A lovely lady from Ossett, West Yorkshire, a Mrs Lennox took me all over with my puppy and it was finally discovered that 'Red' had PRA. I contacted Gamston Kennels to tell them, I was told to send him back and they would chose another one for me. Needless to say I did not. It was only later in life I realised that Gamston Kennels dealt in all types of breeds and was somewhere I now would chose not to go to. I decided to get a playmate for Red and got in touch with Mr & Mrs James of Wendover Kennels, I visited them and bought a beautiful Red Setter 'Sweet Sauce of Wendover' (Kerry). What a difference in the two, breeding really made me realise to chose more wisely in future. After losing Red at the age of 8yrs and Kerry at the age of 14yrs, I got my first Red & White Setter 'Glenoshea Defiant'. I fell in love with this lovely breed as the characteristics were very similar but also so very different from the Red Setter. I must say that all the Red & White Setter people I have met have been lovely and have helped we with my latest Red & White, freely giving advice and encouragement.
