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 . . .
Thank you, we are fine :) My girls enjoy snow, in this year is fine winter in Moscow! Chickadee and Girly looks very nice, I like all your photos very much!
Best wishes for you and your girls!

Hello Charlotte! Thank you for the birthday-greetings and YES, I had a totally brilliant day! Plenty of friends and champagne...cant ask for more can you?
re-bonsoir Charlotte,
J'imagine que vous allez prévroir une échographie dans quelques semaines ... question de savoir combien de petits vont arriver ?
Tout de bon ... que tout se passe pour le mieux !
et me réjouis de recevoir d'excellentes nouvelles tout bientôt. Le temps passe très vite.

Hi Charlotte! So sorry for almost having missed Girly's birthday and Chikadee's litter as well. What is going with me?! Haven't had much time to surf here lately, but trying to catch up the line now. What a lovely choice of stud dog Lancy is for Chikadee! I suppose you will have some wonderful classical heads in the litter, they will be so nice! Congratulations! How you doing, anyway?
Thanks for liking Sarah's babies :-) So pleased with them, so much worth the wait. Wishing you the same feeling with your litter!! Marta XX
Thanks for your kind words about Samsam! Hes a joy to live with. Good luck with the upcoming litter! I am sure the puppies will be wonderful! Hope to meet you somewhere this summer! Are you going to Denmark and WW?
Félicitations pour les vidéos des bébés ajoutées à votre site ! Je les ai visionnées plusieurs reprises avec le plusgrand plaisir, c'est sincèrement très émouvant de découvrir les premiers pas de ces petites poupées.
J'ai vu que les noms J ... tombent au fur et à mesure et se déclinent certainement au rythme des réservations.
Une belle réussite, cette première portée Riverwood, et sans le moindre doute très prometteuse.
Hi Charlotte,
so sorry for not getting back to you sooner thank you for my birthday wishes, it went so quickly as we have puppies going off to their new homes all over the week, only now I have time to catch up on my mails.
Thanks. Suzanne.
Well, me like him quite a lot, you know! Since when is he available at stud, please?! ;-))
We are fine, thanks. Bono is becoming daddy soon. Hope everything will go fine with mommy and we can celebrate the arrival of the very first Bono babies soon.
Looking forward to that soo much!

Just came across your wonderful video ...... Think I have watched it half a dozen times....... My first irish is now almost 8mths dont think there will ever be another breed for me ........
Thank you Charlote I really like your Scot think he stays with his mum and you?
Once you start with breeding soon we have the whole gang at home.
Of course it is not easy to find the compatible sire,but when you have a good car and money every male can be yours-more difficult is to find the worthy bitch to start the line with so don,t worry!
Greetings Vojna
Hi Charllotte
Those headshots remind me of my old Quigley .Beat oval from ear to ear, correct eye and ear set and well protrubance of ociput. Wish you all the best with them.
Cheers Rick
Charlotte,
Qu'ils sont beaux "tes bébés"' !!! Voilà qui m'inciterai bien à reprendre un mâle ;-))
Tu as du passer une excellente journée irlandaise.
Bises et à bientôt
Nous te souhaitons un joyeux anniversaire Charlotte pour ce cap encore facile à franchir . Que cette journée soit belle nous t'embrassons .
