About Me:
I grew up with setters, My mother had them all her life, but I did own my first one until 1992 when I decided I would like to start showing and my mum and I bred our first Heathclare in 1995, since then I have had several JW's & stud book numbers and B.I.S and my lovely Spirit with 2CC's.
I also had the pleasure of awarding CC's for the first time in 2008.

    Hello Claire!

    Nice to hear from you! Our family, including the dogs ofcourse, are doing just fine! I hope all of you are keeping well. Yes we are coming to Crufts! I am so glad cause I really think it´s a great happening! I am also very curios of the Uk dogs. Havn´t been over for 2 years and from what I can see on photos I thing there has been a great development. See you in three weeks and have nice weekend!

  • Jenny Ronnebro

    Many thanks for the flowers. I have no idea how to give you a gift. But if I could I would have given you some chocolate!
  • Dawn Riddell

    Thankyou so much Claire for your support. Losing Bailey is unbearable, he was very special to me. I sometimes read the show report you wrote about him from the North East Club Open Show, it makes me swell with pride. It was his best critique. I always meant ot thankyou for your appreciation.

    I can't believe he's gone.

    Thank you Claire for your Welcome mat! I just saw your pictures and what a beautiful pair of dogs you have!! Especially the dirty one and the one which is in the water completly with his head. My second setter Gordy did the same! Kind regards, Marion Kroes
  • Eunice Marott

    thankyou for your welcome note. I am really looking forward to having another setter soon (after Easter). I have so many plans for the new pup as I will be able to spend more time with this one. We live in Sydney and near a large amount of water so when the pup is old enough off we go to explore.

    Hi Claire,
    Thanks for the welcome. We are about an hour and 10 minutes from Sandusky. I love your pictures. My first Irish spent a lot of time with black labs so he was always in the water, too. He would spend hours running through water trying to catch the bubbles. My son is in Palo Alto now--about an hour away from the Golden Gate Bridge.

    Love your pictures!
