Portia was the first Irish I owned in 1975, however grew up with Joanmas Lollipop who we got in 1964.I regularly showed my mothers dogs from 1972.
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.
Hi Colette, Am still a bit raw on loosing our Shannon. Here is some of his line of breeding. I used to show him and Nina when in England. Breeder was Mary Price of Slad. Nr. Stroud. Shannon's kennel name was SEVERNVALE BLAZEAWAY; Sire; Clonageera Kieran; Dam; Severnvale It's My Delight: 2 r. cc. Grandparents. Sire; ShCh. Starchelle Chicago Bear. " BIS Crufts.1995 " Dam. ShCh. Clonageera Stella. Sire; ShCh.Tatterslee Special Effect: Dam; Severnvale Sheer Delight. Regards from Pam Sawyer.
