A couple more wins for the girls!

Last weekend we attended the St. Croix Valley Kennel Club shows in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. It was nice to show close to home for a change!! Mairead (Moonsetter Certifiably SureShot) was able to pick up Winners Bitch both days for a couple more points towards her championship, and Olivia and Aisling (Ch. Moonsetter Balwyn SureShot) went Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed both days (beating Mom and Mairead again, which she loves!) Way to go girls!

One more wee brag ... Mairead's half-brother Rigel (Moonsetter Everso Sirius SureShot) was also showing on Sunday, and went Winners Dog/Best of Winners. Congratulations to owners Bruce & Mary Keiser for Rigel's first point!

Nice Wins for Mairead & Aisling!

We attended the Badgerland Gordon Setter Club supported entry shows in Marshfield, Wisconsin this past weekend. While a bit hot and muggy for our taste, as well as the dog's ... we were thrilled to come away with a couple nice wins, and lots of nice prizes! Our girl Mairead (Moonsetter Certifiably SureShot) went Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed (over our own bitch Special!) on Saturday for a 3 point major! (Pictured above) Nice compliments from the judge on what a beautiful girl she is, we were thrilled!

Olivia and Aisling (Ch. Moonsetter Balwyn SureShot) showed in the Breed ring together this weekend, taking some time away from Juniors. At Sunday's show, they came away with Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, and we were so proud of them!!

Thanks to judges Joseph Gregory and Ann Yuhasz for recognizing our girls.

Miley comes to visit

Diane Chouinard visited today with her girl Miley from our most recent I-Litter (Rake x Regan). Miley received her first haircut, and was such a good girl. With hopes of showing her in Diane's dreams for the future, we took a look at her "stacked" up and on the move. We were both very happy to see she's looking pretty nice!! Miley is also known as Moonsetter Indeed A Dream Catcher, and we think that's very fitting.

Happy Birthday to the Moonsetter "H" Litter

(back when they were snuggle buddies!)

A few days late due to a busy summer schedule ... we'd like to wish a very happy birthday to the Moonsetter "Heaven & Hell" litter... born July 31, 2008. Woo's woo's to Aiden (Moonsetter SureShot Hell Yes) and sister Maggie (Moonsetter Heaven Forbid).
