Thanks for the comment on the Setters meet up blog, and we would have loved to see your beautiful Layla playing on the beach she likes so much with plenty of other setters and of course her beloved lucy too... may be next time?

Hi Lyn - have thought about you all just lately - just wondered if you managed to get to the beach with your dogs this year? Have been to Theddlethorpe a few times and do think of Layla (and Lucy) running free.
Nice to have you as a friend.Today I've decided that it can last a longtime before my dog gets problems.I always live in today and today I enjoy my lovely dog.My dog enjoys live today.Many greetings and goodluck for your bitch.Ingrid
thanks for your comment on our puppies. They are so cute. I was also very sorry to read about Layla's blindness in such an early age. She is very lucky to have you!
All the best to you and your girls!

Thanks for your note. It was a big shock when we realised that Freddie was blind (or near enough) but you just have to get on with life don't you? We lost our Tallulah to cancer when she was only 5 and that was a worse feeling.
Freddie is coping well (so well that it took us a long time to realise how impaired his sight was).
He occasionally misjudges but it's never serious because he's very slow when he's goes toward, for instance, a gate that may be shut, so he taps his nose on it gently.
I'm sure Layla is having a wonderful life- as is Freddie.
It just sometimes makes me sad when he looks deeply into my eyes and I remind myself that he cannot see. Keep in touch

The doggies on the picture are Queenie (13,5y) and Spencer 15 months).
Queenie wasn't tested but had an eye exam. She still sees. Spencer is a carrier (fortunately). He has the same ancestors as Ynez.
Ynez became blind when she was 10 years old. At home she didn't had problems but outside (when you see my husband and me, you see our dogs) we always had to talk to her and pay attention. Otherwise she would have walked against all that came on her way.
It's because of her blindness she lost her 4th title of Clubchampion in Obedience and Behavior at the ISC of Belgium. And that hurts.
She always had a good caracter but the moment she became blind she would have bitten to dogs who came to short in her neighborhood. Once she even bite in the tongue of Queenie while I was given them a cookie.
We had to go to the vet with Queenie where her tongue was sewed and where she had to stay for 2 days.
But when I see the picture of your Layla, I see Ynez.
I am afraid that I have got a touch of ''ah humbug'' I just have too much on my mind these days to even consider Christmas decorations, so if you have time please come and do mine...pretty please...
Saffy and Fin are fine dad is causing no end of troble...he is now on the conspiracy theories (everyone is out to get him, and the home is being badly run) also have a lot of other problems...but hey we will get to the bottom of them in time...
LKA is one that I will not be going to, but will be going (weather permitting) to Boston in January...and we will take it from there...
Fin seems to be at last starting to grow a coat..well hope that it stays there...
Speak soon have a great time at Christmas with Eva... so nice to have kids at this time of year...(although this year may be for mums dads and grandparents.) lol but next year....make sure the tree is tied down...lol
