Home for Irish Setter Lovers Around the World
Our ES North Walkers Sirius was chosen the best hunting dog in finnish winter trials in the fjell/lappish mountain
Plus he recieved the 3.prize in open class. He would have recieved the first prize if my husband would´ve shot the grouse down but snowy terrain makes it usually hard to succeed in shooting a white grouse in winter trials...and finnish rules are strict...:(
The judge was from Norway, Roger Halvari from Vadsö. We had 31 dogs starting in the trials. Only 3 setters won prizes. IS Håkoya´s C-Spitfire and IS Finby Chico were prized with the third prize as well. We saw a lot of grouse and every dog had a chance for the birds.
The trials were a succes.

Katarlina,
What some absolutely stunning photos of working Setters in action in the snow. They are all gorgeous.
Did you take these photos yourself.
Congratulations on winning your prizes and look forward to a report on the Trials maybe.

Sorry to hear the grouses flushed without being helped by the dog ! Really bad luck. But great to hear about enough birds on scandinavian mountains though. And big congrats to Sirius success !
regards Christiane

Were you not handling a dog yourself this time? I see you've got your new camera lense...
