Hi Diane, Have just seen that you are new here so wanted to say a very warm Welcome to Exclusively Setters.  This is such a lovely, fun group to belong to.  I also notice that you're from Australia.  I am also & from Victoria too.  We live in an area close to Lilydale in Melbourne. 

Your 3 dogs are just gorgeous.  My Irish girl Tess is almost 11 yrs. now & is absolutely the light of my life.  In October 2010, we lost our lovely English girl & Tess, & us were devastated.  We now have a 9 month old English Setter pup who is a very sweet & lovely girl.  Must admit though, a new pup, after having two 'older' dogs is a bit of a shock to the system, but we are getting there (lol).

 

Your photo's are beautiful.  I've loved looking through them.

 

Again, welcome.

I think I sent to myself

hi Dianne

a pleasure to have australian friend on the site. Molly came from QLD on a Virgin Plane to Sydney airport. She was sight unseen but I would not swap her for the world. She is our third IS and I must say the best. We lived on the northern beaches for years and recently moved to Terrigal on the central coast. Sorry to say I don't particularly like it so we will try and move back next year. Molly does not do that much exercise she is such a lazy bones but when she gets going she sure makes up for it. Molly comes from a very large litter of 15 (16) I think one died anyway she is smaller than our previous IS but just a darling. So you have 3 IS? that must be great and keep you busy. Talk later

Hi Dianne.

Love your photos.  I had three setters at once before my 'mid-life crisis', so I've got it out of my system now!  As my Flame has now entered senior citizenship, I have been thinking a bit about another puppy, maybe from working dog stock, but I'm not keen to distract myself too much with ideas about a puppy when Flame is requiring more of me.  I want to fully enjoy the pleasures of an old Irish for as long as I can.  Good to make your acquaintance.  Best wishes, John.

Thankyou Diane, for your very kind comments on my English girl Grace.  She is a real sweetheart.  Has just had her 1st. birthday & is slowly progressing from a silly pup to a beautiful lady.  She brings so much pleasure & happiness to our family & is always making us laugh with her silly antics.  She has such a beautiful nature as of course do all our Setters.  

Thankyou again.

Thank you Diane! Love your pics! And haha, "someone to keep me young" influenced my decision on a) choosing an IS and b) a puppy, to boot! (An American expression) lol

My childhood has been awhile too, Dianne! I'm keeping all of the "gardening" posts from my husband, we'll cross that bridge when we get there! And I chuckle noticing all of the "covered" furniture in the photos ...I'm stocking up.. :) Can't wait

Dear Dianne, thank you for your kind words on my anniversary blog for my English Setter boy, Hammer. I feel extremely lucky Hammer came to me, even though our time together was too short. xxx

Hi Dianne, You won't be disappointed with a Setter with spots. I was lucky I found Misty. I purchased her sight unseen but I knew her breeder and he did not let me down. An English Setter will never disappoint you but you have to be careful with the breeder you choose. I have learned the very hard way not to trust a breeder just because they are registered with a Canine Control Council. xxx

Hi Dianne,

Saw your comment to Kim wondering if your Irish own you instead of the other. Make no mistake, they totally own you. Is there anything at all you do where you don't consider the dogs first? See what I mean.

Hi Dianne,

My mother tells me I was hooked from when I saw Big Red as a kid. There was no doubt that when I got my first dog what it would be. I love to say, with some trepedation to other dog owners that if it is not an IS, it is just a dog. I had a father and son team for many yrs as well. I also had a couple of rescue dogs too, one who died at age 3 to that bone cancer thing. He dug a whole under a tree when he was dying and to this day I have not filled it in. Dogs pass through our lives so quickly and I've found I measure the eras of my own life by which Irish I had at the time. Best to you and all the reds in your life.

Hi Dianne, thanks for your message.  It would be lovely to know you have a relative of my redheads!  I guess it may be my boy, Clancy?  I would love to know more details about your girls' pedigrees?  cheers, Cheryl
