- About Me:
- Having admired the breed as a child I bought my first setter in 1978 and was totally hooked.Shane lived until he was 13 by which time I had moved from the town to the country and bought Ben ( Moriabank Mulberry) who enjoyed a very short show career as he hated being groomed. He was joined a year and a half later by Holly (Henthom Enchanting Angel) out of the one and only litter I had from these two I kept two bitches Edenaveys Shannon Belle (Shannon) and Edenaveys Miss Scarlet (Scarlet) both of whom enjoyed their 12th birthday on 15th May 2010. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Shannon on 10th September and Scarlet on 23rd November 2010. We are lucky to have 3 of Shannon's children by Lurgavon Connor, Edenaveys:- March Brown (Harvey), Rogan's Fancy (Rogan), and Holly's Pride (Katie) who had a fabulous year 2009 winning best in show and being placed in groups along the way to gaining her Irish show title in December 2009,she has since added Northern Ireland veteran show champion of the year 2013 and 2014 to her titles and is the first in the breed to become a veteran champion.
In July 2010 we were joined by a little live wire Lurgavon I'm a celebrity at Edenaveys (Abbie), who has started her show career in a promising fashion gaining best puppy in show in May 2011 and her junior title in July 2011.
Our latest additions are Edenaveys the one and only (Barney)and Can this be Magic (Evie) from Katies litter with Lurgavon Ringleader born 17th September 2011.Sadly we lost Evie in November 2014 to a perforated ulcer.
In May 2015 we imported from Sweden Caemgens For Heaven's Sake (Freya) who is settling in well and keeping us all on our toes. - Why are you applying for membership?
