Thread: Our English Setter arrives

Failte presented 4 roosters today which i would have shot easily - not pointed as yet but what an inceridibly biddlible bitch anserinh her whistle like it was old hat stuff- a good day with no gun

Nothing like a rooster getting up in front of your dog You must be stoked with how far she come so fast.

Brilliant!!

Good to see the Felcher going so well. Tinme to go run my new dog "Holy $hit"... otherwise known as "Grace".

its such a relieving feeling when they start the road to doing what you expect .Grace obviously has drive -an ingrediant one cant put into a dog -she sounds "holy bloody great"

She's starting to do very well. I'm happy.

nice right up to the break to flush......did you stop her after that chase ?

yep at the end you can see her sitting -young inexperienced bitch just finding out what the job .

I would have just recalled her and hunted her on if the stop is not there 100%, no good stopping her after the chase, will confuse her once you start insisting on steadiness, a joy to watch mind.

i was surprised she didnt stop as she is getting very good on the whistle --better than the older dog ! amazingly compliant pup in general but needs to find her nose over her speed but that will come with practice--she is a joy to watch and she goes hard

If you don't already know you may be interested to learn that Gerald's bitch puppy F.T.Ch. Gortinreagh Eppie won the Kennel Club's Derby Stake on Bollihope Moor recently. It may be a unique achievement in that not that many dogs are Champions well before their second birthday and fewer still win the Derby.

Welcome to the forum Des, its good to have another pointer enthusiast on here.

very exciting for Gerald making such a young bitch up for sure Des! When I teach my young bitch to retrieve i am looking forward to competing with FAILTE as she is showing great potential

Well done guys, i like reading this stuff as it will never (never?) happen for me unless i retire to the mainland with time to do it!!!!!! which presently is not on the horizon....
