I have two English Setters at the moment and one Irish Red Setter
How long have you owned Irish Setters?
About 10 years.
About Me:
Was the owner of a beautiful male Irish Setter named Fritz many years ago but sadly he is no longer with me. At the moment I'm the very proud owner of two beautiful English Setters and have recently added a new little 'Red' man to the family.
My Boys :
Legolas (10) born 04/04/2002 in Co.Longford, mother named Heather ~ not registered and never been shown, from working lines.
Theoden (Michelle's boy) (7) born 07/07/2004 in Lodgewood, Ferns, Co. Wexford.
Sire: Capparoe Prancer
Dam: Blackstairs Megan (both working lines)
I used to show Theoden at local shows around Wexford & Wicklow during the Summer months, it was always good fun !
Rohan (Glennara Sheherezade) (1) born 17/03/2011 in Hampshire U.K.
Sire: SH Ch Suteresett Milky Way With Scarletti JW
Dam: Sh Ch Glennara Lehana JW Sh CM
Hi Michelle thank you for the birthday wishes when you get to my age it is better to forget
but i did have a nice walk with the girls the weather was so nice today i hear we are in for a heat wave this week how is my favourite boy doing hope all is well with him
Hi Michelle glad all is well with you and the boys Shannon and Sophie are doing well like Rohan she is getting big she loves her food far better than Shannon ever was and as you saw
Hi Michelle Rohan is very beautiful he looks big, Sophie is about 2 inches smaller than Shannon but she might be still growing they are both doing well hows my boy Legolas doing hope he is much better
Michelle so very sorry to hear about Connor, no doubt your heart is raw. Hope the nice memories you have gathered during all these years will help you to face his departure. My heart and thoughts are with you.
Thanks a lot, Michelle! Also for your compliment on Joy's great form - walking is a very healthy sport and we are trying to do 8-10km every day - in very bad weather about 5km - so for a hike, we just have to double or tripple the distance. It is no warrant for long life but those dogs I see in our area, that are old and still very fit, sure did a lot of walking and running. How's Legolas these days? Rohan sure looks great! All the best, C & J xxx
Hi Michelle so nice to hear from you ,yes we did get hail stones here as well miss Sophie was out trying to catch them .The year has went so fast Rohan is so beautiful you must be really proud of him hope the rest of your boys are keeping well .
Hi Michelle, thanks for your comments, we are keeping every thing crossed he is such a lovely boy it just seems so unfair as he's so young, even the vet couldn't believe it, now his fur has grown back you wouldn't know he was ill, I see you live in Wexford i have my brother and his family not to far from you in Kilkenny i love going over to visit, both my parents came from Dublin so i'm no stranger to Ireland (",)
Hi Michelle, hope you do well at the dog show in Kilkenny when you go, i go over at least once a year to see my brother sister in law and there two girls Caoimhe & Muirann,not sure i'll make it this summer as i dont want to be away from Finlay (",)
Hi Michelle, Finlay and I are well thanks keepimg fingers crossed Finlay stays well for a long time. I must just of missed a couple of your photos, i'm sure Rohan loves the limelight like all Reds, your lucky if you have some sun it only stopped raining here for couple hours on monday it's so cold too, hope it's good for the show, is that the one in Kilkenny? good luck and let me know how you get on (",)
Hi Michelle, pleased to hear Rohan did well you must be really pleased with him, i'd like to go to a dog show just to see what goes on must try and find a local one, just to look not to show, Finlay is keeping well at moment you wouldn't think there was anything wrong he's just himself mad as ever, congratulations again. Ellen & Finlay (",)
Hi Michelle, nice to hear from you, sorry to hear about Ro they will try and eat anything, Finlay also tries to eat stones some i've managed to get from him but if he's eaten any they've caused no problems, he's still keeping well but he's started barking at other dogs alot and thats not like him, i took him to local photo shop other week they were doing mini shoots but not usually with dog photos rearly nice. Hope the Kilkenny show goes well, dont think i'll be visiting Kilkenny this summer i dont want to leave Finlay. Let me know how you get on at the show and how Ro is getting on after his op,take care hugs to the dogs, Ellen&Finlay xxx
Thanks Michelle for my birthday wishes, dont rearly like being another year older think i'll start deducting years now instead of adding, is there something on this site that lets you know when it's someones birthday?
Well done for Rohan for winning his junior class in Kilkenny, and good luck for tomorrow, thanks for letting me know where to find birthdays i knew they must be somewhere, let me know how he gets on tomorrow (",)
Hi Michelle another good day for Ro, yes i can see a sat nav would be very handy, i've had a few nice days at Tramore when i've been over, my girls making my brother take them on the rides at the fair, Finlay has nice long ears could do with a bit of a tidy but i've no need to keep them short, you should see his tail i've never seen such long feathering my other boys wern't so long, did you see the new photos i put on? he's keeping well at moment i just keep hoping for a miracle, when is your next show?
Hi Michelle how are you keeping glad to hear Rohan is doing well at the shows .
hope the rest of the boys are well . The weather is dreadful I am so sick of getting wet not that it makes any difference to Sophie she always comes home wet with going into the lake .
Hi Michelle, I'm nearly late for your Birthday - but not yet!! So wishing you all the best for the upcoming year, good health and many joyful moments with your family and friends, the furry one's included of course :-)). Are you looking foreward to the Hobbit? Or is it already in the cinema at your place? Have a nice time, C & J xxx
