Profile Information:

How many Irish Setters do you have?: 2 girls right now: Neita & Zilou. dear Odin & Danka watching over us from doggie heaven :(
How long have you owned Irish Setters?: since 1997 february
About Me:: WW'03 EUVW'08 Ch C.I.E. Berboss Instant Coffee (1996-2010) - for me just Odin - was my first setter, she left me 2nd January 2010 after 13 years of friendship. Odin was my all and everything, my best friend in good and bad times. She taught me so much about canine intelligence and behaviour, about love and loyalty. She was purchased for being a normal dog but very soon I got bitten by the show bug. She was a real show girl and compensated my faults in the show ring :) It was her soft character and look-at-me attitude that charmed all people meeting her, friends, strangers and even judges. Thank you Odin for sharing your life with me!
***************************************************************************************
After much thinking I decided to get another girl and doing some research, I ended up in Sweden. This is how Danka - MultiCh C.I.E. C.I.B. Copper's Music 'N' Paws' - came to live with us in 2005. And yes, she taught me new things about canine behaviour :) Through her I was able to get to know the naughty and the run-run-run side of the Irish Setter. She is referred to as 'crazy Danka' by the setter club, hm, does it say it all? So different from Odin, but oh so lovable as well. A real clown, adoring kids, loving dog shows and having so much fun in the fields. Having 13 champion titles and being the first setter to qualify in the field on a Hungarian field trial and gaining CIB by this. Very intelligent, observant and empathetic. Thanks Danka for being with me, love you girl!
***************************************************************************************
And then Neita - Full CH Copper's Wine 'N' Roses HJCH RJCH - arrived. Still cannot decide if she has more angel or devil inside her. She is the sweetest, wants to be close to you all the time, would love to crawl under your skin if that would be possible. Everyone is in love with her because of her beauty and character - bet if I would give her away, people would want to give her back the day after :) She is the destroyer in the house, eats sofas and doors but when she looks at you with those eyes, you just can't be angry on her (for a longer time that is...). She is a big actress as well, pretending to be a real blond - was hard to realize that actually she has brains and a lot! Unbeaten in baby-puppy-junior classes, we look forward to challenges in adult classes. Neita is a talent in the fields as well, already managed to get a CQN just one year old. She backs from the first second on and does not point but sets like a real setter :-)
***************************************************************************************
Pawsword Northern Song, little Zilou - the one I know from the first second on, being Danka's daughter. The one that unites all the positive virtues of Irish Setters without having a bad detail. She has only been shown in baby and puppy class because of big sister Neita. Zilou is getting better with every day and seems to develop into a copy-paste of Danka. The best character ever, the best working abilities. The girl that makes me smile with every move she makes. Love you so much, little girl!

Hi Laura, yes I have a big smile on my face as Zac is now a Show Champion. I keep telling him he is a good boy & he is wagging his tail but he doesn't know why. He knows I am happy so he is too!! Best wishes Chris

Thank you for your welcome. Your girls look full of fun and to me that's what Reds are all about as mine have never had a serious thought, other than at dinnertime, in their heads. They are born to run and that's what they should be allowed to do, run their little legs off chasing after rabbits, squirrels, foxs and pheasants. What a lovely life!!

Japp!
Jag ska börja uppträda med mina gröna ägg (som verkar förbrylla alla). Vad tror du? Iklädd näbb kan jag gå där och vara hönsmamma...en riktigt bra affärside. Eller hur? Jag tar det när jag inte kommer på något att teckna längre...

Thankyou Laura. Yes, thought I'd better add Miss Meggan to my profile pic. She thought she was being left out. After all, her 'special trick' is 'kiss your Muma' so she is just showing off.
You, Odin & Danka have a lovely Sunday also. Here it is lovely and sunny but very cool. Off to the obedience club. Tess wants to see her friends.

Dafür hab ich heute mehr Zeit ;-) Wir haben heute Nachmittag einen Agility-Einführungskurs! Mal schauen wie das wird. Nur so für zwei Monate, während der Brutzeit, wo wir nicht ins Feld können...

Yes, very sad that there are so many miles in between. Luckier these days with the computers to bring the world smaller, but nevertheless we are still very far apart, and rather isolated down here in sunny Perth.
Have a great day too, "Sis."

Thankyou Laura, Yes Megg is such a boss. Poor Tess can't enjoy being 'Irish' without Megg intervening. Tess always initiates the play then ends up being told off when Meggs had enough. (Mmmmmm).
