Profile Information:
- How many Irish Setters do you have?
- Two, Darwin has been joined by Mac in June 2011 (I still say 2, but it's now only one, the old one passed away in May 2010)
- How long have you owned Irish Setters?
- 15 years
- About Me:
- I live near the beautiful north coast of Ireland, where Irish setters can have a lot of fun on the beaches or in the woods nearby.
My first setter was Agivey Grouse (aka MC, Tartuffe, Alphonse, Artur - his personality was too big for one name), a dog with FT champions in his pedigree, born in May 1996 and died May 2010. My second IS is Walshestown Darwin, born October 2004, who comes from show dog stock [one grandfather is Thendara the Tourist and the other is Thendara Incognito among Ronzaldo], and he's our wee darlin, Darwin. Our new boy is Mac aka Thendara Fascination (Sumaric Shadow of Mr Jingles x Thendara Vanilla Ice) who is as dynamic as he is gorgeous!

in Dänemark. Im November können die Hunde super toll laufen am Strand.
Tanja und ich haben in Herning ausgestellt. Meine Meisi hat es zum Interchamp.
geschafft. Damit geht es jetzt in die Babypause im Frühjahr. Das Ausstellen
in Dänemark ist schon sehr speziell,aber auch sehr interessant.
Ich hoffe es geht Euch allen gut . liebe Grüße Monika !!!!!

Hunden. Meine 1. IS Hündin Amy ist nur 7 Jahre geworden und sie war immer
krank. Sie war immer 24 h mit mir und wir waren ein tolles Team. Das tut sehr weh.
Meine Meisi soll im Januar belegt werden. Es wird mein 1.Wurf und ich bin
schon ganz schön aufgeregt. Meine Freundin Tanja steht mir hilfreich zur Seite,
sie züchtet erfolgreich Englisch Setter. Drück uns die Daumen und bis bald Monika

hi David, wanted to include a comment when sending the request, like "i see you are friend to some of my friends, so why not getting friends as well" - but something went wrong :-) and i managed to send it without it i believe.

I just read on your profile and recognised that your situation is similar to ours :( our second dog passed away recently and it's still weird for me to say we only have one dog. sounds so awkward. :((

We lost our IS nearly one year ago. She was nine and I thought that was young but reading others stories it seems some members have lost theirs even earlier. She had cancer and it came on very quick and within 1 month she was gone. We were not going to get another one but there you go we now have Molly. They are not easy to get in Australia unless you know where to find them.
I am presently between jobs and other things so am finding this site great. I am most likely spending too much time on it and not doing other things. Molly is home with me and we hardly leave her alone. Bit spoilt. When I do go out she either comes or stays in the house with the back door open. She is so good never destroys anything. Molly is around 14 months old now.

David there is never a replacement for special memories and times we spent with our precious Irish...just a new Irish Setter waiting to share the future with us and show us more reasons we love them. I know how lucky we are to have Molly (never thought I would talk Alan into another dog even ....let alone another Irish!) and I watched this site silently grieving for a little over a year until Molly just fell into our laps. Long story of funny incidents led up to it but it was five years in the making...and Alan blames my Dad who passed away 5 years before Molly came home to us.
If I lived where Chantal and you live...with all those wonderful places to walk an Irish Setter I would have a hard time not having more than two...so I understand why you are wanting another one...will be watching to enjoy puppy pictures ...the one thing I did miss not sharing with our Molly. It's funny how they just sneak into your heart and steal it forever and ever....each one has it's special place and memories that belong strictly to the the special time in our life that they shared . Our Irish Setters until Molly have always been mine....this time Alan stole my dog! We each have our place in her life and she knows who does what with her and who to con into doing what she wants but it is Alan she just stalks to know what he is doing all the time....loving it and have been teasing him I need an Irish lad for me. One day the right Irish will find his way into your life and then the fun starts all over again.

Hi David

Hi David....take it you all have had some storms there also? Hoping ours are done now ...Missouri having been sort of in a tornado rut since December 31!
Poor Darwin....hoping soon he is running free and having no trouble with that paw. Sometimes it seems our cures just make things worse for them, doesn't it? We try so hard to do what is best for them and then they go and mess it up by cleaning and licking and licking things! :) Looking forward to more pictures as Darwin's paw heals ...and hope that chafing heals quickly.
