Our mixture is "homemade" ;)) Our already passed englishsetter male thought that he would love to mate with our irishsetter bitch :)). We were not so happy at first and the pregnancy went under termination by a medicine that did not work :). All thank to that our mixedsetter is by far the best working/hunting dog ever and he has been judged by FT-judges as well(unofficial). And every hunter would want one like him. He is 8 and a half years old already but still going strong!
Hi there Rhona, nice to hear from you again. How are you and your family??
I have been busy this week so far, getting the girls ready for Crufts and looking after my grandchildren, the girls need their coats preparing with oil and massage, they love all that, then there is the trimming etc. they hate all that. I seem to have come down with a cold so really don't feel like doing anything. Have had to wash all the quilts in the back of the car, so my house is like a Chinese laundry...quilts hanging on the back of every door in the house, still got to clean the car, inside and out, and it (the car) broke down at the end of last week, so now I cant go and spend any money at the stalls at Crufts, the car cost too much. Lets hope that the car can get us there, the AA can get us back, if all else fails.
Speak soon Dee and the girls
As far as the cold and the washing, they will both disappear with time, the washing has already gone the cold will take a wee bit longer, (these things do when you get to my age)
How is your wee girl?? growing very fast I would think?? you said at one point that you might like to go to some shows, locally. Do you have a ringcraft class anywhere near to where you live, if you don't know perhaps the local library will give you the name and address of someone who will be able to help you, that is the best place to start, you can usually get 'schedules' for the forthcoming show there, give it a try.
Chloe, (she moves my dogs for me, and sometimes shows them), she is a member of the YKC which is for young people in the Kennel Club, she has just won an art competition with the YKC and her picture will be displayed at Crufts, I am so proud of her, do you do anything like drawing/painting??
Dee and the girls
Try and get some of your drawings on the site, I presume that you have drawn some of your babies???? I am sure that we would all love to see them..
The show at Kelso is a Championship show, it is the Border Union Show.. As I said try and get to a Ringcraft Class and get you and her used to the hustle and bustle of a show, it is so different from everyday things...
I am sure that Chloe will be thrilled to know that you are happy for her...
Speak soon
Dee and the girls
Hi Rhona
Thank you for the nice compliments...we do love our boy and he is a real sweetheart. I have a question....is your last name Skene? because mine is!!!
Wouldn't that be funny...we don't know that many other Skenes (only when we went to Scotland...Aberdeenshire....there are loads of them there!!)
Your lil lucy is just precious, where is she from??
Great Idea,
Hope that you get something, you will find it great fun with like-minded people, try at the Library firs, they usually have knowledge of everything that is going on in the area...
Good luck
Dee and the girls
Hey there girl, we're all good at my house. Having fun with Nola. My own kids are having a hard time accepting her but It's coming along. By the way, Jona Cash is a scammer. I got an email about it the other day by the guy that started this website. Hope everything's all right with you and yours.
Hi There ,
Your new puppy looks very sweet and I am sure you will enjoy training and her or will she be training you ! as these Red and Whites are very clever don't you think.
Regards Chris
Hey, how's it going? You know I got another foster dog Nola? Well, I barely had her a month and now she's gone! Someone adopted her. Now I've got another Gordon Setter coming soon and she's 10 years old. It's like Christmas all over again! Tell me things are in Scotland....and by the way, it's been raining here for about 19 days straight and I feel like I'm in Scotland!!
Hi ,
I am glad the training is going well , I have found that my Red &White boy is more responsive to training than the other Setters I have owned ( English and Irish ) and is pretty obediant unless we are in Pheasant country ! keep up the good work !!
Regards Chris
Well, I'm supposed to go pick up my new foster child today but there is a mixup with the communication so I'm not going just yet. It finally stopped raining after yesterday morning so I can some outside work done today. yesterday I went to a renaissanice festival that I go to every year and it was great! It gets better every year. one of these years I'm gonna make a costume and dress up for it. Is your school out for the summer soon? I teach high school here and we just have a couple days left. HOOOOOORAYYYYYY!!!!!!
Sorry it's so hot over there. We've had great weather lately, except for all the rain. Cool breezes and about 76 degrees. You probably use celcius?? I've been out of school a couple weeks now and it's great! I have so many things to do around the house it's kinda like I'm not on vacation at all. My kids are doing great. I actually have already shipped Nola to someone in West Virginia, if you know where that is. I have another Gordon Setter now and her name is Roxy. She's very nice. When you say it's almost too hot, just how hot is that? I love it when it's really hot. I guess you don't. We go back to school in August as well. Probably the second week. Wish it wasn't so soon. Talk to you later.
Hi Rhona
somebody said you were on here. How is Lucy? I have two red and whites and 3 Gordons and used to live in Clovenfords. I envy you the big park in Gala. I had plenty of good walks but I liked meeting people and other dogs in the park.
Hi Rhona
tell me about mischevious. I now have a little girl red and white and at 15 months she is a wild child!! She makes Fergal's life interesting!
There isnt a height standard for red and whites in UK. It doesnt mention it in the "breed standard" but she should be around twenty to twenty one inches at the shoulder. Her sister in Aberdeenshire is also quite small.
I think some of the working bitches are smaller than the ones for showing.
She looks nice though. So does your Bruce.
Fergal and Norna are just back from a show in Ireland. both did well
Happy Easter!!
Will put a couple of pics on my page!
