I live in Whitstable, a seaside town in Kent, with my husband, two Irish Setter dogs, Chance and Jet and our four cats. I work as a receptionist in our local vets.
Hi there Linda
Thanks for your lovely comment, We tend not to show so much in the winter, Can't stand the small rings you tend to end up with, but we are planning to be out more with the 2 boys in 2010, hope you are keeping well
Hi Linda, It'll be good to catch up at Crufts. I'll be there with Sally and looking forward to having a day watching the setter judging. I'll be busy around lunchtime as I am involved with the 25th birthday celebrations of the KCJO as I was a founder member. We'll keep a lookout for you and goodluck! Kate.x
I only just seen your friend request, I don't know why I didn't get an email as I seem to get them for everything else. Anyway Hi and good luck if you are going to SEISC, will really miss it as it is one of my favourite shows but couldn't leave 6 week old puppies.
Hi Linda, what lovely dogs you have in your photos, you asked about Judy Prior, as far as I know she is no relation but since Prior is my married name I could be wrong, I'll ask hubby :-)
Hi there Linda
Thank you so much for your comment on Findlay, I was really proud of him, it was so nice to have the two brothers in the top four in minor puppy. Long may it last...
Thanks again Dee and the gang...
Thank you Linda for your kind comments, haven't done much yet, been busy, but hopefully will get time to have a good look around this site.

What a small world! I loved my dog as a child and was devastated when she died. Penny was beautiful and the most placid dog ever (Downsway Bright Penny). You can really tell the dogs that have Scarletti in them. My sister also has an Irish Setter called Ruby (Shaytell Peggy Sue) who is now nearly 3. Christmas 2008 we decided to relent and get a puppy for my boys and saw the advert for Colette's puppies. I took my sister with me to look and fell in love with Lily. I try to make out she belongs to my sons but the truth is she is well and truly my baby!!!! My husband didn't even like dogs and now she is his princess.
Nice to see you too Linda...well done Jet..!!! think we were down at the girlie end and missed your class.....:-( we both really enjoyed the day...( more fun than Crufts...:-)....had nice visit with the folks and got home about 10.pm...rather pooped..!!.
Just wondering if you were going to Blackpool champ show or are you travelling with barbara?
Travel lodge in Nuneaton showing £19 night before show:-) I am happy to drive - would like to go but too far for journey home alone...
Think it is sorted now..:-)
just wondering where you got those gorgeous prints from? the black and whites? who was the artist?
Enjoy your holiday! hope the weather holds for you...
take care

Hi Linda, Thanks for the coments on Kira, we are so lucky to have her, your photos are brilliant, isn't this site a time waster I never get anything done. Good luck on Saturday if you are going to Wickford and Basildon keeping everything crossed for Teresa to get her 1 point for JW.
I agree with you about how different the dogs looked only 30 years ago. Jasper was never a great specimen of the breed but he was a fabulous dog to take into junior handling classes, very loyal partner who wouldn't show for anyone else!
Hello Linda,
Sorry to be so tardy in replying! That tree would do well for you, because it is only ornamental, so doesn't grow too large.Very pretty - it is a Eucalyptus Leucoxylon, variety Rosea. Thankyou for all your lovely comments.

Rufus kennel name is Reddins Keats...
He is such a little character, I have a few boarders this week so he's in his element - lots of mates to play with!! He's eating and sleeping well:-) and taken to Archie's tail - constantly hanging off it!! Archie been very good - not grumbled too much - bless him.
I trust you're ok - Are you at Bath today? I was entered but haven't gone...
Take care,
Ali

Hi!
All fine here, just chasing me little Rufus around after shoes, socks etc... really funny little chap - very quick learner... he's eating well and sleeps well too. He has certainly done us well in lifting the spirits here....
I will be at Southern Counties so will catch you there:-)

I trust you are yours are well?!
Hi Linda, Have now got 21 points getting closer 2 shows next week,MISS and Windsor would like to do it but we will have to see! hope you are well, hope to see you soon. Julie x
Hi! Yes, shame I missed today but so much going on at the moment...
Very proud of my boy, Jasper - what a day that was:-)
I hope to go to the ISBC show next week, I plan to take my puppy too so if you're going could meet him there..
I trust all is ok with you and yours...
What is your next show?

Hi Linda.
Thank you for the welcome. I'm enjoying the site, and have seen quite a lot of names I know. Haven't shown for about 3 years so its scary stuff to take the new pup out! :-) See you out and about?
Sue
Ha ha! Be as nosey as you like :-)
Steo is a puppy from Sue Randle's litter. So sired by Reddins Pause at Magiconkers. Dam is Covarney Bewitched between Rionore. 5 years since our last puppy and long time out of showing, but I like what's behind the sire specifically....what we are familiar with...Just want some fun!
Steo is a male.....you know how I love my big boys! Short for Stiofan (Stephen) and prompted by Stephen Gately from Boyzone...I know I'm sad! :-)) But I loved his voice.
oh sorry, I forgot your other question! He's just 6 months so he has a Limit show locally tonight, and then Darlington on Sunday.....we must be totally bonkers!
Hi Linda let us know when you're next passing and we'll do you a coffee. Usually here unless we're off on our travels somewhere. Would love to meet your boys and our boys would love to meet them. Thank you for your comment about the cottage it's old and high maintenance.
Hear from you soon Lois
Hi Linda. Thanks for your comment.
I can see the likeness in Jet. Your pictures are lovely and your boys are incredible.
I am just going to have a proper look through now.
Please give our love to Julie next time you see her. We keep meaning to catch up next time she gets to Maidstone as I know she'd love to see the boys again.
Hi Linda
Sorry for the delay in replying. Hamilton is Caskeys Connemara (brother to Concept, Checkmate etc) Sire Caskeys Persuader and Dam Dunnygask Ginger Spice at Caskeys. Wellington was same Sire and Caskeys Vogue, very sadly he died in feb this year from an undiagnosed mass in his chest. Micawber is Banksett Baron Buzet Sire Mantafield Denis the Menace and Dam Poyanna Flower Amelie at Banksett. He came to us in May at 10mths as his previous owner was going to Dubai and Hamilton having returned from his hols with Mum, aunts, uncles etc wasn't eating having lost his half brother in Feb and we went to Aus in March for 6 weeks. So couldn't really wait for a Caskeys litter. Dempsey who died in 03 aged 15 was out of Caskeys and Gaybrons.
Needless to say we don't show but meet up with some of the breeders at least 4/5 times a year. Hooe to hear from you soon, Lois
Was lovely to see you yesterday. Thought you lad looked very nice. He has come on really well. You must be very pleased with him Thought he moved very well. Boy am I suffering today!! Pleased Jensen took it all in his stride.Hope to see you soon Love Carole x
Won't be at Maidstone as going to the Champ Show. Good luck at the Maidstone shows. The boy is looking good! Let me know how you get on. Take care. Cazxx
Hi Linda,
Thank you very much for your comment about Scott video ! ! ! He is such a sweet boy, a joy to show him. And now I can be a proud breeder too ;-)
Best regards from Belgium, Charlotte & Co
Hi Linda, good to here from you! I own S. Britannia bear, your dogs aunt! Will try to get more photos on soon. Trying to use my iPad which is a bit high tech for me so it's taking a long time to figure out how to do things!!!
You have two beauiful Irish setters, I'm very impressed. If you own two, you have the luck to walk sometimes with more, four or five from what I see here.
