Hi there

Just James & Bliss going to shows at the moment, my classes would clash with James when there's two judges & Woody's with Bliss & Jane's getting too old for all the running from ring to ring!!! When I do get entered she says I most likely will be in season & not be able to go anyway.

James won 2nd in Puppy at WELKS & Bliss surprised everyone by winning Limit. My sister Ruby, L. Wish For a Kiss From Ermebrook, was 3rd in Junior so qualified for Crufts.

Now home here we have the run of a large patio which goes the whole length of our house. Since James has been here the front door which is in the middle has had to be locked as he paws at it, leaving us all to run amok all over the house. Well yesterday we were in trouble...... As it was raining Roger shut us all back up in the kitchen & then went back to seeing to the kennel dogs. When he came back down we got all excited jumping up to the patio doors, putting the lock down & turning the key, clever us Lynwoods you know!!!

Jane & Roger locked outside, us in. Luckily the bedroom window was open so Roger shimmied up the ladder & went head first though the window, to much giggling from Jane. They now have a front door key firmly in their pockets.

Woody & Caskeys Vermillion At Bluesprings announce the safe arrival of 3boys & 6 girls on the 20th April anyone interested in the litter should contact Christine Heron, 01342 715152.

thats all for now

see Ya

Hi there

I suppose you may of thought I'd done a runner !! no still here.

I went to Crufts & got a very creditable 3rd in Junior, sister Blanche got 2nd in Undergrad.

Auntie Bronte won Veteran, well done to her & Sandy.

Bliss was 2nd in Mid Limit but the star of the day was our mummy Fern who won Open & then showed her socks off to win the CC, looking great at 7 years old we are so proud of her.

The next big excitement was James arriving fom Sweden, he has settled in really well & all of us love him, he's my half brother you know.

Didn't do too well at his debut at ISBC but placed. Bliss was the only one who went with him & she won Mid Limit.

Next James went to an Open show & only got 3rds but at Chippenham Open show this weekend David Hopewell saw his potential & gave him the puppy & Junior classes & 2nd in Grad in very good competition. He then got 3rd best Gundog Puppy.

Great news from Sweden my sister Nora has "A" scored hips. Me & James go for ours in June, so fingers crossed we will score well too.

The main website should be updated next month with pictures of us all, if Roger ever gets round to taking some.

Bye for now

Hi Everyone

Know it's a bit late but Happy New Year to you all.

Did you see that our website had a mention in the ISBC Newsletter. We really must add a link to Michelle Webster's site & update our photos, until then you can go to www.hooley-irish-setters.co.uk

I had a little rest after LKA & didn't go the the first two shows of the year but Bliss went & got 1st Post Grad at both Boston & SEISC.

Then it was off to Manchester & what a brilliant day the Lynwoods' had. Starting off with Woody winning Grad. & really enjoying his day out. Then his daughter Willow was 2nd in a very good Minor Puppy, next it was my turn & I was 2nd in another nice class of Juniors. Bliss won Post Grad again which was her 5th time so she has qualified out of that class by the number of wins & her CC. Diva ( Lynwood Theme Song For Polmennor) was 2nd in the same class. Darling Promise won Veteran, now 9 years old but looking great. Bliss then was awarded the Res. CC behind the the lovely B.Geisha Girl. To round off our day we also competed in the new competition for Top Breeder which we won with me, Diva, Bliss & Woody, we didn't stay for the group as we all wanted to make our way home.

No shows for any of us now until Crufts, Jane & Roger are off to the Carribean for some winter sun, their first ever cruise, hope they aren't sea sick!! We all must be good for Kim who is coming to look after us & the few dogs & cats in the kennels.

Bye for now

Hi

I know, I know !!! I made a mistake yesterday, It's not really going to be my 1st Christmas.

What I meant was last year I was only 4weeks old so don't remember any of it & we didn't get any turkey as we were already too shitty & smelly. 13 of us all too young to go outside, not nice, no wonder we had no visitors for dinner.

bye now

Hi

Lots to brag about this time.

We went to LKA last Friday. Woody (L. Field of Dreams jw) actually got to a show & behaved himself very well. He won 2nd in Grad. His baby daughter, Polmennor Willow Pattern, was 4th in the very good Minor Puppy class but then was 1st in Puppy, so qualified for Crufts 2009 at her one & only chance, well done.

Me, I was 2nd in Junior & sister Blanche 3rd.

Mummy, Fern, won Open but the star of the day was Bliss (L. Follow Your Dreams jw ) who won Post Grad & then the CC!!! What a lovely way to end the year.

Looking forward to my first Christmas, I hear we get plenty of treats & the turkey is very tasty

Can't wait

Hope you all have a splendid time

Hi

we are all better now.

while I have been home my brother & sisters have kept the Lynwood flag flying.

Baby Ronnie had best puppy in group at Barry Open show.

Blanche is now up to 17 junior warrant points & looking great!!

Nora in Sweden qualified for Crufts in Stockholm by winning best Junior.

Auntie Bronte also won Best of Breed at Coventry Gundog this weekend.

Well done to all of them.

Me, Woody, Bliss & mummy Fern are all trimmed up for LKA on Friday, so see you there

Love Sky

Willow 6months

Hi

Oops I'm in trouble now!! Seems along with my recent successes I brought kennel cough home with me so we are all confined to barracks.

I'm blaming Woody, he must be jinxed. He rarely gets entered for shows but when he does something always seems to go wrong.

Anyway Jane & Roger went to the ISC of Wales open show yesterday without us and still the Lynwood Setters did very well. Bronte, L. Strands of Silk at Sandstream, was Best Bitch & RBIS and my sister, Blanche won Best Puppy in Show.

Woody's baby, Willow, won 1st time out in Minor Puppy, well done Angela. You will of seen this pretty girl at the top of the page, still can't get the photos to appear where I want them!!

Bye for now
