Catherine Carter's Comments

Oh my goodness Catherine I didn't recognise him, hope that his coat is still looking good. ;0))
He looks gorgeous so happy just love him......

It is so funny showing a old and fresch veteran. My Viktor won last year BOB Veteran in Stockholm at Nordic Winner Show. Trudy Walsh was the judge, and so nice seeing how much he enjoys it. But than one show I could see that he lost this joy so then I stoped showing so now he is enjoying life at our place, but still comes for the long walks in the woods.
Greetings Kristina

Hi Catherine
Thanks for your comment on my Clancy. He is a lovely boy and I am very pleased with his structure too!
I just had a look at your pics. They are great. You have two lovely old boys. I have a boy who will turn 11 on 15 April and my old girl is 10. I like your young ones, particularly your boy's head.
cheers
Cheryl

Happy Easter!

Bonsoir Catherine,
Merci de m'avoir fait un petit signe ! vos setters sont vraiment très actifs ! Vous les élevez depuis 27 ans, une expérience incomparable.
Toutes vos photos sont très représentatives de la race. Félicitations.

Bonsoir Catherine,
Je vous ai répondu sur votre page comme vous me l'aviez recommandé, mais j'avais omis de vous demander si vous participez à des expositions en France ?
Vos chiens seraient-ils aussi chasseurs ?
Merci.

re-bonsoir,
En effet, la Bourgogne est une région magnifique et très riche au niveau culturel. Personnellement, je suis dans le sud de la Bourgogne, à Cluny, une cité médiévale, réputée pour son abbaye. Si vous achetez peut-être votre maison dans cette région très radieuse, vous aurez beaucoup de plaisirs et de bonheur.
Mon chiot vient effectivement de Mel Hillocks "Jonola", de Jonola Liberty X et Thendara Kramer. Je suis totalement ravi de mon petit qui est pour moi vraiment superbe.

Hi there Catherine
I am so glad that you have had yours tested, but still keep a close ''Eye'' on them for their behaviour...(excuse the pun) I have learnt not to take anything for granted, but thanks from the other Irish for doing this, it is a worry until you get the ''all clear'' That is what Saffy has just had, she isn't affected by this problem, whatever it is... I am so relieved about that. It was lucky that you went with your girl because would you have know about the growth??? can it be seen with the naked eye?? Oh I am so pleased that you didn't let that one go, does it have a name??? I hope that your girl is ''with children'' who did you put her too??? I am still waiting for Saffy to come into season, she is being a watched kettle, at the moment, she just won't come into season, got her legs crossed....lets hope that she doesn't stay that way!!! ;o)) Speak soon Dee and the girls and again THANKS from the breed in general, we need more people like you. To step up and be counted, thanks Dee

Merci beaucoup pour Girly ! ! !

hello, so that's why you don't reply? :-)
gonna write more later on, busy reading articles from the US memo now. very interesting.

Aah oui oui oui !
J'ai vraiment hâte, encore 4 semaines ! ! !
Et vous ????

Thanks I got it OK am off to bed now will look again A.M. Speak soon Dee and the girls

hi Catherine,
i see you have mated your bitch, best of luck I hope it wasn't too much of a headache finding the right dog in the present climate, i am hoping to mate my bitch backend of the year and have started looking now but struggling to find exactly the lines I want and have got pedigrees coming out of my ears , we must be mad.

Hello Catherine...
No puppies until the 11th of may (I hope) but she is HUGE and I am NOT looking forward to a record litter...
Instead I keep trying to convince myself that there will big puppies...but no more than 10. Or at a stretch 12.
She is finding it hard to eat anything and is very off most things.
Only thing she can get down without any problem is catshit and seaweed...not the ideal diet.
Although I could put it out on a blog or discussions as an optional diet for VERY pregnant bitches!:-)
Good luck with your lot!

Tout va bien, merci! Chez vous aussi? Oui Charlotte et Yvonne seront présentes. Pour moi cela n'est pas possible car je ne peux pas prendre congé en dehors des vacances scolaires...

I normally just feel if the bitches are pregnant and leave it at that. Its nothing I can do anything about anyhow, so it may as well come as a surprise...one way or the other. She had 10 last time but is far bigger now and reminds me of of when I had those 17, 18-litters...I hope I am mistaken. Especially as I can hardly get her to eat...other than her own choice of menu.
And to me that is not the best one...:-)
But perhaps I should trust her instinct?

thanks alot catherine

eh oui!!! I hope I'm not going to be too busy but hopefully the two boys will get on well eventually. I can't get our youngster into Britain yet because of the rabies and import regulations so Busby will still have to wait for a while to get his new friend....But I'm very excited about it :-)
How are your boys and girl? I've seen you're waiting for puppies! That's definitely exciting too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a nice and healthy litter!
