Hi Chantal !

Hope you and your lovely boys are well ! many thanks for your kind comments on Rohan's photos. He's getting so tall, bigger than Lego now :)

~Michelle & the boys

Thank you for the lovely greeting Chantal.  I am glad you had some sun it was very grey here today.  Holly and Cassie are having great fun and we will be having a full sister for them  in December.  Holly's mum and dad have had another litter so we are gluttons for punishment.  Will post plenty of pictures.

Hope you and your three boys, 4 legged and 2 legged variety.  Need another blog on Wee Mac and Darwin.  Take care Yvonne xx

Hi Chantal, Thank you again for your compliments for Hobson. I know I am biassed because I am his mum but I think he is beautiful too. I hope soon that people stop saying "aahh, what a very old dog" when they meet Hobson on our walks. People think Hobson is around 12-13yo. He turned 8yo in June!! The new vet agrees that the long term misdiagned tumour may have caused Hobson's massive weight loss, etc. It will take a few more months to see. xxxx

Thank you Chantal, unfortunately I just have a English Setter now, lost Ruby in Oct 10 and Sham March 11. Life doesn't seem the same without an Irish, looking for a rescue but although we have a 20 acres Heath at front and many more from there our garden is too small, some silly rules.

Merci Chantal pour tous tes commentaires très sympa...

Hi Chantal, Thank you for all your lovely comments, your photos are fab too :-) x

Thanks for the greetings. I have to adjust created a few photos of my boys.

Thank you Chantal they are all cuties at that age

Chantal - Thanks for the lovely comments on my photos :-)

Thank you very much for pleasing words about my dogs and photos.

thankyou Chantal for your lovely comments

 Thank you for the birthday wishes! I think  , I'm ready for a new puppy :) it would be nice :)

Hi Chantal ! many thanks for the birthday wishes :) had a very nice day ! Rohan always gives lots of cuddles & slobbery kisses :) we all had a lovely walk in the nearby fields but it was just my Irish Rohan & my two English boys, sadly my old boy Connor (the Collie in the photo) is no longer with us.

~Thanks again !

Thank you Chantal.

Cuddles done. One of our favorite traditions. Group hugs on the bed in the morning.

Cheers

Rhonda

Thank you for the birthday wishes, was up early with my reds, best way to spend the day

Chantal,mon amie, Romeo sends you cuddles & kisses in return for your Birthday wishes. No cake i'm afraid, but lots of lovely meats instead, and as you know, i don't think we can spoil him any more than we already do!

Hi again Chantal !

Thanks again for your kind words about Connor, he's gone a while now, my dearest old man, I posted a blog about him back in March, it was his first anniversary away from home after 14 wonderful years together but I still do miss him alot, we never have enough time together with our beastie babies do we?

It is a lovely tree but it does not come close to the deep colour of my boys. I still looking for a tree that does.

It a great photo of them both. It reflects their personalities really well.

He does move nicely with his tail not too high. Stacking is another matter. I don't practice as much as I should. He is an Aust Ch now so we don't show him much. Endurance may be his next organised adventure but we have the wheels on the bike attitude to fix. Can not see Phil or I running 20 kilometers. He is slowly getting used to the bike.

Cheers

Rhonda 

I am reading about Mac the holy terror and looking at the gorgeous pup who would not melt butter in his mouth. Thinking what is Chantel talking about (a naughty  boy).

 Then the photo of the open window!!! Look at me, I am king of the world. Yes that is one Irish Setter devil may care attitude .. I hope this is not a morning ritual just a party trick to scare the family.

Thank you very much :)

Thank you Chantal, yes Kruszynka is still with me. Especially she, because she was a "one person" dog - only mine. We sometimes say about children " eyes sick" - when they can't see mum, they start to cry. So was Kruszynka

Hello Chantal.

thank you for the nice comments;I can't take credit for the cake;it is from a nice dog bakery from Downtown Toronto,

Regards,Doris and the girls

Thanks very much,  greeting Johan

Thank you Chantal.  Looking forward to meeting you in the future at one of the shows.

Thankyou Chantal for your kind comment about our" Grace"

"Merry Xmas"

To you and the doggies 

Hi!

Thanks for greetings on my birthday!!

I have just been to Ireland getting two adults with me back to Norway. Both pure working bred. So hopefully they will cope well with the Grouse here:)

Many thanks for your note of welcome to this site.  I noticed from your profile that your first Irish had Monruad heritage, way back in the late l960's early '70's a pair of Irish from this kennel was imported into SA, unfortunately the line was not perpetuated here. SA also has links with Thendara and Sumaric UK kennels although they do not appear in my own pedigrees.

Initially my husband and I bought a well bred south African bitch in 1970 sired by the late Joan Anderson's SA Ch Kerry Dancer of Andana which became our foundation brood bitch and over the years imported two Cornevon stud dogs bred by the late Janice Roberts and a bitch from Willie Duynkerke.  We have used other UK imported stud dogs from the Danaway and Cataluna kennels in UK.  

Like you we have also had a growing pup this year, namely Oakdale's Night of Bliss(b) who has kept us very busy!  She and her sibling were sired by Int. FCI & SA Champion Apollo of the Chicken Farm (imp Belgium) out of our homebred SA Ch. Oakdales Sunset Safari.  "Bliss" celebrated her first birthday on 9th December.

When we have figured out which buttons we have to press to put a photos into text will let you see this young lady!

Regards

Bridget Simpson  

If That's possible?

Yes I would go for it.

Thanx.

Thank you. It may take me a while to find my round this site its all new to me, will put some pictures on soon.
