Olivia's Juniors Debut!


Our daughter Olivia made her Junior Showmanship debut at the North Country Specialty this past weekend too. A bit of a shaky start when her juniors dog (our old girl Belle) had an accident that dislocated her hip the day before the show - her daughter Aisling stepped in to fill mama's paws alongside Livi. We couldn't have been more proud of them, and as you can see, both Olivia and Aisling looked like seasoned pros! (Photos courtesy of Reimer Photo).

Mairead on the Move!


A couple of lovely photos of Mairead in the ring at the North Country Specialty. We received some amazing comments about this girl's movement over the course of the four days we showed, the very best coming from judge Edd Biven. We couldn't have been more pleased with his compliments of our very special and divine Miss M. (Photos courtesy of Reimer Photo).

News from Jenna Bear!

Jenna seems to be having lots of fun in the sun in her backyard pool! Now living with the Searfoss' in Pennsylvania, Jenna is the pick puppy from our I-Litter, otherwise known as Moonsetter Image is Everything. Thanks for sending the photos Betsy, keep 'em coming!

Nice week for Miss M !


We just returned from a long, hot four days of showing at the Summer Solstace Cluster - and the North Country Gordon Setter Club Specialty. Our girl Mairead (Moonsetter Certifiably Sreshot) came away with Winners Bitch/Best of Opposite Sex on Thursday, Reserve Winners Bitch on Friday, and Winners Bitch/Best of Opposite Sex today; adding more points towards her championship. Yesterday's Specialty found Mairead in the highly competitive Bred-By Exhibitor Class, where she placed second in a line-up of six lovely girls (we were moved up to first for a while, but didn't hang on to that spot in the end, when another lovely girl owned by Connie Rhoden took the class - nice going Connie!) Mairead is out of a boy we co-own named Philip, and our girl Delaney (C-Litter). Here's a couple lovely photos of Mairead taken when we got home today.

Nice pic of Aiden!

We just wanted to share a lovely photo of our boy Aiden (Moonsetter SureShot Hell Yes) taken last week. A special boy with a special personality. We're very proud of this boy, despite his antics! :) Aiden is out of our "heaven and hell" litter sired by Logan, SureShot Moonsetter Go the Distance, and our Aisling, Ch. Moonsetter Balwyn Sreshot.

New Favorite Photo!

We love getting pictures from Sue in Alaska of her Moonsetter girl Liberty - and today's installment was so touching for us, as it reminded us so much of her mama Delaney (Ch. Moonsetter Always in Style JH). Always a thoughtful puppy, Libby shows us that she takes everything seriously, including whatever caught her eye in the grass. Thanks for such a lovely photo Sue !!
