Myra Thomas-Rhodes's Comments

Hi,
Thanks for your comment about Girly.
Charlotte.

Hi there, Well if you want to come over!!!! Too late for I.S.B.C. but there are a lot more, just a short hop from Europe......But thanks for the Luck I will need it, I thank you for the 'Spirit' of you being there Its always nice to have people rooting for you All the best Dee and the girls

Hi there Myra. Haven't long got back from the show at the weekend, we got a 3rd in Post Grad with my youngster (qualifying her for Crufts next year) was pleased about that, it takes the pressure off for the rest of the year. I also got a 3rd in Open Bitch with my older girl, Obviously we would have liked two 1sts but hey 3rds are quite good at a breed show, We are becoming 'professional' bridesmaids!
speak soon Dee and the girls, hope you and yours are all O.K.

Hi there Myra. we have been having somewhat of a heat wave here at the moment, 14 degrees there hasn't been any snow hear, but saying that it is due for the weekend in some parts, where I used to live we used to have drifts of up to 6 feet, the dogs loved it. I loved it we got completely snowed in. I don't suppose you have seen much show in your part of the world????No shows this weekend, but next week we have our Scottish Champ Show and then it all starts in earnest. Speak soon Dee and the girls

Hi there Myra, just got the I.S.B.C. yearbook, love your add. It seems that you have won the add competition. It is nice to see the overseas members advertising, unfortunately I was moving when I was supposed to put the add in so never got around to it. Again nice add all the best Dee and the girls

I have just checked and yes I was correct, a free colour page add next year. Congratulations!!!! I am sitting watching the snow fall in great big lumps It looks beautiful but it is rather cold I bet you don't miss that?? I will take the girls out later and maybe they will come back 'red and white setters' I may not like it but they do. I don't think that the yearbook has gone out yet it is only when you collect it at the show that you get it early, another good reason for coming to the show.....All the best Dee and the girls

Well I have never had anything like that, your picture is wonderful, the two of them on point. We do point but probably in two different directions and the game is most likely in between!!! or they have just tripped over the present. I dare say that you had a real problem with your carrying your bags when you went back home last time you came, they would have had a field day if they searched your baggage, this strange person taking all these doggy books back!!!!! it is the easiest way of doing things, the post isn't really that good, hope your book gets to you soon, Its Jas's birthday today she is 7 time really flies doesn't it, all too soon.

thank myra,
nicola.

some new photos added on the big hunter danka (and big hunter laura), check them out :-)

Hi there It is a beautiful picture it is always difficult to get someone to take a good picture taken of your dog, Monika took an absolutely gorgeous picture of my Jasmin and I came across it on her site but it is now off I have it on my faviorets but don't know how to transfer it to anything else oh well perhaps she will be at more shows and take another candid picture of them both........Dee

Thank you for those kind words and yes I have had a go a t photo-shop myself on one of my pictures (not on the site) and yes when you have done it they tend to jump at you!!!!!!!!! I will have to take some more, because some of those pictures are of my old girl who died nearly 3years ago with a rare blood disorder at the age of 41/2 (Tam) I just love looking at her pictures when she was fit and healthy. Dee

Hi Myre,

Have a nice time.

Valery

Hi will reply to this properly later am at my daughters my internet is down Dee

Thank you Myra for your comments! As everyone can see I´m pretty excited about my new camera and Iearning its properties and possibilities. And what is a better way of training than photoshooting your own dogs? ;-)

Canon EOS 400 D, lens 70-300mm, pretty basic camera

hi myra thanks for the welcome.im from barnsley south yorkshire england.just been having a look at your babies they are beautiful.ive just the 1 red setter and an adopted boxer.we have had setters for about 31 years but our layla our beautiful baby now (SHES 4 ON 3RD OF MAY)is so very very special.about 18 months ago she was diagnosed with gpra ( not the rod cone1
)what a shock still crying 18 months on that our baby wont see anything soon.its upsetting me telling you about it.its affected family more than her, shes adapting fantastic weve just got to accept it.we have always had our dogs as pets but since we purchased layla got very interested in showing aspect but we just go to shows to watch and drool over this wonderful breed of dog.

Thankyou Myra.....well it took a lot of time and money! As I may have mentioned though, once the business is up and running by itself (and it's getting there) then my old setter Oscar really did make a difference:). I have a full time job plus hugx so it's all a bit hectic:). It just bugged me as an owner there was no evolution in something our pets use every day, and as a pet consumer I was keen to prove we could do better for our pets. This is the first time I've ever been on a site or replied to emails:) Normally I never get a chance dashing around.......so it's lovely you took time out to read. Thankyou. I see you know a lot about setters.....when I get a chance I'll upload (once I learn) images of Emmy and Oscar. Oscar was too damaged.hence why he was in the council pound, they were for putting him down. Emmy however poses beautifully...except I wouldn't know where to begin showing! She has taken as much of my heart as Oscar which I didn't think possible! Setters just have a natural "freedom" I adore...they are really characters. All the best Janex

Hi Myra,
Thank you.
Nice to see you.

Hi Myra,
have you already received your ISBC yearbook 2007 copy?? I hope you have :-) as your advert is the main winner of the advert competition and would like to congratulate on it!
I have posted a blog into the main page of Ex. Setters, where you can see mine and the other winners's advert as well.
Hopefully you also will be able to post your ad as most of us are still waiting for it very much.
Hope you are well!
Regards, Marta & Sarah :-)

I am glad you have had a pleasant jurney and got home safety and sound :-)
I suspected you would like the yearbook :-) Indeed, it is getting more and more varied every year thanks for the lovely ads :-)
Do the australian type labradors differ from the english type ones as much as in case of our breed?? What type do you prefer?
