Yesterday the ISAE & Setter & Pointer Club held an Open Stake at Six Mile Bottom in Suffolk, England; the only setter breed not running was Irish Red & Whites, so we had Irish Red, English & Gordon setters running, although the English Pointers were in the majority & took both the awards.

The dogs were working French partridges & the birds were sticking very close to ground as it was a very cold day with a bitter Southerly wind, so we did not see many clean flushes.......in fact the dogs put up more Hares than birds & some just could not resist the temptation of giving them a good old chase....much to their owner's embarassment!

Chris Heron from ISAE Committee was in attendance the whole day & she presented the awards.....& as you will see from the photographs (more photos on my page) she got an unexpected award herself!!! :))

All in all a very enjoyable day with an absolutely super bunch of people & their splendid dogs.
