Dee and the girls

Hello Sandra, congratulations! now the work really starts!! Rosie

Hi there how is it going?? everyone O.K.?? nice cut of sex's more girls than boys is 10 the final amount? I would imagine that you are all worn out. Congratulations with the new family Dee and the girls

Oh dear I am so sorry that you lost the wee girl, but nature is a strange thing it tends to do the rite thing, but I do feel for the loss and your wee girl.
I hope it will be plain sailing from now on!!!!!!!!!!
All the best Dee and the girls

I had Akita's and when I bread her she would let one of my mongrels in with her and Kita and Brandy brought them up together Brandy never produced milk though, there was on of that litter that would keep climbing out of the box, I think that she would have died if we didn't have Brandy around she would just hall her back into the box. Dee and the girls

Oh well nice new vetbed is always a good move, even in pink, I don't think that I have ever seen it in pink hope things get more settled for you all. Dee and the girls

Hi I'm glad the pups are doing well now, it was sad loosing one of them. My girls are 7 and almost 3. Jas my oldest is Caspians Modesty, and Saffy is Kirkavagh Darara At Mayfred, she is the clown of the family.
I will be coming to the N.E.E.I.S.C. In I think November or maybe October, one of the few decent judges for us this year.
All the best Dee and the girls

Hi there
yes I have got someone lined up for Saff, but I have got a few months to go yet. Have you got any sold yet??? Just enjoy them at the moment they grow up all too soon. Dee and the girls

It all sounds good. So she will be giving enough milk to feed an army eh...... good luck Dee and the girls

Hi Sandra, I love your pictures too. I have to say I'm still in two minds about whether to get another Gordon or an Irish as a second dog ;-) I just love both, all setters, in fact, and will just have to see what I'll end up with ;-) You must have your hands full with 5 live wires at home!

Congratulations on your beautiful litter! I hope everything will go well with them. I'm sorry about the one little pup but hopefully the others will all grow into strong boys and girls. Yes, I think the surroundings and walking opportunities are so important with our types of dogs. They just wouldn't be happy with just a walk around the block...

Hi there I won't be going to Bath it is just too far away and the judge isn't too good for me, I will go anywhere the good judges are unfortunately there aren't many good judges this year for my two girls, there are only about 5or 6 shows to go this year. Two of them are in Ireland, I am pleased that the Kids are doing fine, just come back from my puppy ''fix'' he is getting big, they don't stay little for long, he is about 12 weeks now and go's by the name of Ollie. I have had my hair cut and my ears pierced by him, will get another 'fix' soon, Dee and the girls

No nothing doing over the weekend, my daughter and family are coming back from their holidays so will be catching up with them, have fun with the kids. I envy you Dee and the girls

The wind isn't too bad here at the moment, but it is still cold. Took the girls for a lovely walk here yesterday and my young girl has taken lumps out of her pads, they blistered up and have come off, very saw for her, a friend came by with some creme to help with the saws, she is being a big brave soldier about it. But no exercise!!!! She is going to be a nightmare about that. Glad the pups are still thriving well. Dee and the girls

What a dreadful shame to lose a pup at this stage,Sandra. Hope the rest do well. One local advertising source I found very useful is the weekly freebie "buysell" - they have web site at http://www.buysell.co.uk. I sold two pups to local people this way.

She is getting better, Davey came round with some cream to put on the pads, and that seems to have helped she is walking on them at least. She is still restricted from any other exercise though, glad that the puppies and their mum are doing well. all the best Dee and the girls

Hi Sandra
I was impressed by how effective the buysell freebie turned out, so good luck.

Went to Bath and won a JW point with my young IRWS. Had the best of the weather if a bit windy !

I think that the time is US time because it was, I think, Gene who started all this so its his site and we use his 'home' time. The sun is shining here, it has been for the past week BUT it is coldish still here. hope puppies are well. Dee and the girls

Hello Sandra, pleased to hear your litter is doing well, like yourself I'm busy at home at the moment so haven't been out to any shows, the one we all must be at is the ISAE Centenary Celebration Shows on the 18 & 19th July, check the website www.isae.co.uk, it's going to be a great event! perhaps see you there! Rosie

Hi Sandra, yes, we have a few good walking opportunities around here and I'm quite glad for that because with a young setter it's important to get enough space for training. I hope your new additions to the family are doing well and that you're getting enough rest too ;-) Have they opened their eyes yet? It must be quite an experience having little puppies in the house! Hope it'll all go well with all of them.
