Thank you so much for your best wishes they are greatly received, I will let everyone know just how many in a few days, I hope.
Thanks again Dee and the girls

Merci pour les encouragements,mais c'est vrai que Dundee fait petit face a certains setters,meme face a Fletcher( d'ailleurs je croyez qu'il été plus grand),ça ne fait rien je l'aime comme il est.Pour une fois qu'il avait bien courru par 40 degré( car il craint la chaleur)
A bientot de vous revoir en Belgique en expo,d'ici la fin de l'année

Hi there Jean CONGRATULATIONS you have won!!!! you can come and pick up the bottle of the best Scottish water, and then you can pick up a bottle and feed a few puppies......I managed a football team + the cheer leaders. hope that you don't do the same with your future litter.. All the best speak soon Dee and the girls

Thanks! We had a lovely weekend in Bremen. I will probably add some photos from the show. Wish you all the best! Regards Jenny

Dank je voor de felicitatie's voor mijn verjaardag
rieky

Thank you for the comment on Ivy and her foal!
What made us so happy was the fact that at one stage, it looked as if she would not survive...and then being on top of the heap in spite of all the earlier problems.

Hi Jean,
thanks for your comment on C. Dancing Light. The two of them were watching he girl's father and I luckily had the camera out!
I enjoyed seeing your field training photos! Hope to hear of some nice results after the trial.
all the best
Susan

Thanks so much Jean for the comments on the babies, the kissing one was so sweet just had to take that one. All for the family album...going to be a bore with all the ''baby'' pictures from now on..Hey why not they are so sweet.
Thanks again Dee and the gang

Thankyou for your nice comments...Lola is very dark in the eyes and the coat...a real mahogany....I hope she stays that way!! best wishes...Sammi

Hi there,
Who did you put your wee girl to...Mr J??? If she is big now, Oh My Goodness, are you going to beet my girl...Oh I hope not for your sake, We have a saying around here, about the Fourth Bridge, (it is being painted forever) you start at one end and go to the other, by the time you get to the other end it is time to start again at the beginning. And that is what the feeding is like around here, and with two grandchildren under 4 to look after too , it seems like its time to go to bed just after I get up, well that is what it feels like. Perhaps 10, this would be a comfortable number, not 15 wouldn't wish that on anyone. but this is what we sign up for when we mate them...is it not????
Thank you for your comments on the wee boy we lost, so sad, and I don't think that I will ever know what happened...not even with the Post Mortem. Good luck with your girl, do let me know what happens, all the best I will be thinking of you.....Dee and the gang

Ah I think that you are very wise with your breeding plan, perhaps the new baby that Aleks and Willem have will be another good one for you, he will tie in nicely, and he too is growing into a nice looking boy, Aleks and Willem really do have an eye for a good dog. I just love all of them, Mr J reminds me of the second dog that I used, Scarletti Cockney Rebel, bread by Rita Pike back in the late 70's and early 80's he had the most wonderful head and his puppies were beautiful, and these puppies are the same wonderful heads all of them, just different sizes fantastic bone, but I am prejudices about these babies...
I have bottles coming out of my ears, feeding them about 4 times a day now, 58 feeds a day. Ah well it keeps me fit, fit for what I really don't know....
Will look forward to seeing your babies they are going to be fantastic..will go on your site and look at the ''kids''
Dee and the gang

Thanks you so much for my birthday wishes - Ive had a great day with family and have the most amazing chocolate birthday cake...I would share it with you all, if I could !! xx

Thank you for your kind comment!
It is always nice to read nice things about your litter and your work, specially for a newbie like me :)

merci beaucoup cher ami, pour vos gentils commentaires, René vient d'avoir 82ans le 25/8, bien amicalement

Bonjour,

Je vous souhaite de bonne continuations...Je vois que vous etes un vrai
specialiste sur les setters irlandais.. Felicitations!
J'espere que vous avez reçu mon lettre d'hier soir...J'attend impatiemment votre reponse. Parce que je suis a la recherhe d'une femelle
Je suis sure qu'une petite femelle de Frisbee me changera de monde de nouveau apres la perte de Maya cherie, comme elle l'avait fait il ya bien 11 ans... Elle etait ma premiere chienne, ma chere setter que j'avait tant attendu...
Elle vivra toujours dans mon coeur...
Je me demande si vous avez vu notre page!
Amities
İlkay Kurdak et Forever Maya

Merci pour votre très aimable commentaire ... Lucky est adorable et a en plus un caractère en or ... Il est toujours sage et déjà très obéissant !

Thank you for your birthday wishes :-) I will get a cake but I have to wait until the evening, I think :-))

Thanks so much for the comments, when I post the pictures I look forward to your comments, so good, thanks again Dee and the gang

Oh Jean you are so rite just about to do that, they are still small and not enough room for all of them..especially when someone probably one of the girls stands in it and goes round and round hovering up the food, no one else can get in.....
Dee and the gang

Félicitations, Jean et Fletcher! Magnifique résultat:-)
Il nous reste encore Sinsheim et Bad Kreuznach, et puis
Baldenheim qui se déroulera sur 4 jours et j'y serai jeudi & vendredi. Il serait bien de voir plusieurs setters irlandais!
amicalement,
Susan

Felicitations pour ce beau resultat.
Gros calins a Fletcher,et un gros steak en recompence.

Hello Jean,

Thank you for your warm welcome.

Octaeve Lernous told me about this website.

I will add some picture ASAP.

Michel

Hi there Noella
The wee boy that I lost was like that I had to feed all day and all night, but when I got up at 2 o'clock he had passed away, I really hope that yours will be fine I am sure if there are two of you feeding it will be better than just me, I am sure that I could have done more for him...but what a litter and born naturally you all must be so exhausted, good luck to you all I will keep everything crossed for you, its these lines they are obviously so fertile, I blame Aleks!!!! ha ha....I think that she must be feeding her boys something special,, to get such special babies from the ''boys'' we will have to meet some time.. good luck I will be thinking of you all Dee and the gang...lots of pictures please..

Hi there
We have a saying over hear...Go teach grandma to such eggs...this means that I cannot tell you how to deal with big litters, you have much more experience than me, I am a mere novice it this big litter thing, but someone told me not to use a bottle at the beginning, just a small syringe, this I found better than the bottles, then I went on to the baby bottles with a number two tit on the end, then there was no stopping them, but I also put a big box in the whelping box, and I am not taking them away from her, although because of the C Section she really wasn't that interested, for the first couple of days, after that well...couldn't prize her away from them. I am so glad to hear that the wee girl is better now, the girls are so easy to get new homes for, its always the boys that are difficult, its such a shame, that there is 6 months to wait, because I have had so many people that wanted both boys and girls, I could have sold mine 3-4 times over...I well still keep everything crossed for all of you, and congratulations again, please keep in touch.
Dee and the gang

I will try again later, but can't find them at the moment, am just going out to the Nursery to ''swap'' granddaughters. and then go to the library with the older one...really looking forward to seeing them all, how are you both holding up???? now that we are weaned here, life is so much easier, I can actually go out now....I see you have one of the rings hope that you have more of them...I will ship mine over to you if you haven't will have them back though for the next litter, probably only two in that one...All the best Dee and the gang

yepp, the weather was very bad .-))thank´s for congrat´s !!

Oh yes, little monsters...but they did behave really well considering, that was the first time I had even tried, perhaps next time will be even worse, because they know what is expected of them...
I still haven't been able to find the pictures of your babies yet...how are they all doing??? All I can say is good luck when they get to about three weeks on...but you are experts at it. Me, I haven't had a large litter like that ever before. 10 was the largest. and that was a walk in the park compared with this lot...and I was nearly 30 years younger, that really makes a difference but hey its only for 8 weeks...Speak soon Dee and the gang

Hi there all
Yes it is the Blue boy, I think that he will be staying even if everyone chooses another one. he just has something about him, he caught my eye when he was first born, I just keep going to him, when I am standing among them, he is also the biggest, nearly 9lb now, they are putting on something like 4oz a day some even more, (greedy ones) well they are all greedy, have you got homes for all of your babies yet??? I was really lucky here, Irish Setters are like hens teeth here in Scotland and there are so many people that want one...for once in my life I was in the rite place at the rite time....really unusual for me...will try and see your babies...Dee and the gang

Hello Jean,

Mine mostly went to their new homes today and yesterday, very mixed emotions. Glad that they have got their new homes, but sorry that they have gone..(definitely not sorry for the work going) More pictures please...

Hello,
Thank you for your nice comments:O)
Reni

PS Nice pictures are here...

bonjour
en fait, non seulement ce sont des beaux chiens qui se classent, mais en plus, Glen, Arouenn et Cotton Candy se sont classés dans un field sur gibier sauvage, dans un biotope parfois difficile et des conditions climatiques venteuses qui ont poussé les faisans dans leurs abris.
Je viens d'apprendre qu'Arouenn s'est classée à nouveau dans les betteraves de Pontfaverger. Je connaitrais son classement ce soir !!!!

Happy Birthday !!!

Happy Birthday from Sweden
Barbro

Merci pour hier! C'est a mon tour aujourd'hui de vous souhaiter un Joyeux Anniversaire!!!

Happy birthday to you happy brithday to you...... Have a very nice day!

Have a totally brilliant birthday!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
