Cheers, from cold, damp, Perth, Western Australia.
Cheers,

We have had the best Winter for about 8 years, with badly needed rain, so hopefully the dams will fill at long last.

You will enjoy this site, I am sure. There are some stunning photos on different people's pages. Very clever Setter people out there. Have a look at Katariina Roiha's page.

Maybe you could contact Dorothy Park, at 02870848995, she would be happy to hear from you if you are ready to have a Red for Xmas :-)
Dorothy is the Rescue Coordinator of the Irish setter breeders club, the 2 years old arrived at her place today. This rescue scheme from the breeders' club is really good, they check the dog, go to the vet, make sure everything is 100% ok before giving them to their new home. Good luck :-)

I've spoken both to her and Maureen at Irish Setter Rescue but that was about another matter. We adopted a 9 month English Setter in Feb 2010 after losing Rosie (ES) in Jan 09. We lost Ruby (IS) in Oct 2010 and Sham (IS) in March 2011. We've always had bitches but they won't rehome same sex dogs and ISR stipulates you must have a large secure garden. Something my dogs have never bothered with as we have 20 acres of heathland at the front gate and lots more round and about. English Setter Rescue was fine with us having bitches and small garden, the girls get their legs run off every day and with living opposite the Heath much prefer to lie on the bench on the drive watching what's going on when we are home. Thanks for Birthday wishes, usual day, housework and dog walking. x

Since adopting her I got involved in rescue and am now foster support (for fosterers obviously) for Oldies Club. She enjoyed 5 years of wonderful Scottish holidays and many weekends away.
