Profile Information:

How many Irish Setters do you have?
Two again. Darwin (17/10/2004) and Mac (born 1/6/11).
How long have you owned Irish Setters?
Since 1996
About Me:
My love story with Irish setters started in 1996 with the most wonderful IS ever - MC, a field trial with Monroad ancestors. I was so lucky to have this very special and clever boy!!! Unfortunately, I lost him in May 2010, a couple of days short before his 14th birthday.
In between, in January 2005 came very handsome Darwin, the sweetest nature possible, Irish born with Thendara gd-parents. Recently we had a new addition to the family, Mac (the holy terror), born the 1/6/2011 from Sumaric Mr. Jingles and Thendara Vanilla Ice.

    Chantal,C'est bien sur une ancienne photo de Glen . C'est un frère de Girly Girl de Charlotte. Il est très beau aussi ! Nous l'avons placé dans une famille qui avait déjà un setter à nous.Malheureusement, on ne peut pas garder tous les chiens que l'on produit !

    Merci de votre intérêt pour nos setters. A bientôt

    Bonjour Chantal,

    Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire au sujet de Girly mais aussi de son frère Glen ! Maman Chickadee et papa Dooley ont bien travaillé, ils peuvent être fiers d'eux, moi je le suis ;-) Ils ont eu la chance de gagner ensemble le titre de "Belgian Junior Winner" lors de l'exposition de Bruxelles en 2008, c'était magnifique ! ! !

    Cordialement, Charlotte & Co

    Hi Chantal

      Thanks  for you comments on the  two veterans.   to those who know Quest well... know she can give  that look.   roll her eyes   when bored    give the glare if not going her way   to people who dont know her most give a double take  at some of her expressions   as a friend said a bit of  a drama queen...... Sassie is a peace maker ...all has to be right in her world.

    Hi Chantal. Many thanks for the birthday message.  We're getting ready to go out for a lovely, long walk and then we'll settle down for an afternoon in the garden. 

    The other day, we visited a litter of puppies so now we're getting ready to have a new ankle biter in the house so Benson won't know what's hit him!  I'm sure he'll cope!

  • John Bell Young - Mike Connolly

    Merci, Chantal!. Est-ce que vous etes Francaise? Nous avons a petite appartement a Paris, depuis longtemps...mais avec les chiens, c'est impossible, malheureusement, l'utiliser... Alors, au moins que nous avons ce cite ci (!) --c'est superb!
  • John Bell Young - Mike Connolly

    Thanks, Chantal  I must say it's odd to hear the notion of  exoticism associated with anything American, least of all Mike and me  But  I can tell you that, during the Bush era, when I was performing a lot in the UK and Scandinavia, the adjectives folks found for Americans were not nearly so complimentary as that!  As a  person sympathetic to the sentiments of those days, I paid tribute to them by imparting to our beautiful lab, Ben, a bit of wisdom that affects his behavior outdoors to this day Have a look:

    Thank you Chantal for the birthday greetings.

     

    Giles arrived in Nairobi on 15 April and is adorable.  He is growing fast and eating like mad.  He has settled in well with our existing female adult Setter - the cat is not so sure about him though!

    Hi, I have one dog at the moment and she is an IRWS. I am looking in the near future for another IRWS. In my youth I owned an Irish Red Setter named Honey (Donagairdie Collean) and that is where my love for Setters started.
  • Georgina Peacock

  • John Bell Young - Mike Connolly

    Hi Chantal!  I'm delighted to hear you're an opera lover, as am I.  My book on the life and music of Puccini "Puccini: A LIstener's Gide" was published last year by Amadeus Press. It's an entertaining read, should you have a chance to find and read it As far as I know there are no plans to translate it into French, though plans are afoot, I understand, to translate it into Chinese!
  • Sally Webb

    Chantal

    'Diddy' Was by a dog called Lord Grumpy of Goldings who was 100% Wendover and was from the first litter that we bred. She considered her total reason for life was to hunt birds unfortunately she was only interested in birds that were flying. She would spend hours trying to catch swallows and was still willing to try just before she died in her 17th year.

  • Natalie Garcia
