- About Me:
- I am a third generation Irish fancier - for my Granddad and Dad there has never been another breed of family hunting dog. When I was just three years old my father went to the SPCA to get a "small dog" for the family and came home with a beautiful Irish Setter who was the victim of a divorce. She was registered as Lady Barbara of Shannon. Wasn't Barbie a fitting name for a little girl's Irish? Barbie was with us for nearly 16 years and was not only our family's companion but my father's hunting dog as well. As an adult I did dabble in Belgian Tervuren for a few years before returning to my "roots" so to speak.
I farm in British Columbia. In addition to the dogs, I have a Paso Fino, a Pervuvian X Pso and a Peruvian Paso. I am active in conformation, field events and obedience trials with my Irish Setters, and am really striving to produce a line of Irish that is first and foremost a great family dog and is also equally at home in the show ring or the field.

Pups, Meg, Jack and Hope

Yesterday we ran Meg and the young pups off of horseback. Meg is nearly a year old but since life has been so busy, I've only had her out twice before. She was fabulous! Independant and going the right places and also handled and turned when I asked her to. I am sooo pleased with her. The pups were put out in twos with older pups and they also ran really well. I was only slightly hurt that they did not really NEED me! LOL! They all came when called at the end though, and they really…

December 27th, 2010 my father passed suddenly after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It was a very sad time for us as a family, but we did have a wake for him where family and friends had a good time remembering this honourable gentleman. Denis Lowry Russell instilled in me my love of Irish Setters making me a third generation Irish fancier. We had a slide show for Dad showing him with his Irish Kelly when Dad was a boy.
I am currently on the road. I went to Phoenix with…

Hello Everybody! There are many changes at Russell Irish Setters currently. Ken and I are splitting up, so much of my time has been spent dividing belongings and dealing with legal issues. Prior to the decision to part ways I had planned a litter and they arrived 3 weeks ago just to liven things up!
It is a lovely litter of 13!!! They are by Chukarhill Burn Notice out of Can Ch Russell's Grapevine. Tate is a dog that has impressed me from day one. He is an absolute sweety and…

Ken helped me take a few photos yesterday so that I had photos of Candy and Rhonnan on my website. This is the one he took of Saeterelva's Candy for Russell's and next is Russell's Kelly Green - Rhonnan, the dog I got back from the lady I sold him to. He had terrible flease when I got him back, but he is doing well now and looking for a new home.
It was the first day we'd done bird… Continue

I live in Australia and I don't do field work with my dogs (we live too far away from the nearest training/trialling area and with work and family commitments,,) but I am extremely interested in the need worldwide to breed healthy strong IS who don't look extreme in either show or field types.
