New buddy coming soon!

Oooohhhhh she is beautiful! Contratulations on your new family member!

My dad was an avid hunter and owned several wiemeraners.
Some one gave him a beautiful Irish setter that I immediately fell in love with.
She was a wonderful family dog.
But dad was a hunter.
We went out to a shooting practice range with the dog and at the first sound of the shotgun blast she ran and hid under the car.
The next day she was gone.
I cried.
Great looking pup have fun.

She is VERY nice looking.

I had the pleasure of traveling with a friend of mine who shows Irish's. They are a very smart breed albeit maybe a little too much for their own good!

Congrats on your new arrival.:C

What a beautiful pup!

How beautiful! HUUUUUUGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding pup!

Here is a pic from the breeder...

My husband's and my first dog together was an Irish Setter we named Kelly (original, I know - lol!), whom we adopted at an adoption event. She had just been dumped off at the event that morning by her owner who was moving to an apartment and couldn't take her. We lucked out!

Kelly was a joy to have, although she had her quirks. She was terrified of bridge overpasses when traveling and would duck, then look back to make sure we hadn't hit it - silly girl. Later, she was GREAT with our young daughter and put up with more than she should have had to (yes, I had to train our daughter how to properly interact with a dog) - very nicely tempered dog.

She was an accomplished escape artist and a thief however, and would return with various articles of clothing from the neighbor's yards and clotheslines to give us as presents (shoes, ladies bathrobe, shirts) ...so embarrassing...

Enjoy your new pup!
When we were first married and moved out in the country to build our house, we had a daily visit from this gorgeous red Irish Setter.
We were new to the neighborhood and he was our welcoming bandwagon!
He was as sweet as could be and loved to play with our Lab TJ...

I recently picked up a blue healer / ausie mix. She is still training me. Congrats on your new puppy.

This mix is also known as a "Texas Heeler". We have a page on FB.

Not to hijack but thanks very much. That's much easier than what I've been saying and explaining all the time. I'll have to go look that up tonight.
