    Gortinreagh Failte pregenant

    Hi am happy to announce were are having puppy's around july 1-5th . Our bitch imported from Gerald Devine in Ireland has successfully been mated with the co-owner of FAILTE who's dog is named Rigby . Rigby is another setter of quality lineage with great health and good conformation .Rigby has been used solely as an upland game pheasant dog hunting mostly cut over pine blocks .
    I will post pedigrees at some stage of both animals . I will be hunting over Rigby this weekend so will probably post something on youtube if I get some footage .
    Failte is a wonderfully kind and biddable bitch with flare. She has a great nose , a solid and cautious point and is producing some excellent birds for the gun -here is a video of her working and producing for anyone interested in talking a pup once theyre on the ground .Failte is a bitch that works for the gun and this means she constantly checks in to see where the gun is -a very important quality when hunting heavier cover .
    Lets hope all goes well and some of you guys carry on hunting over the beautiful English Setter

    July, what is she going to be doing until July...you must let the in whelp bitch gallop daily until she decides she can do so no longer...must keep her fit for her maternities...she must have good fresh air to breathe and keep the circulation healthy. A sluggish bitch, sluggish whelps...

    Have you got a whelping box sorted yet? I like to advise the vet of the due date just in case anything unexpected might happen, also get a price for the worst case scenerio, ie caesar.
