Maggie Smith's Comments

Hi Maggie, thank you for your nice message ! As you, many people told me that "Lucky" should have lots of hair later ... Hope it's right !
Your three girls are really nice, what an impressive pack when you should walk all of them together ... Georgie is really beautiful but I didn't find the site of the breeder "Brabrook" ? are they in England ?
Have a nice day.

Hi Maggie, I hear on the grape vine that we have a new proffesional handler in
Irish setters following in Blakes footsteps. Nice photo of Georgie.
We have a been busy with a litter of pups born yesterday, 8 dogs 3 bitches
from Blakes dog. Brabrook Baboushka x Riverbrue Dionysus j.w.
CONGRATULATIONS on your Driffield win. Tony and Bev

Hi Maggie, if I'm right ? I saw 19 people with Brabrook reference in Exclusively setters, but unfortunately the owners of the Brabrook kennel are not registered anywhere ? that's a pity, this Brabrook kennel seems to have really beautiful dogs. Do they have lots of dogs ?

thanks a lot love the pictures

They are all well and looking good.

Thank you for the lovely comments. I still cant believe what happened. You always read the dog papers thinking I wish I could do that. I was totally stunned, I keep looking at the photo of myself with Frank Kane.

once again thank you for the comments.

Yes, it's what I'm doing often, I admire him, when he sleeps, when he walks he runs in the garden, when he walks in the village, and I can tell you people stop me all the time to tell me how he's beautiful. I can guess how it should be your pleasure with your three girls !

Hi Maggie
Bailey was one of the smaller dogs and we thought one of the quietest. Chose him because of this and the wonderful shape of his head. However he now weighs a ton. He is our 4th Setter and we are used to the house being eaten from the inside out but am have trouble with house training which I didnt expect

Thanks for your comments - well appreciated. Have spoken to Maureen and am also friendly with Gillian Townsend (from whom we got our previous Setters - Follidown). At night he is no problem at all. Left for about 6-7 hours at night and behaves beautifully. I think it is just during the day, he has so much to see and do that he jut simply forgets - each Setter has its own way - think I was lulled into false sense of security as Brandy my first Setter was trained by 10weeks which I realise now was unusual -

Thanks for your comments re Saffy, she doesn't look so lovely at present is covered in mud and other things!!!! she had a really lovely time at the show and seems to like showing off which is good. see you soon

Thank you, Maggie. He certainly thinks he owns the world... even at this moment, when he is jumping around trying to tell me it is time for his run! Unfortunately today the mist has come so there will be no photos... must go...
best wishes,
Susan

Hi Maggie
Thanks for the comment on amy, she was such a character and strong willed, she did not like showing, being trimmed, nails cut and if she could do anythink to make it hard work she would.
I had 3 dogs before her and l was looking to get another one and a friend said get a bitch they are easier LOL,if you bent over looking in a cupboard or sitting she would be on you, once my mum come around and amy got on her leg, we were laughing tears and could not do anythink.
If l was next to Linda Baldry in the ring her lola and amy would try with each other.
I was upset not to get her 3cc we lost her when she was 10 and still miss her.
all the best sue

Hi there Maggie
I still can't believe that I actually breed them, they have all turned out so beautiful I will probably wake up soon and find that it was all a dream....just keep my fingers crossed that they keep growing in the same way. Thank you so so much for the lovely comment, greatly appreciated..
Dee and the gang

Hi there Maggie
She is and always has been 'cheeky' but she will settle down, Findlay is the same, he has now had four days 'by himself' and he is now settled into being a proper puppy now, so there is hope for Robynn/Lana but she would always answer back, but don't you think that you need that little extra sparkle to make a really good show dog?? Dee and the gang

I just think that Wanda is going to have her hands full. I think that they were with me far too long, they learnt a lot off their mother, and I think me, (when I used to ride horses I had what they called a ''hot seat'' just one of those lovely phrases that mean I can get on any old horse and it becomes a nightmare...sorry about the pun....)
But she will be 'harnessed' eventually, her mother is a real sweetie when she is in a quiet mood. They will learn to live with the sudden outbursts, and I also think that her Farther is a bit of a horror as well, so not all the blame of mum. Ha Ha!!!! All the best Dee and the gang
