HOOLEY IRISH SETTERS
Profile Information
- How many Irish Setters do you have?
- One now: Glenvarna Fire And Ice At Hooley (Mulligan)
- How long have you owned Irish Setters?
- 37 years
- About Me:
- My first dog was a much loved Corgi called Bryn.
My previous Irish were:
Kerrigan Amber Dream (Oliver)
Twoacres Joker The Hooley (Flynn)
Twoacres Fergus (Fergus)
Cymbeline Fallon By Hooley (Geordie)
I taught 4 -7 year olds for 17 years and often used to take my first Irish Setter into school. He loved being with the children and they loved being with him. The favourite place to be at story time was next to Oliver!! He was affectionately known as Ollie and many generations of children grew up thinking of Irish Setters as Ollie dogs!!
I got into showing when I retired. Oliver died suddenly only two months after I stopped teaching and as the house was so empty I just knew that I had to have another Irish. I was lucky enough to get a puppy from the late Mrs June Coates (Twoacres). He was Twoacres Joker The Hooley, (Flynn).We went on a steep learning curve together as we found our way around the show world. I very quickly became hooked on this new past time and an obsession began. Over the years I have learnt so much and met so many wonderful friends, all through a shared interest and love of this magnificent breed.
I am on the B Judging list for Irish Setters in the UK and have also judged English Setters, Gordon Setters and Irish Red & White Setters at Open Show level. I was secretary of the East Midlands Social Region of the ISBC in the UK for 14 years and a committee member for 18 years.
As well as showing when possible, I like writing, so often contribute items to the ISBC Newsletter. I also have a particular interest in health matters concerning the breed.

I have a vague memory of someone starting a blog about member's web sites. Can anyone tell me where I can find it as I've spent hours trawling through this site and can't find it. Did I imagine it?
Thanks,
Michelle

Cymbeline Fallon By Hooley (Geordie) is 9 years old today. A severe Epilepetic who has also had Bloat & Torsion, I never thought he'd make it this far. Delighted that he has!!! He is stable at the moment and loving life. Long may…

I seem to have received many unsolicited e-mails from a new ES member, Vicky Lake, none of which has anything to do with setters, let alone dogs. All are spam and as far as I can see some sort of scam. let me make myself clear...............
I DO NOT WANT YOUR MAIL STOP SENDING IT!!!!
Is anyone else being pestered by this person?
