I can see that you have done your home work already, very well organised, very well done!!! and what is your prefered line? male or female? just one or two? If you keep watching all the pictures on ES, especially all the puppies, you may want to go for option 2 or 3 to speed up the process  :-)

Graham you are certainly less novice than me!!!!  I really like your approach, personaly I couldn't wait but it is not to say I am right, far from it, just being emotional as usual. Are you aiming at a dog from Myra?

Hi Graham

Welcome to this great site.  I live in Queensland too, up just north of Mackay.  Would love to know what lines you had your Irish from previously.  I have owned Irish for about 23 years now.

chat soon, Cheryl

Hi Graham

I knew of the Listowel Kennels, but didn't see any as I didn't travel much back in those days!

My boy, Clancy has Listowel breeding back in his pedigree behind the Rednasyl lines (so back about 6 generations).  Clancy's dad,  Amhurst Shadows of Eire lives in Brisbane with his owner, Carmel Stringfellow.  Carmel has the Shadowvale kennel and Clancy's Mum is a local girl here and has the Listowel lines behind her.  If you scroll far enough through my pics, you will find Clancy's 5 gen pedigree (I can't attach files to comments). 

My girl, Bridget has come from England from the Millcroft Kennel and her lineage goes back to the Wendover lines too.  My Clancy also has a Millcroft dog back in his pedigree behind his Amhurst lineage.

I have their 3 gen pedigrees on my website:  www.irishsetters-whitsunday.com if you wnat to have a look.

Yes, we are definitely sick of the rain!  Our driveway has springs popping up, so its an interesting exercise!!!

It is raining again now and they don't think it is going to let up any time soon!!!!

chat soon

Hi Graham

That's good news.  I'm glad you are sticking with the UK lines.  I was hoping my putting 2+2 together meant you were getting a pup from Carmel.  She had told me her plan for the end of the year and we were chatting on e-mail over the weekend. 

So, if you get a pup from Carmel (Annabelle & Mac), then we will own relatives as my Clancy is a son of Brodie and you will have a grand-daughter!!

I noticed another comment on your page re Myra.  Myra is the breeder of Carmel's Brodie ("Amhurst" kennel in WA).  She is also on ES, if you want to check out her page.

We have actually had some blue sky today!!!!  YEAH!!!! 

Cheers and chat soon

Hello Graham,

looks like you are having fun on the site. Showing this weekend. Miss Annabelle on 65 points. Should have her wrapped up by the time she comes back into season.

Cheers,

CXX

Hi Graham,

I had a good win at Durack. Mac got the dog challenge and then Annabelle got BOB. We are going to Pine Rivers tomorrow so hoping we pick up some more points. Mac is on 42.

I see you have been talking to Nardi. The bitch Regae that she is talking about was the mother of my first dog from Myra, Amy. I sadly had to put her to sleep just before

Christmas. Sophy is her daughter so Mac is her grandson. Funny how they all tie in isn't it?

Will keep in touch,

C

Hi Graham,

Annabelle and Mac were the only entries. I had a friend help me, but the judge asked us to swap dogs, I had Mac, and then gave BOB to Annabelle. 71 points.

Thank you Graham for your nice messages !

I guess you should come to Europe to find the type of Irish setter you like.

Kind regards.

Hi Graham,

she is a distant relation, I would have to dig out Brodie's pedigree but I don't think it goes back far enough. Cheryl Gorey would know...she is a bit of a genius when it comes to pedigrees.

Hi Graham,

yes Cheryl is great isn't she. Hoping that she will come down next year to a good judge at the Caboolture.

Hopefully, we will have Annabelle babies by then.

Have a great Easter.

Cheers,

Carmel

Our Molly is related to Annabelle. i tried to send you an email but I need to be friends first. Take care Eunice

Hi Graham

Hope you do get a pup. Molly and Annabelle are sisters. Molly is a delight we do not show her just enjoy her as our IS in our family. Sometimes I think of having two but not where we live now. We would need more room and it is costly having more than one.

yes I keep in touch with Carmel. Molly is just a darling. I have owned setters before (2 from the same breeder) and they were great but Molly is so much better. I am not working at the moment so I have more time with Molly.When I first got her she used to go to doggie day care while I was at work. I will be getting back into things again within the next few months but I will still be able to be with Molly.

My husband and I have been to Europe but not Ireland. Saw many IS around met a really nice one in Rome.  Last time one in Germany. I always get excited when we IS while away because we miss Molly so much. Let us know if you get a pup our Molly will be Aunt Molly. Talk soon Eunice

Thanks, Graham. Sounds as if you have spent a lot of years with Setters!  Oddly enough,  here in the Boston area, with its huge Irish-American population you'd think there would be lots of them. But there aren't!  Seems as if the favorite breed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are Golden Retrievers and Labs. Anyway, we look forward to availing oursevles of this wonderful site!

Hi Graham,

all well on the Annabelle and Mac front. They just got locked up though because they pulled all the towels and sheets off the shelves in the rumpus room and had strewn them all over the yard. And then lay on them looking very surprised when I got cross!!!

Another great site that you and Gay might like is The irish Red Setter Pedigree Collection. It lists almost every dog in the UK, past and present.

Cheers,

Carmel
