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 . . .
Hi Charlotte, thank you for birthday wishes! Celebrated just yesterday, the party wouldn't have been the same without my boyfriend :-)

So happy for you, and a big well done to Girly! It must be a well deserved win again, as usual :-) Are you planning to enter her for crufts next year??

Congratulations!!

Hi there Charlotte
Such wonderful news for Girly. Congratulations on such a wonderful win, couldn't view the video here so couldn't comment on it but so so pleased for you both, she is truly maturing so well. All the best Dee and the gang
Hi there Charlotte
I am not entering anything at Crufts this year, Jas has retiered and Saffy's breeder is judging bitches, As for Findlay (my boy) he will not be able to qualify for next Crufts he can't be shown until February. But am hoping that he will qualify for 2011 there are a few of his brothers and sisters on ES all in the lap of luxury, still have two that are coming your way, they get their rabies jags on Monday, so they will be on their way soon..
All the best and thank Girly for the lovely present that she sent to me...Dee and the gang.
ps hope to see you all at Crufts and good luck at LKA
Hi there Charlotte
You can come and do some pictures of my little horrors if you want. I am sure that someone with a good camera can take better pictures than me, (a lot of blurred tails and noses)
They were great pictures of great girls
All the best Dee and the gang
