Thanks for welcoming me to ES we don't plan to show Murfee but I am looking forward to training him as we didn't really train Paddy (our previous setter) very well. Unfortunately we lost him to cancer over 7 years ago. I've retired early to get another setter as I don't think Paddy was happy being left alone so long. Will post some photos soon.
The sport of mushing is getting more popular in Ireland in the last year. I think ours are the only Irish Setters who mush at the minute but we are hoping the change that. If you visit www.tailsandtrails.ie you can see more photos of them mushing in the public galleries. Or even join the forum for a natter :D
Thanks for the congrats on Clancy and Mitchell's tracking qual. I put the criteria on the blog, but just in case you haven't gone back to view it. Here it is:
The criteria for the 1st Tracking Qualification:
The dog will follow a trail for approximately 400 metres, and the exhibitor shall nominate the Tracklayer. The Track will have two changes of direction of approximately between 30 to 90 degrees, the first change of direction to be not less than 100 metres after the start.
One article will be placed on the Track, as nominated by the Judge; this article does not have to be indicated to gain a Pass.
The minimum time for the commencement of the track must be 20 minutes and the maximum 40 minutes, from the time the Track is laid.
The Tracklayer or final article must be found at the end of the Track for the dog to obtain a Pass.
The next Tracking Test will be 800m long with a longer wait time from when the track is laid.
just looking through your page... You must be looking forward to getting your new pup later this year. As I have said previously Molly is just a darling. Carmel will let us know when the day arrives and very close to those points also.
Yes, you are right Lyn Muir is the breeder under the Romarne prefix. She does have lovely dogs. The young girl that Rhys Dwyer has in NZ, has the same grandfather as my girl, Bridget.
I have the pedigree for Rhys' girl and will send it to your e-mail. Rhys does have some nice dogs (from the photos). I am planning to go to NZ maybe at the end of the year or early next year, so hope to meet up with a few over that way!
Yes, I agree that Irish do better with a companion. They are such a family member, they enjoy company and are less naughty!!! Yes, it is good to a do a lot of research and with your first pup coming later this year, you have a bit of time.
My son, Mitchell who is in the photo is over 6ft tall (?abt 189cm) and yes the judge was short as well!! My older son, Kelvin is 6ft 5, so both tall.
Thanks for your congrats. We are very excited about how well both Clancy and Bridget have done lately. We don't have any shows till August now, so a nice break for us all.
yes a wait for you but hopefully all will be well.
I regularly speak with Sherry in the states as she has a Molly also. The bully stick is a joke after finding out what they are made from. Many laughs have taken place between us after finding out. All good here Molly at Hanrob back tomorrow. We are just back from Alice where my son and his family are living for awhile. Molly is coming along fine she is such company for me at the moment. take care Graham

Hi Graham
I didn't own Ch O'Toole Mike Lad. He was owned by his breeder Charlie and Dot Bingham in Chatswood Sydney. He was a lovely dog as was his sister O'Toole Scarlet O'Hara who was owned by the great Evlynn Lambert of Tara kennel fame. Setters of today are so different to those of Today due to the imported American lines. Are they better or worse is a topic that you could go on forever with no outcome as we are all sufferers of kennel blindness and love our dogs.
Cheers Rick

Hi Graham
Cheryl Gorey has an imported English bitch which she may breed from,so you may be interested in a pup from her.
were you showing setters in the mid 70.s and 80's? if so we might have crossed paths at some time.
we had Irish and Cavaliers and used to travel a bit to country shows in SE Queensland.
Cheers
Graham.

Hi Graham
Yes, all good here. Another quiet weekend at home.
Great to hear and look forward to updates along the way.
Lauren and I had a lovely time with Myra, John and all the Irish and Labs. Ciara is looking beautiful and is very well. Myra thinks she is in whelp and I am thinking she is too so keep your fingers crossed. Got home to only have all my emails lost when going thru the ones that came while away. My computer man yesterday could only retrieve up to June this year so have lost your email with your phone numbers. I am going to another computer man this week in the hope of him retrieving them. In case he can't help would you kindly send them thru again to me? Regards, Nardi

Hi Graham
Sounds like a lovely day. I heard it is a bit chilly down your way!
On the main page if you scroll down and view the list on the left of the screen, you will find a list of who is celebrating a birthday.
