Thank you for your kind words and yes I have many wonderful memories of my boy. The last two months have been very emotional here as we hoped so much that we would be able to control SLE with meds but, we were not able to. I know when I am ready there will be another setter by my and the girls side.

Thank you again for you kind words as I am having a hard time with dealing with loosing my boy.

Thank you for your kind comment regarding the illustrations Catherine!

These particular illustrations were done for the swedish kennelclub magazine. There was a suplement with just the WDS-Stockholm. I work for the kennelclub magazine (and plenty of other magazines and newspåapers as well). And yes, I have published 9 books to date, but only 4 so far with funny stories and illustrations. You can check out some of my work on my website.:-)

Hi Catherine, I quite understand your thoughts!
Actually with already 4 dogs at home I had no plans for keeping a puppy from this litter. My hope was for a bitch to be placed on breeding terms but with only three bitches in the litter and a couple of buyers interested in a bitch for breeding themselves, I decided that as long as the line is continued it did not really matter if it was under my affix or somebody elses.
Dillan was not planned! What happened was that the puppy dog Daredevil (Dillan) was second pick and when his intended new owner had to pull out, I persuaded my friend Manuela that we keep Dillan in partnership... so I can show him and she can train him;-))
I must admit that after 30 years of owning only bitches I am really quite enthusiastic about showing and working a dog!
What are your future plans?
best regards
Susan

Hello Catherine,
we seem to be experiencing a typical internet problem... It is so easy for misinterpretations to crop up. No harm intended:-)

Bonjour Catherine, je suis ravie de vous parler en français car moi et l'anglais... difficiles ! Vos chiens sont magnifiques ! J'adore les irlandais et se sont les setters que je préfére après les Gordon ! Vous êtes en Grande Bretagne ou en Hollande ?
En France nous ne trouvons pas de "rouges" aussi beaux que sur ce site !

Je serais ravie de vous rencontrer lors d'un passage en Bourgogne et comme je suis en retraite, j'ai du temps de libre et si vous avez besoin de mon aide pour rechercher une maison... n'hésitez pas !
En France, on se bat pour que le standard du Gordon ne bouge pas ! Je les aime beaux et bons, les deux ne sont pas incompatibles !
Vos irlandais sont comme je les aime : typés ! En France, on voit trop des "renards" !
Amicalement,

Hello Catherine,
Hope you and yours are all well!
We actually refer to Shannon as 'Fuzzy Wuzzy wuz a bear...' a childhood song that stuck for over 40 years;-))

Thank you so much for that, this site has been a great comfort at this time, everyone is so kind, I got her back AGAIN, she was in again yesterday, but this time we have, I hope, got it sussed, it seems that her innards are not quite where they should be, it is rather worrying, but she seems, at the moment to be getting over it, operating on them is dangerous at the best of times, but when it is totally unnecessary, I think that makes it worse, but thank you again Dee and the girls

Hi there hope you can open mine!!!!!! thanks for the info Dee and the girls

Hello Catherine, thanks for your kind remarks! It really was agood day and a friendly atmospehere. You are welcome anytime!!!

That's great Catherine! I bet you've heard about the training weeks organized by Peter & Geraldine up north?
Good luck with your boy
Susan

Just 10 mins, what more can you ask!

Glen only retrieves cold game so far... not enough practice!

hello Catherine, I have been trying to get the adresse in a blog-post now and it is totally impossible...so it seems. At least impossible to make it "clickable". And no it was NOT you, I could not make it work either...

Ill try it on your page, might get lucky this time :-)

Oh well...so much for luck.
It did not even show up on the comment below....just vanished into thin air!
Ill just type it as it is and you can copy and paste...
