<p>We use a bath from a builders merchants and an electric shower we put up in a cabin outside with a hose and shower head to the outside...larger then a baby bath and we can get them to lay down in it too in better weather, so good for rinsing.</p>

<p>Charity shop is a good place for a baby bath, silly to pay for a new one to hang outside all weathers.</p>

I've just looked up the Hozelock Porta Shower and found it's on offer with Amazon at the moment, around £20 instead of £65! Thanks for the tip Valerie, I'm off to order one!<br />

We have to wash Rufus down after certain walks due to mud, mud, glorious mud. Most dirt just falls off usually as his coat is like Teflon, but this mud sticks. The Porta shower will be a blessing, although I'm sure he'll hate it!!

Dear Susan thank you for your reply, you were correct on two counts regarding the tissues. I went onto your web site and read your story about your dear Beau, which had the tears rolling.<br></br>
How very very sad this was a truly awful thing to have happened to you, Beau and his family.<br></br>
<br></br>
The story of Cider was a lovely story and a tear jerker I agree.<br></br>

<p>The full title is: 'A Dog Named Cider. A loving portrait of a companion who was proud, domineering, possessive, and every inch an English gentleman'. This story was written by Corey Ford in 1965. I showed Corey's words in italic in my comment above to highlight that these were not my words but I forgot to show his name.</p>
<p>Cider's story was sent to me by the breeder of my English Setter, Hobson many years ago because she knows how much I love this breed. Breeders like Hobson's breeder do not seem to exist anymore unfortunately.</p>

<p>I've seen the hozelock porta shower used by local dog walkers. Very useful for a quick rinse of the paws and undercarriage but maybe not for a full throttle wash . I find that Setters require quite a few rinse "cycles". </p>
<p>The horse shampoo lasts ages and is easier to work if it's diluted in bowl first. It only costs £6 or so on Ebay for 500ml. I like a bargain.</p>
<p>Susan - lovely story indeed. My boys sit on my couch, too - I'm not <em>that</em> cruel. I'm sure they did not enjoy…</p>

<p>Susan - lovely story indeed. My boys sit on my couch, too - I'm not <em>that</em> cruel. I'm sure they did not enjoy the cold water treatment much. Then again they don't think twice jumping into the icy sea or dew pond - even in the middle of winter. Maybe I should say that they don't enjoy the CLEAN water treatment much.... </p> I looked up hozelock porta sh…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2014-02-18:865021:Comment:11325372014-02-18T08:52:39.796ZAngela Clarkehttps://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/AngelaClarke
<p>I looked up hozelock porta shower that Valerie said about looks like a good idea so ordered 2 one for soap one for rinsing. At the moment I use a baby bath for feet and undercarriage when we get back from a muddy walk, I too use warm water and if I prepare it before going out it is cold before we return, so hoping this will keep the water warm longer. I will let you know.</p>
