I have 2 Setter Girls, one English & one Irish. They are both aged 6yrs. I am married with 3 children, grown up now. I am Australian and live in Melbourne. I have loved Irish & English Setters for more than 20 years and now have one of each which are both an absolute joy to own. We got them both as baby puppies together. They are best friends and are always looking out for each other. We belong to a local obedience club where the girls have done well. Tess, my Irish, continues to go to school each Sunday.
Thanks Lynn for your much appreciated comment about our grand daughter Connie and Youngin. We are proud of them both. Hope to get to Melbourne sometime next year.
Cheers Rick
hi Lynn, yes yes, beautiful new baby girl and oh so smart! she is called Neita, it means "little girl" in Sami language.
another wonderful news is that Danka seems to be really pregnant, hope all goes well in the next weeks and even after. definitely not a boring summer this year!
hugs to you all
Laura, Danka, Neita and Odin from above
oh well, trying not to but... maybe my parents can keep her, dad already wanted to take neita :) also, i would have to think about another unusual name :-) (ok, lets face the facts: i am sure that one girl stays...)
Thank you Lynn for your comments! Yes, Jamie to grow up to little genleman :-) we have much of fun with him. Glenn show him, how he must retriev from the water ... funny!
Have a good time and hugs to Megg and Tess
Esther
Hi Lynn
Yes, they are very special. She has a special gift with all dogs and they all adore her. There is a lovely photo of her and a poodle pup on astiistandardpoodles.com.au home page
Cheers Rick
Hi there Lynn
Thank you for your comment, I am keeping my fingers crossed for her, my vet is looking into things for her treatment, and we are hoping that this new injection will help her,
Thanks again for your prayers I am sure she will appreciate it, Dee and the gang
Hi Lynn, Meg and Tess! Thanks for the comment on our photo together. She is a very content girl and we love her to pieces. You have some beautiful pics of your two girls...they are very beautiful. Love your E.S page by the way it looks amazing!

Hi Lynn
thank you so much for your lovely comment. It is a pity that you live in such a big distance, because Glenn and Jamie would enjoy it very much, to swimm with your lovely girl!!!
Have a good time and regards Esther, Glenn and Jamie
Hi Lynn,
Beautiful dogs! I've seen one or two English setters around here too, and I must say, they impressed me with their wonderful natures. If I weren't getting an IS, then it would be an ES for me.
Thanks so much Lynn for your thoughts on my old lady, Jas is such a sweetheart and if I can have her for a wee bit longer, so long as there is a good quality of life, that is the main thing, so hears hoping that this vaccine will help, it won't cure but hopefully help, all the best and thanks again Dee and the gang
dear Lynn, thanks again for your comments! they are already 8 weeks old!!!!!!!!!! unbelievable how time flies! the first one leaves already tomorrow, second beginning of next week, one girl stays for sure until i find a better home for her as i can provide and red boy, hm, not sure yet, i canceled his booking due to some disagreement with the buyer, so he is for sale again. would love to keep him near though. he is soooo nice! (lots of crying ahead when they leave...)
hello Lynn, thanks again for your comments! as you see, the babies found the most loving homes one can wish for. all have doggie friends as well within the families, biggy has a golden retriever, glady has 3 other irish setters and bella a hairy mix-breed. and zilou, oh well, she has mum danka and nanny neita to entertain :-) danka changed 180 degrees after the pups were gone, she behaves like a half a year old baby. jumping around, pulling on the lead, very very playful and quartering the fields in full speed - so back to normal again :-)
i think i am quite happy now.
hugs to you and the 4-legged ones
yes, i decided t keep most of them here around, black boy is on cyprus though. and yes, zilou stays. after long long thinking and sleepless nights... she is just to good in every way to give her away. and well, it has been my dream to own an own-bred dog, so why should the plans change? ok, neita came in the meantime but she has been such a good nanny and just can't be the reason for not keeping a baby. :-)
Hi Lynne
So sorry to hear about your meg, sorry for your loss. Sorry i did not see sooner only i had a virus on my computer. will be thinking of you at this sad time. xx
Hello Lynn!
How are you ?
We wish you a very happy St.Nicholas Day!
We- mostly children, celebrate this day tomorrow.They find their packets of sweets and fruits in their CLEAN boots. It is different from Christmas Eve.We still believe that Jesus brings presents under our Christams trees...
Thinking of you...
Thankyou for your beautiful words. It was very upsetting to hear you have lost Megg. I still have Mahogany 14yrs 1mth, thanks God but she is very frail & I know she hasn't long. We have dogs & love them but some spirits are given to us that somehow are just very special. I know Megg was like that for you. Thinking of you.
Thank you for your warm welcome to the site and its lovely to see all those who love the english setters i will make sure to keep you posted and up to date with our lovely boy and his many antics
We hope you have all been safe with the floods in Vict. Because these natural disasters have been predicted for some time I found a piece of land on a ridge in the mountains. We get belted by the winds which can wreak havoc and the torrential rain does cause erosion and other problems but at least we will not be flooded. I own horses as well as dogs and I could never leave them.
I enjoyed looking at your photo's of your two girls. My two girls are best of friends as well. I was very sad to see that you lost Megg. I hope that Tess is coping with out being with her best friend.
Hi Lynn, thanks for inviting me to be your friend and for your welcome to the forum.
So very sad to hear that you have recently lost your beautiful Meg. My heart goes out to you and your family. It's a massive shock to say the least when they go at such a young age. We were devastated when we suddenly lost our English boy Gus, he was in his prime at just 6 years of age.
Mitch is improving by the day. Hope to upload some photos of him soon...will let you know.
Thankyou for your comments.I have just been admiring your pictures especially the water ones.
Bailey has already found every water filled ditch and looks longingly at the local widlelife pond when we walk past each day. Ia m sure if he was not on the lead he would be straight in. But then at least he would come home clean
I am not sure if it is the water or the ducks he is interested in but maybe both
Hi Lynn. Thanks for your lovely comment about Jakers. These photos were taken quite a while ago, he is now 18 months old. I will put some up to date ones on as soon as I can.
