Since several years Irish Setters have been part of my life. The love and complicity that we share has been transformed into a true passion.
First Chickadee makes her entry into my life, she was supposed to be a dog, but destiny decided otherwise, and it was not such a bad thing after all, pure joy of which I didn't quite realise the enormity. With her came the discovery of the dog world: shows, obedience and even hunting. The show virus was quickly acquired as at her first show Chickadee was best puppy in show. Enough to say that I didn't have to be pushed into becoming passionately addicted. I have enjoyed some great moments at the shows with Chickadee. In 2006, she was Europasiegerin at Dortmund, consecreted best bitch in Belgium by the Belgian Irish Setter club and third best bitch in Holland. Beginning of 2007 she became German Champion.
The 4th April she had her first pups in the kennel where she was born and one of her daughters Girly Girl came to live with us. Girly don't needs to prove her worth in the show ring. She is not only already a German Champion but also Belgian Junior Winner 08, Dutch Junior champion and in 2008 she won Best in Show at the Junior Day of the Belgian Irish Setter Club at just 17months with an entry of some 80 junior Irish. Lately at Bath at only 25 months show in England she wins her entry into the English Kennel Club Studbook and a life qualification for Crufts, a great achievement which can only make me even more proud of choosing Girly.
26.05.2010 My dream come true, my first litter and the 2nd for Chickadee ! She give birth to 12 puppies (10 boys & 2 girls). From this litter a boy stayed with us, he is named "Scott" Riverwood Jungle Rock" He is the son of Multi & Int Sh Ch Sametsuz Sunset. He has already did a great impression on show by winning a lovely 3th best baby in show and 5th best baby in show . . . he just grow up like I want, the future will tell us if I have reason to believe in him ! ! ! Way to go Scott . . .
Thank you so much for your comment on Lína, her brother is a magnific dog as he has documented and we wish you all the best. Hope to see you at Crufts 2011
Thx!!! I was and am very proud of my boy. Darcy did very well. Even do i am not very good in handling a dog on the right (i am left, so holding his head with my right hand is very strange to me ;-)) , Darcy was very gentle for me. So with these new rules i have to practice...new challenge!! Hope to see you soon. Crufts?
Thank you for your comment. I am just in a dream at the moment and hoping that I will wake soon and it was all wrong...but unfortunately I am not and it isn't wrong...can't imagine what I would do but leaving my dogs behind....don't think that I could do it...so horrible to think how she must be feeling abandoned in a strange place with over 100 other dogs...I just hope that she survives long enough to be repatriated...fingers crossed, this is all I can do..thank you again for your support...Dee and the gang
Hi Charlotte I watched your video of swimming lessons and then some of your other ones I just love the video with the sound track my sunshine what a stunning dog with the most gorgeous expression breath taking
Comme vous pouvez le remarquer, j'ai tout de suite rectifier son nom...
C'est une personne de la SCC qui m'a dit qu'il fallait prendre le nom de la mère pour ma chienne Sanka, la mère étant une MCBirdy, j'ai cru bien faire!!
Le mal est réparé... et je me suis deja excusé auprès du propriétaire du nom MCBirdy.
Ne nous sommes pas deja vu a Bourg en Bresse en 2009?
Thanks Charlotte!! I have got a good camera, but i am a terrible photographer....so my husband takes the pictures, fortunaly for me :-). And Darcy respons good on him...so there's the result! Hope to see you soon! Have a nice christmas and a great 2012!

Bonjour Charlotte,
Merci infiniment, en effet, c'est bien ICY BREEZE JAY Slovak Base ! Hier soir, mes yeux ont du se croiser en lisant le catalogue.
Je regrette n'avoir aucune photo de Scott ... et des femelles.
Amicalement.
