Hi Cheryl

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I put the socks on Hobson's feet to stop him from scratching the stitches. Hobson is suffering severely at present with the humidity and he again looks similar to the photo I sent you. His skin problems were not severe before he suffered GDV. In all respects Hobson has not been the same dog. I have another battle ahead with Hammer now because he was debarked. I know the difficulty in dealing with the VSB but one has to try. Otherwise nothing will ever improve.

Best wishes from Susan and her English Setter kids

HI CHERYL

Hi Cheryl

Pass on congratulations to Troy and Rebel and well done yourself. Youngin doesn't like the wet (he hasn't got web feet) its a struggle to get him out and now that he is sound again we don't need him injuring himself again.To hard to keep white poodle white and the forecast for the w/e isn't good and the van becomes to hard to clean. Good luck for today

Cheers Rick

Hello Cheryl,

nice to hear from you. The setters we had and showed years ago were breeding from dogs that come from Listowel kennels from Toowoomba and they were mainly from english Wendover lines. I liked the look of the english breeding previuosly, but now looking at the photos of setters on this site i am flabbergasted. The confirmation of some of the setters and the coats leave me a bit awestruck. but maybe i have been out of the loop for to long.

we showed both setters and cavaliers for quite a few years but kids and work became the top focus but I never lost the love of the breed.

we always have had a dog in the yard but they have never really been mine. Rotties and Sheppards but they belonged to the kids. Now we have the time and we have decided to buy another setter and maybe get back to the show ring. we have looked at a buetifull pair of setters and decided to wait for a pup from the mating at the end of the year. we won't rush into things but will wait for what we like.

looking at your photos you have some nice looking kids too. What are the breeding.

how are you handling all of the wet weather up there, fed up i bet.

thanks for the contact and maybe talk later.

Graham.

Hi again Cheryl,

thanks for the message a few days ago and the information. my wife, Gay and I have been out to see Carmel at Mt. Mee but i needed to ask her if it was fine for me to discuss the fact that we seen her dogs and knew we wanted one of the pups from Annabelle and Macs mating. I think that was their names? we have booked a little girl so i hope all goes well and we are prepared to wait. She told me you and her are in touch on a regular basis.

hope it drys up for you soon.

graham.

 Ta   thanks

Thanks again Cheryl!

Happy you like Pralin!

He is very missed here now.

love

Happy Easter Cheryl!!

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you very much for your comment on my last video ! We are lucky with a very hot and beautiful spring ;-)

Best regards from Belgium,

Charlotte

Hi Cheryl

Thanks for your kind comments on Drifter, as you know this will be probably the last picture to be taken of him

Hello Cheryl,

I asked Carmel for the breeding of Annabelle and Mac and she kindly sent me a copy of their pedigree. She also sad that you researched back further and if I ask nicely you might send me a copy.

we had a ball last night tracking back the line on the net  and seeing the photos that were on there of their family.

If you do send it please email at edwardsgraham@optusnet.com.au

All the best

Graham.

Hi Cheryl,

Many Congratulations Cheryl! Miss Bridget is another very beautiful Millcroft bred bitch.

Hello Cheryl,

just playing around on ES and looking through some photos I seen some dogs by the Romarne prefix. not wanting to show my ignorance, is Romarne bred by Lynn Muir. I figure you would know if any one does. her breed look very nice on photo.

Thanks

Graham

Hi Cheryl,

I was looking at Rhys Dwyers photo of his girl on ES and tried to track the pedegree but it was not on Hooleys or the other pedegree site. After we get the girl from Carmel we will look at getting her a companion in time, but I need to do some research and ask a lot of questions. Setters need a mate Ifeel they are not a breed that are satisfied with their own company for to long. I spoke to Rhys via email once but he doesn't have litters very often but from what I have seen of his dogs they look quite nice. Have you seen them youself? but all this is in the future and it is interesting to look at.

By the way, How tall is your boy or was the judge just short. Congrats on your wins to.

Cheers graham.

Hi Cheryl,

Ciaran was very special as was Ciara's mother, Rachel (a daughter of Ciaran who died on St Patricks Day this year at 16 (b. 1995) I think).  I am tired tonight having gone down to the Southern Highlands (south of sydney) to look at properties to move to.  When I find someone to help load photos into the computer, I will send you a photo.  They are not professional ones just homely ones but you'd get an idea of  what they look like.  I am leaving it up to Myra to choose a stud dog that will compliment Ciara and her pedigree that is now 3/4 Myra's with Nome and a Amhurst bitch I used with Ciaran.  When something happens, I will let you know. Regards, Nardi

Thanks for the birthday wishes :)  Though I think when your toddlers gets to blow out the candles on your own cake, it's time to step aside lol...  I asked Niamh how old she thought I was.  First, she said 3 (because it's 1 year older than her).  I said, nooo, I'm much older than that.  Her next guess - 11.  You see, 10 is a very big number, and mama is older than that, so I must be 11.  Later, she told Glenn I was 26 (I wish!) and she was 29...  Hmm.  A little more number revision may be in order!

Anyway, thanks again!

Congratulations and well done on The Clancy getting his Australian title.....

Hi Cheryl !

Thanks for youe well wishes for Legolas ! he's doing very well at the moment & should have his stitches out on saturday. He's back on 4 legs most of the time...the rascal chewed off the purple bandage. He's a bit lame still but that will pass & his wound is healing up nicely. Just waiting on all that crazy hair to grow back :) A few smaller bone chips were removed but that was the biggest one...poor baby. I'm just hoping now that the tendon continues to behave itself !

Thanks again...hugs to you & all on 'the farm' :)

Hi Cheryl

Aneira's not in season - she's having a phantom.  Very annoying, as she has become extremely destructive of anything fluffy (not a good sign of things to come LOL) and is digging up the garden to make dens.  She ate one of the lounge cushions the other morning, the little rat...  I'm supposed to be showing her this Saturday, but she has developed some nice, wide, child-bearing hips and and saggy back...not to mention being the sookiest sook in sookland.  So we'll see LOL

Hope you and yours are well.  And congratulations again on Clancy's title!  I'd love to try tracking with some of mine...if only I could find the time...
