Hi there Rhona,
Do you intend to do Junior handling with the new 'baby', and thank you for the cards they are lovely, I can't do anything like that, computers are just a wee bit beyond me.
What is the name of your 'red boy' do you show him??
I have Chloe (she is 15) handle my girls on the move in the ring for me, she does such a good job, do you know Chloe Green???

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family

Hi Rhona, Thanks for the welcome. Rida and I reside in the NorthEast of Pennsylvania...which is in the NorthEast of the United States.
HappyNewYear to you and yours.

Hello Rhona, I live in Italy, my e-mail address is: unitedspots@usa.net and my website: www.unitedspots.com
I am so happy you have now a little IRWS devil. She will keep you so much company and give you so much happinness.
Have a wonderful 2009. Fiorella

Oh well, that doesn't matter My two are pets first and then show dogs after, they sleep on my bed and come most everywhere with me. Perhaps when there is a show near to you your parents can take you to see what it is like.
I hope that you and your family have a wonderful new year speak soon Dee and the girls

Hi Rhona, thank you for the lovely welcome, This is my IRWS and her name is Caragh (which is Irish for Friend) this photo was took about a year ago doing what she does best - SLEEP, I have never known such a lazy dog - but only around the house, outside shes full of beans

As i am typing your photos are running through, what lovely dogs, especially the puppy photos- but puppies are always so cute... :-)

Hi Rhona,
Thank you for your welcome.
Your Red and White looks very nice. Like you, we love these dogs about everything. Unfortunately, they grow much too fast.

Best wishes from Switzerland

Thankyou Rhona. I have to buy a new bit for my computer (its broken!) before I can upload any more recent photos. She has tripled in size since that photo (she is 4 months old, today) and has almost lost all of that puppy-coat colour. Her new coat is coming in beautifully. She had her first show over the weekend and worked very nicely at the end of the lead (unlike training at home), but she was the only Irish entered.

Thank you:) yes she is so cute and she is gorgeous.Your dogs are beautiful too. :)

Thankyou for your interest. Unfortunately, Kizzi was the only Setter entered on the day and was in Baby Puppy (non-competitive at her age).She moved really nicely on the end of the lead and allowed me to stack her properly. Both of these were a big improvement on her practise at home. So yes, I was very proud of the way she presented, even though the judge only had eyes for the Pointers on the day, they were lovely Pointers though - can't blame her!! Had her weighed yesterday, and she is now 11kg, she was only 4kg when that photo was taken. I have done a bit of fiddling with the photo but still can't get it to upload showing her whole (gorgeous) head, even when I reduce the size right down.

How are you??? Its been a long time, so happy new year to you and your family 4 legs and 2, We are just starting to think about getting ready for Crufts, a lot of hard work in a short period of time, still it will be worth it I hope.
How are you all coping with the snow and frost, it's lucky that we don't live in the south of England, for once they are having worse weather than us.
Hope to hear from you again Dee and the girls

Hello Rhona!
Thank you for your nice comments.
I am very pleased to meet you.
Your photos are beautiful, as well.
I haven´t got any dog at the moment but I hope I will have one in the near future.
Many greetings to your pets
Reni+AG
PS: I am looking forward to seeing your new pohotos!

Crufts is what we all strive to go to, yes it is a show, but not just any show probably the biggest show in the world. All of us that show our dogs dream of winning at it and then winning it, going best in show. Perhaps you will go one day.
We are all doing well, Saffy is just starting to grow her coat back, she lost a lot in her moult and had some shaved off when she had an operation. Jas needs a lot of work doing to her coat to get her looking nice again.
Will talk soon Dee and the girls

Rona, as we are in different countries, and I don't know the rules there, I suggest that you go to a couple of local shows. If you approach exhibitors that have your breed, after they have finished their showing (it can be a bit hectic for them 'til after, and they may be short with you). I am sure that you will find people who will want to help you. They may even evaluate your dogs for you (to see is they are a show-prospect). Even if your's are unsuitable, there are many who would welcome a helping hand with their dogs......in this way you could watch and learn, pick up lots of valuable information and tips on your breed. And discover if you would like to plan to do this in your future. This is how I started, 30 years ago, going to shows, watching and asking questions - when exhibitors aren't busy. Hope this helps because new, young, keen exhibitors are always needed to help keep our beloved pure-bred dogs available so others will be able to share our love and joy in future years.

Rhona thanks for comment,your dog also very sweety!!!!!!My dogs names Martin&Simba.
Regards Marina.

Well I think that there are many shows in your part of the country its just finding them, I don't know how to go about that, and why wait until you get older, surly the sooner the better???
I don't think that Saffys coat will be any good for Crufts but we will still go all the same, and thank you for the comment on my girls, I am a little bit prejudice about my girls, I think that they are the best thing since sliced bread.......
Dee and the girls

Thanks Rhona for nice comment :) Yes, Faza made me proud... She died in June. She was only 8 years old :(
I see that you have an cute Irish Red and White Setter. They are very rare in our country.

Lucy is quite cute. And Bruce has got a really amazing looking head! Very handsome. I bet you have a lot of fun with them. Do you have a large property? I have about 3 acres. Thanks for the commments on my page.
