I grew up with dogs as my grandfather was head gamekeeper on a large estate in Scotland, my home country; he bred labradors and as a family we also owned several German Shepherds. I have been in love with Irish Setters since I was at University but didn't own one until 1983 since when I have been owned by many setters. The dogs don't so much live with me but rather tolerate me living with them!
Welcome Lynne. This is a great site, and I'm sure you will enjoy it very much. I'm Lynn also, from Melbourne Australia. I have 2 Setters, one Irish and one English. Both are 6yrs old. We got them as baby puppies together and they've been inseparable ever since. I just love both breeds. We've had Irish Setters before, but this is our first time with an English. They are very similar in personality. Both girls are very quiet and gentle and just a pleasure to live with.
Again Welcome.

Hi there Lynne
Thanks for your thoughts, I think she is at last on the mend, she seems back to her old self, just a little devoid of hair, why is it vets have to shave so much coat of???? Thanks for the request as well. Dee and the girls
Hi Lynne, Just to say hello, I joined this site on Sunday after I had been to S of England Irish Ch Sh, my Scarletti boy won 1st in Special Yearling, must say I am totally hooked on this site, hope you and your dogs are well, and look forward to seeing you at some shows maybe in the summer. Regards Linda.
Hi Lynn, nice to hear from you.Sorry to hear about the loss of your 2 girls.I am going to the Midlands with Barbara, so will catch up with you there. Bye for now x Linda
Hi Lynne
yes he is the spit of Liam...im delighted he got made up, still say i should have had a puppy from them, never mind..politics played a lot in Liam not being made up im afraid...pleased i wasnt at Paignton..my did you see the matching wellies :))
Hi there Lynne !
No , can't remember the last time I saw you !! Been a long time .
Would have come to watch you judge , at Worplesdon , but it was my Son's birthday - and he was having a Bar B Que that day , in Hemel Hempstead , not exactly local to Worplesdon !! But I hear it went well , I trust you enjoyed it ?? Hope the weather was better for you than for us , it poured !! XX
Hi Lynne .. thank you for your congrats .. yep .. it certainly has made the long journey back well worth it .. it was a lovely day .. catch up with you soon I hope .. where you going next?
Thank you Lynne on your comment :) Yes,they aren't like that at all,you know how playfull and happy a little irish is :) love your photos with the puppies!
Lynne - lovely to hear from you. Yes I remember all the good times! Having fun but yes, wish I was in England more - especially with Cassidy! love Rachel
Judged Cassidy at 3 months 1 week in Belgium and asked if I could have him!! Frances very kindly said OK so got him at Crufts this year when he was 13 months old. He is full of "Irish blarney" even with the foreign accent! Love his temperament though. He goes back to all the lovely old Wendover dogs - Gold Eagle, Wynjil, Danaway - loads of really nice stuff. Was surprised when I took the pedigree back. First few generations really good european stock. Absolutely over the moon I am so lucky if only I could be rich as well.....
Hi, thanks for your attention for our Frisbee's puppies.
She is recovering very well ! For the collars , they are in cotton .
We buy them in a shop who is specialized for the wool, tissues, buttons... We begin by the red for the first puppy and then the other colours of the rainbow..and then we mix two colours !
Have to change them every day ! Never had problem with them !
Have a nice sunday !

Hi Lynne, I'm new to this site. Me hubby and reds were living in Bournemouth Dorset and then we decided to move to Spain in 2006. Our boy and girl settled in brilliantly and did excellent on the crossing from Poole to St Malo. You probably know a few of the same people I knew as I used to be in the show ring more so in the late 70's and early 80's and then again in 2000 I miss it, in alot of ways, Dog shows are not as plentyfull here in Almeria Spain Can I add you as a friend as it is good to keep in touch with Red owners in uk. Pam
Oh bless Barb, he looks so like his Mum 'Katie Cuddles' I can't believe it. I will try desperately to get Autumn, Erin, Fizz & Brits to stand still long enough to have a photo taken & post it on the site...wish me luck!
Hope you & the boys have s super Christmas & that Santa is good to all of you. Much love as always from Chris, Gavin & I, xxxxxx
Sorry to hear you are laid-up, Lynne.Get better vey soon. At least you have ES though. Just imagine how bored you would have been otherwise!
Thankyou for your very sweet comments. I am really touched.
How nice are some of you on ES! It has been a pleasure to come on to this site.
Best Wishes

I thought that Fin would stop the chewing when he got all his adult teeth, well he has all of them BUT the chewing still goes on, perhaps its because he still hasn't lost the puppy eye teeth they are still firmly stuck in his jaw. Give it a little more time and then perhaps have to do something about it, or he will cost me a fortune. Your baby looks lovely All the best Dee and the gang
Hello Lynne!
Exiting time waiting puppies, hope everything goes well and you got lot of healthy puppies.
Do you have any photos of your Brits?
Let me know when puppies arrive.
Greetings Annika
thanks for your comment, Lynne. i love that picture, but it is not professional enough, bad light, no real sharpness :-) i know, i am too critical... the pup just turned 5 years yesterday!
Thanks Lynne - you've got your hands full with babies - it is fingers crossed that it has been a fruitful trip to Belgium
We got stopped by the French Police at one of the toll booths onthe way back - they were pulling over loads of people and asking questions - so what does one say when asked what have you been doing in Belgium - mating my dog I repy - they looked at each other and went 'ahh hump hump?' and i said yes hump hump !! i was waved on leaving them laughing!!!
looking forward to catching up with you at Crufts
love RO

Hi there Lynne thanks for the comment on Findlay, greatly received. And would you like him, I had forgotten what this stage is like....Oh let it be over soon, although saying that with his mum and dad I am going to have to put up with this 'stage' for many years to come. Oh Joy!!!! Thanks again Dee and the gang
ps love the choice of music...;o))
Hi there Lynne
You said it..I have to keep pinching myself, these puppies have hit the ground running, such fantastic results. I just can't believe that I have breed such a wonderful litter, Mum and Dad are the greatest, and obviously a wonderful combination...I am so lucky and so so very proud of them and their great owners...
Thanks for the comment Dee and the gang
Thanks Lynne......nothing quite as nice as doggies snuggled up by the fire is there..? Oh, and the wine, that goes without saying....:-)) When are your lovely puppies leaving home ?
Hello Lynne
Yes I do have one of Dee's 2009 puppies and he is so beautiful. As I said to Dee last week I love him so much it hurts....
Just listening to the music on your page and have tears in my eyes. Still not over loosing my girl last July, she was 15 and my total soul mate....
Best wishes Pamela and Henry "Mayfred Mr McCoy"
Thank you Lynne for nice words about my photostory. Kruszyna has truly very good nose, she passed perfectly field trial proof - got 102 /112 points, she defeated some hunters' dogs.I was very proud of her.
