How long have you owned Irish Setters?
17 Years
About Me:
I am Welsh and now live in South West France with my husband and beautiful dogs, we have been here for just over five years now and all love it. I fell in love with the breed after rehoming a wonderful Irish setter called Beau who was from the English Karidell Kennels owned by Brian and Norma Limpus. We have since added Thendara, Caspian and Shenanagin lines to our dogs and are currently awaiting a litter.

    Bienvenue,
    Rejoignez nous sur Frenchy car une Galloise vivant en France nous aidera bien pour les traductions.
    Nous avons engagé une discution concernant les nouvelles directives de jugement du Red Club sur le forum.

    Hello Sian!
    I think we were introduced at the belgian clubshow - as fellow expats: you in France, me in Switzerland. Dare you join in on the 'Frenchy' theme?
    I'm off to the ISAE in the UK this weekend and looking forward to english sausages!
    all the best

    Hi Sian,
    I enjoyed your comments. I, also, very much liked the photos of your females. As you might already know I have three generations of Irish Setters: the grandfather-Grieg, The father-Jolly Joker and the son-Shar (Sans Rival) in documents. Beside beauty all are hunters. I will send you some photos illustrating their passion for the hunt. I very much admire French Irish setters as they are participating in field trials and other hunting type competitions. Hope to hear soon from you. Doina

    Hello Sian,
    Back from Crufts and looking through the catalogue I realised too late that you had also entered. I would have liked to meet you and talk about the french shows. I am french but I have lived in the UK for over 30 years and have only ever shown and bred here. I may come back to live in France and I wanted to know how it would be possible for me to continue showing and breeding in France. I am sorry I missed you at Crufts and I looked forward to your response.

    Hiya Sian,

    Thanks for your comment which rang very true. Tara has comandeered her own settee in this house - I am disgusted at myself. I was previously a 'no dogs on the furniture' kind of gal, but Tara has a way of winning over even the hardest heart. She has impeccable manners however and will never get up on 'our' settee without permission.

    I love the pictures of your new puppies. I am very puppy broody at the moment, and have considered offers to breed from Tara.

    I just don't know how to be sure, without showing her, that she is breed standard. She has a good pedigree, and of course as far as I am concerned she is the best dog in the world, so who wouldn't want to have a dog with her qualities...

    But there are so many 'pet' dogs out there looking for homes already...
  • Catherine Carter

    Hi Sian,
    Thank you for your comment. I have just picked up my computer from being repaired tonight, so I have just seen your note. I will try to go on the french website to see what is available and I would like to be able to speak to you on the phone too so I will try to ring you in a few days if I may. I am writing this in a hurry as I am off to ringcraft tonight with one of my dogs. Thank you again for writing back.

    Hello,
    That's really great that you have so many excellent English origins with your four setters. Do you have often litters, and are you going to the show ?
    Kind regards.
