Lois McCullough's Comments

Welcome Aboard, Lois. I was born in Kent and live in Western Australia! Whereabouts do your family live?

Thanks for your comments about Daisy, she is missed here everyday. Nice to see a photo of Micawber on his birthday, his white on his chest seems to have grown! Lovely to see him with his new friend. You can see pictures of his mum Barley and sister Lily on here. His Dad's on here too under Madalaine Dickson.

Sorry its Madalaine Anthony!

Hi Lois, Welcome from down under! I live in Mackay on the Central/North Coast of Queensland. Do you travel around much when you come over for holidays? cheers, Cheryl

Hi thanks for your message Micawber looks a lovely boy, it's nice to see photo's.
Guinness is a huge boy but a big softie, it took him till he was 3 to get his coat and start filling out.
He has a championship show on sunday, fingers crossed, he is all groomed and looking very handsome
plenty of photo's on here of him
Regards
Maddy

Hi Lois, you probably has been more of NSW than I have. Mackay is about 2000kms North of Sydney. Yes, I agree, I love the pups, but just can't wait for them to be mature well behaved adults. Clancy is 2 next weekend and is still such a character and loves to play, so Bridget who is 5 months next week just loves having him as a playmate. They are such a wonderful breed... can't imagine life without them.

Hi, you have two lovely Irish setters and I looked at your website. Your cottage is really charming, a nice place to stay.

Hi Lois.
We are just outside of Maidstone.
What a small world. Would be great to meet up sometime and flood the area with Red!!!
Take Care

Thanks for the offer of coffee Lois, will keep it in mind. What breeding are your Irish? Hope you enjoy this site, certainly a real time waster !!!! but fun too.

Hi Lois, nice to hear the breeding of your dogs, I know Chris Heron very well, and of course I have seen Concept and Checkmate regularly at shows, I also knew Eileen Kennett very well (Gaybrons) Maybe we will meet up one day, who knows, take care, regards Linda.

Hi Lois
Your two look totally contented with life. They look a lovely pair are they mischevious like my girl is.

Hi Lois, Hamilton and Micawber

Thank you for your kind message.Its a great site.

Do you have a connection to Concept & Checkmate - Caskeys?

kind regards Corinne, Ryan & Morgan

Hi Lois

Small world ......I have Caskeys Cheerleader (Ryan) - brother to Hamilton, Concept and Checkmate. Morgan is Edentop Joshua James - one of Concepts puppies - Dam Caskeys Vogue.
Didn't show Ryan - on reflection should have as he is a fabulous boy. I did show Morgan for a while but he is not suited to the ring, although he still go to RC class each week because he loves going.

Morgan shares ancestry with Wellington - not sure if you still have him from your message?

Hi Lois

I am so, so sorry to hear that you lost Wellington so suddenly to an undetected illness and so young. You must have been absolutely devastated. – my heart goes out to you.

Do you still keep in touch with any of his litter mates? I have met one of Morgan’s litter mates at a show and Val with Jaz a couple of years ago now.

My two pull so I use Gencon collar leads for M&R – kinder than halties.

Your photo of Wellington by the hedge is a double take of Morgan – so alike.

Corinne

Hi Lois

I think you would lke the Gencon collar lead - it's a figure of 8 and slips over and you can adjust it - I have had no problems with it moving up their faces - it can also be used as a slip lead too.

I don't do the shows anymore, Morgan (and I) do not enjoy the show scene. I keep up to date via the Irish Setter show website - including Christine's new girl Fabulous FeeBee and some IS owners I know. I assume all Christine's puppies went very quickly.....

Hi Lois

Yes it is great to talk to you and our related boys !

Henna - what is her line - do you know?
I did speak to Christine a while back now and she was going to have puppies when she returned from OZ, I assume these are them? Gosh how did she choose who had the three remaining puppies after her choice, from her list of 7 - not an easy decision I am sure.

Welcome on "ONLY TWO"!

Dear Lois, thanks for words of solace, pain and sadness are unspeakable, it's a big loss for me and my family. Once again, thank you

Thankyou Lois for your beautiful words,

I can see you are very special & kind.  It was comforting to read others feelings that have gone through the same.  I also have my other girl thanks God she is 14yrs 1mth, but Scarlett was one of those 'special ones'.  I was so priveledged to have her & be able to look after her.  It was lovely to visit your page & see your pics.

Di & Mahogany 

Thank you and I'm sure I shall.  I'm thinking of getting another puppy soon so I'm sure I'll find all the help I may need!
