Hi michelle thanks for your warm welcome , I will put some photos on soon!!!

Hi Michelle
Many thanks for the welcome. As soon as I get used to been on the site and have worked out what size pic's I can post I will upload a few. After 30 odd years of living with Irish I seem to have amassed a few. None from the ring or breeding as they are our family and we know they are the best!

Hi Michelle, thank you for the welcome :)

Hi Michelle,thank you but love your photo´s to beatiful

Hi Michelle ,thank you for the compliments

Thanks Michelle. Good to know there are so many people out there I can get friendly advice from. The picture is actually of our first Setter, Poppy. She was incredibly sweet and a real character. She'd have done anything my husband asked but whenever she saw him packing for a business trip, she got a glint in her eye, like a naughty child and I knew I was in for trouble. Sadly Poppy passed away, aged just 8 from a splenic tumour and we were devastated. Bailey is proving to be a real handful in comparison to Poppy but usually he gets that goofy look on his face and we can't be mad at him. Any advice on owning a male Setter is gratefully received.

Thanks for the welcome!

Hi Michelle, Thanks for the welcome. Will get some photos up ASAP. Sue

Oh yes I am am enjoying The site very very much. I loved reading about Ollie being with kids at school when you were teaching. My last 3 Setters have enjoyed visiting seniors in retirement homes. At Christmas we go caroling. This picture has my dear Tucker with us. He could walk but would tire so loved to ride in his ride wagon. Jo Ann

Glad you enjoyed picture of the 3 of us Caroling. Well time for breakfast for all of us. I say all,because we have a guest dog staying with us while family away. Sadly not a Irish setter. I think I am the only Irish Setter person in Southern Marin County as I have never seen one. Tho lots people ta come up to talk to us tell stories of when they had one in their lives. Jo Ann

hi michelle many thanks for writing to me .yes its so very sad about layla and its very upsetting seeing her as she is now.this week has been terrible.we went to clumber park where weve been several times and she knows it well yet even off lead she just stayed behind us.when weve come home shes been really struggling even in our home and garden.weve tried to carry on normal and treat her normal but now i know we cant.to be honest i didnt know what to expect or how a blind dog can cope but its going to be a lot harder than i thought.its heart breaking it really is but well manage(its a learning curve)and we love her dearly and sometimes she does play on emotions(shes forever asking for treats)and she knows ill give in.
i think if shed have been a much older dog id have probably coped but its just so unfair that such a young dog has this horrible disease she cant do the things that normal setters do at her age because shes not got that confidence of a sighted dog.
and lucy the boxer.she was my sons she came to stay while they had their second child 3 years ago and never went home.shes really good with layla and very protective of her. lyn layla and lucy

hi michelle yes the other senses are a lot stronger now shes listening out all the time and shes smells her way around shes also getting very keen if she hears a strange voice she barks like mad and her bark is a lot gruffer than it was,before it has just been a yappy bark.

Thank you so much, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

Hi Michelle,

Only found out about this site yesterday from Kevin and Liz. Still waiting for my son to call to sort out some photos. Will get them to you soon - promise. Best wishes, Jenny.

Hello Michelle,
thank you for visiting my page! If you wish to see our photos, please visit our website www.irskysetr.ic.cz, where there are hundreds of them. The page is in Czech, but I am sure you will find them easily.
Best regards from Katerina and Everdene Irish Setters

Hello Michelle,

Nice meeting you and I like the oldies on your side! It is still amazing how the Irish Setters changed over the years in type I think. The characters are still the same!
