- About Me:
- I'm a dentist in Phoenix, Arizona. I've been out of Irish Setters for 30+ years and only recently acquired Am Can Ch Captiva's Still Got It. She has re-ignited my interest in the breed, in breeding and the show ring. With my family all grown, I now have the time and finances to pursue this interest.

Nice photos of your girl
Saw your messages on the chat room Missed a chat by a few hours
Do you intend on breeding
Cheers Rick
Thanks for the reply. Wife went to the coast during school holidays with Connie (grand-daughter). She also took Youngin and the poodle not to mention the good laptop. We are in North Queenland which is about 1800 miles from Melbourne.We are showing new poodle there next years National and are getting a setter pup from there shortly. We have a show the weekend after next at Rockhampton.
Really like your girl and looks like she will knock their socks off when she matures. They are very nice photos
Cheers Rick
I hope you really enjoyed nice sunday with your family and the dog. Is very nice to have a trip around the coutry side and enjoy the summer. I would suggest the dog makes it nicer. Doesn´t it??? Take care man.
Bye.
Heard you bought pup by Hugo. If so congratulations, he is a beautiful dog and will go well with any bloodlines as he has so much to offer not only overall quality but a great temperment and nature. You must be excited.
Cheers Rick
PS Youngin has a small black spot on his toungue I think it just pigmentation as they have dark eyes and noses or should have.
Will keep in contact. Excited for you as there is always great hope with new puppies. Wish you all the best with him.
Cheers Rick
Its winter over here and its the best time of year from April through to October then it starts getting hot. Summer temps are usually above 40C for Dec - March if its not raining and then its still mid 30'sC and very humid. Air con is a must.We and the dogs are not far away from it.
Cheers Rick
Thanks so much for all your help, it is so nice that there are still some on here that are prepared to help, This is what this site is all about, help not nastiness, And you have epitomized the former, I for one am so grateful, Thanks again Dee and the gang
ps. I will try and keep everyone updated as to how she goes, you never know it may help others, The message is that you should always keep and eye inside your dogs mouths..
