This may come as a surpise to you Sean, I'm not leaving the planet
and need to take a break! I removed the pics as the confusion over the Irish is very hard to understand. This is because of what the show has done to them. And today a new threat to their existent is upon us. Will
they make it through this new challenge so that future generations can
see one without looking in books? Our will they be wiped off the map?
You see what appears to be a good thing for some may or may not be
a good thing in time. I'm proud to be of a handfull of people trying to
protect the once world famous Irish Setter. And yes even then the English
Setter was trailing against them, and the Irish held it's head up high. It was a good time for the Irish. But, times have changed and perhaps at
a later time I will post some new pics. For now I realize that they need
to go back out of site for awhile. I enjoy the Irish's personality, their gentleness, the " devil may care attitude", and the pleasure of hunting
with them. Makes owning one a gift that only perhaps the owners will ever
realize. I also realize that inorder to protect them is like you would be watching over a flock of sheep while surrounded by wolves. The road ahead is going to be a long one! And it is IMO that the newest threat is not the show as we already know what they have done to them. The newest threat is now IMO the red setter ( red coats ). With the beeding stock being further reduced can not be said to be helping out the Irish
or the English. But hopefully these new setters will work out for all that want them. As I close I will post three pictures of setters. 1) the what the show has done to them, 2) the Irish ( Rusty ), 3) the red setter.
Anyways this is how I see it,and thanks to all with the training help
I'm sure that the info you folks helped me with will help the setters out
greatly!
