A big big 'THANK YOU' for Luxemburg!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all those people - old and new friends - who welcomed me so warmly in Luxemburg, who talked to me, gave me a smile or a hug, who let me cry on their shoulders, who gave me a glass of wine (or two) to calm down my nerves :-), who congratulated and shared my joy of Danka's win. Thanks for the presents and photos as well. Thanks also for the mails and messages and all those "crossed fingers" at home and other parts of the world. It means a lot to me! And a… Continue

Snow& sun stamp spring setter EC

Snow, sun, shower of hails and super setters stamped the European championship for working Irish setters in Sarry, France on Monday. Eventually weather gods seemed to favor this setter event in Spring. Luckily it was mostly the sun being a main actor in scenes.

The championship was won by French dog Urtis de la Chaume Rigault, owned by Pernin, trialed by well known professional trainer Daniel Munini. Another dog trialed by the same trainer,… Continue

First Junior CAC for Girly Girl !

Girly Girl 11.5 months CACIB Dog Show Leeuwarden (NL)

One must be truly passioned to get up at the ghastly hour of 3.30am and to travel 380 kms in the snow.

But the reward was well worth it, in the end.

The judge was none other than Mrs Patsy Hollings, the Crufts gundog group judge of this year.

Girly was absolutely splendid in the ring, didn't put a paw wrong - on this Easter Monday.

Which led to the super result… Continue

First time on a FIELD TRIAL

After 2 days of excessive training in Lohmann's fields with lots of wild partridges, many many hares and several pheasants, I decided to start a very first time on a FIELD TRIAL. Early Easter saturday saw us at the meeting point of the English Setter Club Germany's spring trial in East Germany.

My 8,5 months old LOHMANN'S ORTRUN (Chili) started in INTERNATIONAL DERBY for dogs up to 24 months. We came home with a VERY GOOD, 14 points and best Derby dog of the group !…
