This story was told to me in the beginning of the 70;s by Mrs Lupton, the breeder of Labradors (and later setters) = Owner of the Dorrfiels kennels.

The local milkman was spanish and owned an irish setter that he had bought at the Wendover kennel. This dog used to accompany him on his daily milkrounds (hell this was the 60´s and nobody was allergic to dogs). Now the spanish milkman was going to return to Spain but seemed for some reason unable to take his dog with him. The dog had never… Continue

In Kerry Blue-special shows it´s a class that you don´t have to trim/cut your dog. It´s the "Come as you are- class". I think it could be a good idea for IRS-clubs to have the same. Or a special class for us living without bath-class. Or special class for those who only let your dogs bath in Eastern Sea-class...

Because now the shows popping up again - and we don´t have a bathroom yet!!! Interesting problem and mybe not many will be in "Dirty Dog Class" - so we got a small chanse to…

First I tought I´ve been out of all fun and this great community for a long time - but how nice it is to have this kind of social network for Irish Setter Lovers! Noticed that this list has been up and running no longer than one month maybe? What a lovely way to share a life and announce the news and meet people with same passion... <3

This past Sunday, August 5, 2007, the Irish Setter Club of

Milwaukee held its 4th annual Fun Day in our back yard. My

husband Joe and I welcomed a bevy of Irish setters, two Gordons, and a

13 inch beagle to our home. We have a fenced 1/2 acre yard in the

suburbs. As the day was quite warm and sunny we had 3 doggie

pools out for the furkids which proved quite popular. A basket of

balls and frisbees helped to amuse our setter friends.

The first excitement of the… Continue

When Chester first arrived here, he was the 3rd dog in and at that point, taking the dogs for a walk was very difficult. I could drive them to the off-leash dog park and let them run, but 3 large dogs in the back of my little car means little fights would often occur in the crowded back seat. So, luckily I have a large back yard and they would put quite a few miles racing around. Unfortunately, Chester never did learn to walk on leash this way though.

This year, we were down to 2 dogs…

Hello everybody, congrats to all the wins during the weekend. We also had a very successful day at a show. We spent a long weekend at my parents' house (fun photos will be loaded into my photo album) and surely we also went to the show arranged 40 km from the town they live in. Both my girls were entered. Odin's first show in puppy class was in this town 1997, almost exactly 10 years ago, so I thought it would make a nice "frame" to her show carrier to end it there. And…

OK, now we are all out... on the dark country side!!! I think a lot would say "If you living on a small island in the middle of Eastern Sea - could you be even more isolated... " YES! Absolutely!!! In a cottage from beginning of 1910:th, without TV, shower, washingmashine... You name it!

But what we have is pice. Long light nights and quiet mornings. No neighburs having partys. No ferrys or turists. I allready get use to a slower lifestyle!!! I read instead of watching TV and the…
