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.

    Gosh - you couldn't have summed it up better! In 25 years of owning setters we have never had one so clever! But he has been so good since both sons have been home - yes such a charmer!
    Happy Christmas to you all & I will try & post pictures in the new year.

    Chantal,

    Happy New Year to you as well. Powell is suburb of Knoxville, TN. We are about 3 hours  from Nashville. My rescue, Red, is a great house dog! He is just not so good on the leash and outside. We have property, but he is not trustworthy to run. We are taking him to obedience classes. He will sit, down and come in the house, but forget it outside. 

  • Laura Kolbach

    thank you very much for the b-day wishes! we had a lovely walk with the red girls (and the patchy one), then food, drinks, cake and i think i am going to have some ice cream now :)

  • Cheryl Gorey

    Hope you are having a great start to the new year!  I agree with you, these very special redheads are sometimes the only ones who get us through the rough times!  I often say that my redheads are the only thing that keeps me sane..... and they don't realise the pressure they are under!!!  cheers

    Thanks!

    My wife has been scanning the internet for a while - likely to go for a rescue, and possibly a retriever, but we have not ruled out another setter - so watch this space!

  • Ellen Turberfield

    Thanks for the welcome Chantal,i've enjoyed looking at your photos,i'm not sure how to put photos on but i,ll see if my daughter can put some on.In december Finlay hurt his leg thought it was sprained after 2weeks he had x-rays vet suspected bone tumor but said he was to young after weeks of more x-rays bone biopsys all then sent to specialist they say it's true, but in early december said if that was the case he'd only have 6weeks, were now march and he's still happy but having shorter walks, werw keeping our fingers and every thing else crossed (",)

  • Ellen Turberfield

    Thanks Chantal, your right I think Finlay is a real fighter, he loves going out and meeting every one, he's quite a character everyone knows him, and he's enjoying the extra cuddles and with one look from them big brown eyes gets what ever he wants (",)

  • Peter Hennig

    Hi Chantal there is only us and a 1000 acre dairy farm on our road so the only attention I attract is from the odd car that may come down our road, we can walk for a few kilometers undisturbed

  • Bryony Burns
