  • Zepplin

    lets see about this weekend- do I understand right that you built this site?? Very Cool..
  • Gene

    Hey Zepp - contrary to popular belief, I didn't build this site per se. It look me about 10 minutes using a site called Ning.com. I have spent a great deal of time trying to connect with other like-minded Irish Setter lovers around the globe in an effort to grow our community. We have been very fortunate to connect with several key people who have greatly assisted in the promotion of this site. One of the absolute best things about this site is connecting with people around the world. A great example are the countries represented by the commenters below on this comment wall. We have over 170 members from 28 countries at Day 25.

  • ursula wilby

    Hello there Gene!
    I loved the intro to the Lone Star Setters!
    Ive got the boots (bought in Texas) and had the worst ever driving experiance of my life getting tangled up in all those motorways in and around Houston without any idea as to where to go. Im still amazed I got out alive!
    But I am of course lacking the other items/qualifications needed to join!
    I tried to send this message to the whole group, but that did not work without joining...pity.
  • Joan Clancy

    Thanks gene, from NY! This really is the most amazing collections of IS photos........ all on one site! It will take me days to get out of the photo section to check out the rest of what goes on here, lol.
