Summertime Lady shines in Spring

[Henk ten Klooster]

Summertime Lady "shines" in Spring.

She won her first qualification in field trials (very good) last sunday in Sinsheim. This young Irish import impressed not only because of her stylish points but as well for looks on the trials in the village near Heidelberg, organized by the English setter club Deutschland. Her next trial this season is in the last weekend of April in Bad Tennstadt, Thuringen.

Summertime Lady joined us as a pup when school was out for summer 2011, a doggy gift for finishing a phase in a study literature, drama and poetry at Saxion University. Because Irish setters are all of that in one, the choice for a red setter born not far from the statue for Cuchulain in Louth seemed right. Preceding this, students got lessons in limericks.

A new school is out for summer setter is in the making, sired by Lady's only litterbrother in Kentucky while the dam is a granddaughter of my Redwing White Lightning and Echlin O'Conloch, that way retrieving a family history going back to times of Derrycarne Harp (Kells) who's brother is in Lady's pedigree.
