Hello Ewa, Thanks very much for the pictures!! Yours are much better than mine ;-)) Much gratulations to the great results of your Palisander - that's really great and you can be very proud! For us it was the first experience of a dogs show ever - and I feel we have presented us not so well ;-) but it does'nt matter
I have seen that Palisander has reached a very good result on field trail - do you want to reach more of it? Are you hunting with Palisander? How are his hunting skills? I have seen his parents have very good hunting skills ..
Best greetings from Michaela

Gratulacje za Nową Rudę! Fajnie, że spotkaliście się z Michaelą, na pewno było jej raźniej w gronie 'rodzinnym'.

Thats great that you would like to work with Palisander - I like working setters. And I'm very interested to read more about your trainings and field tests - and see some pictures ;-) I will crossed my fingers for April field test and I hope you enjoy the working & training with your Jonasz. Maybe Renata can help you with training too? I think she has much experiences in training with setters.
Best greetings from Michaela

congrats on your show result :-) well done!

Hello Ewa,

Thanks very much for paying complements to my photos ;-) It's just a hobby to take pictures of my dogs - I think its the same to you.

I dont want me to call a specialist in training setters. In autumn 2005 I get my first dog ever - my English Setter Sancho - and started to learn with him about hunting training. And now I am not on the end of learning - sometimes I feel I am just at the beginning and in some subjects I need teaching as you ;-)

On my way with Sancho (he dont likes to retrieve - also not in playing) I have learned a method to teach the dog to a safe retrieving. But this method need a lot of time, is seperated in a lot of learning steps and need a lot of repetions of each step. The first step for ex. is: the dog has to hold a dummy in his mouth without rebelling against it - first at home and in sitting and only seconds, later outside of home and by walking for many minutes.

Maybe you can give me your Mailadress (send it to me at working-gundogs@web.de ) and I try to explain the steps in english, maybe with photos - but needs a bit of time and english-knowledge (you know, my english is not very good).

It's a pitty that you are living so far away .. I think it would be better to meet us and I can show you how to train.

with kind regards
Michaela

Hello Ewa,
You wrote: "Jonas doesn’t want to take a dummy in his mouth." The main thing of the method is that Jonas has to learn: I MUST retrieve, also if I don't want it.
I would like to write more details to you about the first very important step - but I think it is better I wrote you an EMail. So where can I find your Mailadress?

hello, thanks for all the comments. i will ask Emese (kennel Berboss) what lens she used, it was her to take those lovely photos in sprint.
the "artistic" was done by me and my little Sony cybershot camera, and i have no idea how i did it, just pushed the button against the sun :-)))

hello Ewa, i started to arrange the photos into albums already, but it is a hard job with so many photos... i think i have the most pictures here on this site :-))

Sorry Ewa, I have not enough time at the moment. I send you an email as far as possible. SORRY!
- Michaela -

Great photos.

many thanks for your kind comments on my beautiful layla.your dog is very nice also.layla is 4 and she has the eye disease pra.she is almost blind but she loves everything about her life and is adapting extremeley well to the situation,such a happy baby and the boxer dog in picture is our other dog who is brilliant at bringing layla back if she goes away from us. merry christmas to you and your family and may you have a good new year

Thank you Ewa for all the nice comments on my photographs! We seem to have the same taste when it comes to photos!
I love yours too!!!!!!!!
Photos that show a little bit more than the ordinairy...:-)

hi ewa you can not correct the eyes by removing with red eye it wont do it .we have some beautiful photos of her but i wont put them on due to the fact the eyes are an illuminous yellow and they make her look like an alien (our beautiful alien)

if you can do anything to correct the photos youre quite welcome to have a go cos im not that good with computers.many thanks for asking

Thank you so much Ewa!
My two boys love to playing in the snow, there enjoy it so much !
Regards and all the best for you and Palisander (what a wunderful name!!)

hi ewa colour is fine please place them in your albumn.at first it looked a little strange but i think its because the more the disease as progressed the more illuminous they have become due to the light bouncing back from the retina.many thanks

Ewa--how beautiful is your Christmas Irish Setter--makes me miss having one so much--hopefully early next year.
happy Christmas from Liz

Thankyou so much Ewa. Such a beautiful card. We wish you, your family, and your beautiful Jonas a very Merry Xmas also and hope you have a wonderful Xmas day.

Lynn.

Thank´s Ewa,

Greetings from the southern tip of Sweden...no snow, just a howling gale. :-)

Ewo i Piotrze,

życzy
Ania z Bajką i Kruszynką
Załączam całuski i głaski dla Jonasza.

Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy year 2009

hi ewa ive managed to put pics in my photos.many thanks for helping me

Hello Ewa, thanks for christmas greetings! I wish you a good start to the new year. I have send you an email.
Best greetings from Michaela

Hello Ewa, I like Dummies more than wooden apportel because they imitate the body of the game in a better way. BUT you also can use the woody thing - it does'nt matter - but do not change the retrieving thing at the first step. For the beginning I approve the 500g standard dummy - but later a IS can bring things with a much higher weight up to 8 kg and maybe more - like a weightily fox in winter ;-)

happy new year to you and your family ewa

Ewo,
dziękuję za komentarz i życzenia dla mojej Krusi.
Spotkanie w polu, bardzo chętnie - tylko gdzie. Ja tej jesieni trochę pracowałam z Kruszynką. Wszystko zaczęło się od sójki znalezionej w polu, która posłużyła za pierwsze zwierzątko treningowe.
Namówiłam Dorotę do współpracy i tak razem napędzając się do pracy - cos zrobiłysmy. Chyba jutro do niej zadzwinię, żeby w niedzielę popracować. Tylko muszę rozmrozic jakiś aport.
Moc pozrowień i głaski dla Palisandra
Ania z Bajusią i Krusią

Cześć Ewo,
Ja spontanicznie po znalezieniu sójki zaczęłam z Krusią ćwiczyć odszukiwanie zagubionej zwierzyny, podejmowanie jej, przynoszenie aportu i oddawanie. I potem zaczęłam z bażantem. I powoli zaczynam wierzyć, że Krusia może to wykonać, najgorzej było z początkiem, czy odnalezienime i podjęciem. Ale mam nadzieję....
Wspieramy się z Dorotą, więc może coś z tego wyjdzie, o samej nie zawsze chce mi się cos robić.
Właśnie na jutro umówiłam się z Dorotą, ale zobaczymy, co z tego wynjdzie, bo w tej chwili ostro śnieży!
Pozdrawiam śnieżnie z białą Bajką i Kruszynką
Ania

nice cobweb as background! love it!

Ewa, I have had setters that have been great retrievers without training...but not these two! Especially the metal one has been a lot of trouble. And then when you jump with them, they would just have a huge problem holding them HARD enough. So the metal dumbbell would bounce about and chip their front teeth.

Thanks Ewa and also for your New Year greetings. I hope to have a little boy in the beginning of March.
Best wishes for 2009.

Dziękujemy za pochwały - jestem pewna, że za rok Jonasz też będzie miał takie zdjęcie! A historyjkami z psio-ludzkiego życia chętnie będziemy się dzielić w przypływach wolnego czasu. Ale właśnie czuję, że mi się obecny przypływ kończy - mam jakieś małe łapki na klawiaturze...

Thanks Ewa for comment the photo of Jamie.
He has playing with a snowball :-))) and also eat them ! Bon Appetit :-)
Regards and all the best Esther

Hi, Ewa and thank you on your congratulations! My puppy Rubin is very sweet girl and i hope we will enyoj in our next shows.

Thankyou Ewa for Meggs birthday wishes. She has had a lovely day and is very happy and contented now.
Appreciate your wishes very much. xxxooo

Hi Ewa!
Thank you for comment on Birthday blog...
Today all our reds have been sleeping almost the whole day.

Hello Ewa!
It´s OK to use my photos.
Have a nice weekend.
Greetings Annika

many happy returns on your birthday ewa hope you have a lovely day

Hej, Ewo,
dawno Cię nie było widać na ES.
Serdeczności na urodziny, szczęścia, zdrowia i niech Palisander wspaniale biega!!!
Pozdrowienia dla Piotra

Super zdjęcie z chabrami - świetny kadr:)))

Ania z Bajką i Kruszyną

Happy birthday Ewa! :))

Cześć, Ewo,
Kruszynka dziękuje za miłe słowa i nadstawia łepek i boczek do pogłaskania.
W Twoim zastepstwie ja to zrobię;)))
Do zobaczenia gdzieś w polach...
Ania

Cześc Ewo,
serdecznie dziękuję za życzenia.
Miło cię usłyszec, ja w tym roku pauzuję z Kruszynką, więc w ogóle mnie nie będzie na wystawach. Byłam za to na Crufcie i jestem tym zachwycona, skala wielkości, organizacja, sposób prezentacji, psy - perfekcja i profesjonalizm we wszystkim. Światówka w Bratysławie była żenującą imprezą, po obejrzeniu Crufta jeszcze bardziej to widzę. Poznańska światówka - tylko jeszcze zyskała w moich oczach.
Co u Was słychac, czy robiliście jakieś nowe konkursy z Jonaszem, chętnie bym obejrzała tez jakies nowe zdjęcia;)))
Bajka całymi dniami śpi w moim lózku (w czerwcu będzie miec 13 lat), już tylko z Kruszyną chodzę na długie spacery.
Pozdrawiam Ciebie i Piotra, głaski dla Jonasza
Wesołych Świąt także
Ania

Witaj Ewo
Dzięki za miłe słowo. Chłopaki mają już 9 tygodni i jeden pojechał do nowego domu.
Pozdrawiam Was serdecznie i mam nadzieję że się w tym roku gdzieś spotkamy.
Wesołych świąt.
Dorota ze stadkiem.

Dzięki, Ewo, za miłe słowa.
Trzymam kciuki, żeby Wasze plany (ale ich jest dużo!) udało sie z sukcesem zrealizowac.
Bajka czuje się dobrze, tylko w tym wieku, najbardziej lubi spac i w ogóle wylegiwac się w łożku.
Pozdrawiam
Ania

Happy Birthday- hope it was a good day

Happy, Happy Birthday, Ewa -hope you are enjoying your special day!
