if she

ever raised a litter she wanted me to have one - and last weekend I made over

a 1000 mile trip from Washington to Oregon to finally meet my friend and

her husband and her IS s.  I brought not one but two home - I have a little

girl -Shannon and her brother who is nameless right now - looking for good

Irish Setter names for him.  they are a joy to have - trying to keep up with

them - they are so much fun - will post a picture soon of them.  Your

dogs are beautiful.  Glad to be friends with you.  Lynne

Lois,

   You won t believe this but you know how people always say you have a twin

in the world - myhusband just looked at your dogs pictures and your picture

and he said you and I look a lot a like - compliment for me - I ll try and get

a decent picture to post for you to see but I could see the likeness as well

- very eery.  I was born in Canada and married an American and now live

in the United States - I have relatives from England and Scotland.  Just

so funny as I looked at your photo and thought we looked alike and then

my husband said we did look alike!!

HI Lois,

I m originally from West Vancouver, British Columbia - my maiden name is

Parkhurst - definately english and on my mom s side MacKenzie.  It was

so can t find the appropriate word - but when I saw your picture - I have

an older picture of me that if I can get someone to scan it - the facial

smile is so similar - it is so much like me - I could see it as well.  I don t

think I have any skeletons in my closet!!! Mom and Dad have passed

and I lost my only brother last year so I don t have anyone to ask

many questions of - this is supposed to be about the setters which is

why I am usually on here - but your picture took my breath away and

then I called my husband into the room to "show him something on

the computer" and then I said who does this look like = he automatically

said "you" so I knew it wasn t just my imagination!!!
