hi Mary, just read your story abour Robin, and yes, it made me cry :( i am happy that she found a loving home and is now starting with a "job" as well.
I did some mushing with my oldie back then (she is not with us anylonger). she was the lead dog of hungary's one and only setter mushing team and we had some great success. they all loved it and howled like the huskies etc did, before the start :-))

Hi Laura
I mush a team of 2 setters here in Ireland and a 3rd very soon.
We are building our team up slowly.
Our dogs love to run, and boy can setters run, they're great sprint dogs.

Hi Rita, nice to see you here! Your 3 red setters are adorable and the two older boys are great at canicross and mushing both with scooter and rig. Its amazing how these sports are becoming popular in Ireland now and I agree the setters do love to run and seem to really enjoy the sport!
