About Me:: I love irish setters . I mainly have show dogs but have working irish as well which i train for field trialling.I have had a full champion CH Astleys Portia of Rua who was the first Irish to win BIS at CRUFTS in 1981 and a field trial champion FTCH Rua Connemara of Porschet.I have also owned and worked a Gordon Setter Lusca Black Shadow at Porschet and a Pointer Ferglen Feroda at Porschet who also won awards at field trials.I have also handled my mothers Irish Red and White setters at trials and have taken them shooting with me.I also have been successful with my show pointers. I am a championship show judge of Irish Setters and have also judged some field trials on Partridge and Grouse.Outside dogs i enjoy playing tennis, piano/keyboard/guitar and reading.This keeps me fairly occupied.

Thank you Colette,
No no Girly isnt à Greyhound, I'm sur her mummy and her Daddy are IS ;-)
Maybe her life before being an IS, it was a racing dog because she likes running as quickly possible ! ! ! Remembers you the video with the swallows.
All the best, Charlotte

Hi there Colette, thanks so much for the comments, if he lives long enough to go to a show I do hope that we will use all four legs and be able to stand as well as Aleks has got him, me I can't keep three of his legs on the ground at one time, little darling. Thanks again Dee and the gang

Hi Colette,
just saw your comment to Henk - and I agree I would love to hear abou Nimbus and see photographs. I seem to come across his name often when looking at pedigrees of working dogs. I'm not sure but is he also behind Ostraby Athos (if I recollect the name correctly)?
greetings from sunny but cold Switzerland

Good Morning Colette, or should I say Evening!!
Thankyou for your comments on the puppies. They are absolutely stunning and are getting to that lovely age of just starting to play.
Lupin has been a wonderful mother, and has very much enjoyed them as we have.
Hope you and yours are all well.

Hi Colette, just checked photos of my puppies and the one you liked the most was no.2 - so Naughty But Nice Diervilla called Winnia now. You can check her new photos on ES in my album. Winnia made also her show debut last weekend in Junior class (they turned 9 months on Dec.1st) and she became Best Of Breed and one of 6 Best Juniors in Show!!!! So good eye you had and I was lucky to keep her :)

Hello Colette thanks for your comment.
Your question on ft type, they are from USA stock I've seen them racing during horseback trials. The type disappears when crossed with continental European lines.
Yes I agree on Nimbus - there are quite a few awesome Irish setters over there, great variety in bloodlines.

Hello Colette,
I wonder can you tell me anything about Porschet Wind in the Willows (Marksway Marquis x Porschet Andiamo). Are there working lines behind Andiamo? I could not find any further details.
Could not find any photographs of Nimbus either...
I'm off to Kelso and Reeth first weekend of March:-))

Are you entered for Boston tomorrow? I have decided not to risk going, I think it would be foolish, as more bad weather has been forecast, I think they should have cancelled the show, take care if you go x

Jan 7, 2010
Linda Baldry

We made the right decision Colette, staying nice and warm at home, although I will be going into work later this afternoon, only because it is within walking distance from my house..........Boston are going to take some stick for their foolishness, have you looked at the results that have been posted so far on Fosse data ...........loads of absentees - and loads of idiots who decided they would still go............take care x

Jan 8, 2010

Barbara has posted the results but you get them from Fosse Data home page.

Hi Colette,
Thank you for your comment ! I would like that my dog stand up with his head naturally high, but it's not easy at all ! he is a little lazy. I should practice in front of a miror, it will help me. For sure, I see the difference, and you mean. It's easier to understand than to do it.
I'm sorry with my bad photos. I will try to improve before his first show.

Hi Colette hope you are well. I just can't help myself downloading daft photos of Ruby. Isn't it amazing that once you own an Irish setter how obsessed you become! My husband is unbelievable. He is absolutely smitten with Ruby! x

Hi Colette, I noticed a comment of yours that you own Rua Henri. I was researching a pedigree a little while ago which had Rua Henri as the sire. Do you have photos of him on your page?

HI Colette, thanks for the information on Rua Henri. I did a search and also found some that Camilla has posted up on ES too. He is a lovely boy! cheers Cheryl

Maria Mcgann

Hi Colette I hope I've found the right person, I think we bought a setter from you in 1998 you were then in Swanley in Kent, his name was Jester Jones born on April fools day hence the name. His sire was Porschet Paprika and his dam was Rua Barley Sugar. He sadly passed away in November 2009 and brought the most joy to us in his 11 years. My sister is now looking to get a setter and would love to have one from the same lineage as he was so special to all of us. I hope to hear from you soon, kind regards Maria Mcgann.

Mar 29, 2011
Maria Mcgann

Hi Colette i'm so pleased to have found you, yes please send me a message with regards to getting another setter, as i said he brought us so much joy and was a massive part of our family, we were devastated when he passed on. Look forward to talking some more, many thanks Maria.

Morning Colette,
I was wondering if you could give me some information on training for field trials and where I would start ? It is something I have been thinking about or a while and would really like to try training one of my dogs .

Hello Colette, nice to meet you too!

Yes I work my two boys, although I am still rather new to it all since they are my first two Gordons and working setters. I am hoping to be able to trial the older one sometime soon and so far we have been to training and shooting days in the Scottish Borders and I've been able to train a bit on the Cromlix estate and the moors up there with a gundog trainer - the photo on the heather was taken on one of the shooting days. He pointed three grouse and two pheasants there but the guns missed them ;-)

I hadn't realised you'd had a Gordon too ... winning the novice stake must have been wonderful!
Maybe see you at a trial sometime... Good luck with your young pointer bitch and Irish!
