Hi Gayle.  Have just seen that you are new here & wanted to say 'Welcome'.  I'm also from Melbourne & have an Irish & an English Setter.  My beautiful Irish girl is now 11 years, & my English girl is just one year.   We lost our first English Setter just on two years ago now.  She was the reason I love the English breed so much.  I have always been torn though & could never decide which breed I wanted most, so had to have both. 

My first English girl was a Landmark dog.  I am not sure but am thinking that perhaps you might have had my Megg's litter sister, Ch. Landmark Louisianna.(sp)..  If so, what a small world. 

Welcome to Exclusively Setters.  This is a fun group with lots of wonderful photo's & great people.  Hope you enjoy it here.

Hi Gayle,

Yes, I think we did meet at Mornington.  Those were fun days.  We didn't show Megg but she did do obedience & was very good at it, until one day she decided that it wasn't for her anymore (lol). I am a devil for punishment though & after having Tess for a year & a half on her own, we decided to get another English girl.   Tess & Megg were baby puppies together & I was sure Tess would love another pup but I couldn't have been more wrong.  She didn't like or want her new sister.  Luckily, after a couple of months, it all worked out & now they are great friends.  Not like with Megg, but still friends, so I am happy with that.  Grace is a real sweetheart & loves Tess to bits. Must admit though, that having a new pup after 10 years is a bit of a shock to the system (lol). 

 

Will look forward to seeing some pics. of your lovely family. 

 

Lynn, Tess & Grace.
