Hi, Im zoe, Im from Northern Ireland. I have 1 setter, Rufus. Words cant describe him, hes mad. So full of fun & energy ALL the time... 1 of a kind. He is just a family pet that was given to us as a present. He has melted my heart since the day & hour i brought him home. He just amazes me with something different everyday :)
Hi Zoe!! Thanks for the nice comments on Bailey at Belfast show!! I bred Bailey myself, here, down south;o)) and he is owned by a friend of mine, Sheila Hughes(also on this site)
Yes Zoe we have a pup on the way!! She will be coming to live with us in mid November! Can't wait to have a pup again!!! Where did you get Rufus from? Was he from Northern Ireland?
Our Gypsy was from Kilkeel and our new pup is going to be from Armagh. They definitely are characters! You haven't had a dog until you've had a red setter!!!
Hi Zoe thank you for the lovely comments on my girls they are not sisters Shannon was 3 on the 30th of July she is from Dublin i thought Rufus was a bit like her then Sophie is almost 7 months she is from Armagh
Hi Zoe thanks for your nice comments on Finlays photos I think he's a sweetheart as he's not well i cherrish every day with him as i dont know how long i'll have him, the vet told me on 15th december he only had about 6weeks now they are glad to be proved wrong, Rufus looks a lovely boy, you do take some funny photos of him there nice like that last one him peeping over car seat, wish i knew how to get photos on here have to wait for my daughter to do it, but she never seems to have time (",)
Finlay has a bone tumor in his leg which is why vet only gave him 6weeks, me and vet thought he had sprained his leg jumping around but when it didn't seem better after 2weeks they x-rayed his leg and that when they discovered the tumor, as you can imagine it was a big shock because he was so young, it was the day after he was 2years old
Hi Zoe, he's great i just try to be careful he doesn't jump around to much but you know what there like they never sit still, first vet wanted to amputate leg in december said might give him couple of extra months but i couldn't do it to him, i'm glad i didn't as it's been over 8months now and he seems fine just hope he stays like that (",)
