Since 2003
About Me:
Since several years Irish Setters have been part of my life. The love and complicity that we share has been transformed into a true passion.

First Chickadee makes her entry into my life, she was supposed to be a dog, but destiny decided otherwise, and it was not such a bad thing after all, pure joy of which I didn't quite realise the enormity. With her came the discovery of the dog world: shows, obedience and even hunting. The show virus was quickly acquired as at her first show Chickadee was best puppy in show. Enough to say that I didn't have to be pushed into becoming passionately addicted. I have enjoyed some great moments at the shows with Chickadee. In 2006, she was Europasiegerin at Dortmund, consecreted best bitch in Belgium by the Belgian Irish Setter club and third best bitch in Holland. Beginning of 2007 she became German Champion.

The 4th April she had her first pups in the kennel where she was born and one of her daughters Girly Girl came to live with us. Girly don't needs to prove her worth in the show ring. She is not only already a German Champion but also Belgian Junior Winner 08, Dutch Junior champion and in 2008 she won Best in Show at the Junior Day of the Belgian Irish Setter Club at just 17months with an entry of some 80 junior Irish. Lately at Bath at only 25 months show in England she wins her entry into the English Kennel Club Studbook and a life qualification for Crufts, a great achievement which can only make me even more proud of choosing Girly.

26.05.2010 My dream come true, my first litter and the 2nd for Chickadee ! She give birth to 12 puppies (10 boys & 2 girls). From this litter a boy stayed with us, he is named "Scott" Riverwood Jungle Rock" He is the son of Multi & Int Sh Ch Sametsuz Sunset. He has already did a great impression on show by winning a lovely 3th best baby in show and 5th best baby in show . . . he just grow up like I want, the future will tell us if I have reason to believe in him ! ! ! Way to go Scott . . .

    Pleased you like my boy, it was a great thrill when he gained his title in March at the ISBC, then went on to beat the bitch and go Best In Show out of an entry of 357 Irish Setters.

    Love your web site and your impressive dogs.

    Many thanks! I can't make Luxb but am thinking hard about the junior day - but Glen is such a handful to show that I might just take the easy way out and work on him quietly at home... it is not that he doesn't enjoy himself, but my nerves are in bits & pieces at the end of it!

    Salut Charlotte,
    comment se fait-il que mes commentaires soient accompagnés d'une croix rouge? C'est ainsi que par mégarde j'ai effacé le tien...

    Hi Charlotte, All our puppies left last Thuesday/ Wednesday. All to very very nice homes, so I am very happy. One is living now in Holland, 3 in Germany and one stayed in Poland. Tomorrow I drive to Holland to have a look at Aylien's puppies and to make some photos of them. I am very curious how they look. They will be half brothers and half sister to your Girly, so hope they will be also as sweet :)))))

    Bonjour Charlotte,
    J'ai déjà rencontré les maîtres de Gypsie qui habitent à Belfort : ils m'avaient réservé une chienne. Je leur ai souhaité beaucoup de bonheur avec Gypsie mais ils n'ont pas donné suite.
    Attention !!! Je vais te prendre au mot pour les cours de présentation : tu vas devoir animer une cession pour nous qui ne savons pas présenter nos chiens !!!
    Amitiés
