Sh.Ch.Shannonlee Rosefinch with her litter of eleven beautiful pups.
My Mum decided it was time I had a litter she had been waiting long enough for me to come in season and at the right time (is there any right time). Well we went to see Alfie (Sh.Ch.Cormallen Strike A Light With Spyefire) and we got on rather well, a couple of months later this lot appeared, eleven of the little darlings (yes eleven) there were nine boys and two cute little girls. Boy were they ever hard work, at three weeks old I decided enough was enough and it was time for my Mum to take over the feeding and cleaning of these getting bigger by the second little gems. We were going to keep one of my daughters but somehow, (I don't know how she managed it!) we also kept one of the boys, and all the rest went off to some super new homes with lovely new Mums and Dads and also lots of children. We still get pictures and letters telling us how they are doing and what they have been up to. The two we kept are called Michael and Mia.

Michael aged about 12 weeks |
Michael made a great start to his show career, at his first show aged seven months he was Reserve Best Puppy In Show at the Irish Red and White Setter Club of G.B. Championship Show under Breed Specialist Judge Mrs. Sue Paterson (Torweaving).
He continued to do well throughout the year, and at the tender age of just 20 months he won his first Challenge Certificate under another Breed Specialist Judge Ms K.Wilson-Smith (Chardine) at Birmingham Dog Show Society Championship Show. Now in the Limit class (at such a tender age) he still continues to be well placed at the shows we have attended.
Michael now has Two Challenge Certificates, he took the Dog C.C. at the Irish Red and White Setter Club of Scotland Championship Show Oct. 2000. Breed Specialist Judge Mrs Pat Peacock (Copperdale)
Michael went to Bath Championship Show 8/6/2001 and won Open Dog, Best Dog and Best of Breed (Breed Judge Mrs Celia George - Jezemay).
