I am French and live in Great Britain. I have owned and exhibited Irish Setters since 1982. My affix with the Kennel Club is Anacardium and I have a small breeding kennel based on Hartsbourne/Brackenfield lines. I have now moved back to France in Burgundy.
Why are you applying for membership?
A. I am a human wanting to contribute to the community
Im also new to this site and not really sure how to use it ! Your dogs definitely have a Brackenfield look.My original dogs where Brackenfield as my mother also had her breeding based on Brackenfield stock. Have a look on my page,mostly it has red and white setters but I will get some more photos on when I get the hang of it all. love the photo of your Irish running free.!
thanks for welcoming me :)) ... I'm sure I'll like it here and am looking forward to read a lot about setters :) ... btw ... pics are on my page now ;)
Thank you am looking forward to speaking with other setter people. I have looked around the site and it seems like a great place to begin, as well I have questions about setters.
Hi Catherine, Thank you for commenting on my blog for Beau, Hammer and Rose. I gave Hobson and Misty your cuddles and they said to say: Thank you very much!! Take care and keep well. Susan xxx
Hi Catherine, I genuinely thought the snow photo was of Venus with you. Your daughter is lucky she looks like her mum. Yes, I agree with the other comments that your photo would look great in a fashion magazine. Susan xxx
Hi Catherine!! I dont know the KC very well, but I do remember reading somewhere that their new code of conduct involved members(especially breeders/judges?)behaving properly on the internet(social media sites)? Correct me if I'm wrong? I think any breeder/judge causing trouble here or on FB should be more careful what they say or do?
Hi Catherine, Thank you for all your comments on my blogs for Annie and Hobson and my photos. I hope you and your family are all keeping well. Love from Susan, Hobson and Misty xxx
Dear Catherine, I was looking at your photos your propertymis so nice looking even in the winter. I live in florida in the US so I don't get to see snow any more. Your setters are so pretty .I would love to have at least 2 setters. I just lost my rescue boy in april 5 th at the age of 14 an half. I miss him so much.It was great looking at your pictures. thanks terrie stauffer
Carolyn every time I think of my beloved boy Radley I go to the setter web and look at all the setters that people all over the love and this makes me feel a little better. You have such nice looking setters.
Hi Catherine,seen your reply thanks,he he goes regularly for hydrotherapy he loves it and he is on glucosamine,he is 12 year old actually looks like one of yours with a white face
And he goes to the vet regularly he diagnosed him with really bad arthritis and prescribed tramadol and meloxidyl ,due to go back but really scared he might want to put him to sleep
Hi Catherine
Thanks for the reply,he's from Bardonhill they are good breeders just his age I think! He is 12 so is Briagh and Charlie and Ginger are 6 so I have 4 setters,the best dogs in the world they are all mad but then maybe that was me,need to find a farmhouse somewhere to rent it would make their day!

Hi Catherine, Thank you for your well wishes for Misty. It has been a terrible time, but thankfully, Misty has survived and my boy, Hobson continues to defy the odds.
I hope all your Red children are doing well. I love the photos you have taken of your puppies as they are growing. Take care, Susan, Hobson and Misty xxx
