Ridgepoint Irish Red and White Setters

09/08/2024

One of my favorite shows was always to go to Canada and attend the IRWSCC National show(s).
I was unable to attend this year, but I was glad I had time to watch various videos of the multiple shows that were put on with the amazing amount of quality dogs that were in attendance!
My hearty congratulations to all the winners!!
(But then again, everyone goes home with a winner!😊)

It was especially nice to see Gilbey and Tillly's daughter, Lucetta, go Best of Op in shows as well as at the National. Traditions ya know..😉
G won 2 Nationals in Canada and those visits introduced Judy and myself to people that we now call friends and contributed to our foundation in the breed...."family" now I say!
I might add that their grandkids, Emer and Daithi took home some great wins also!!
Even Porter's Dad, Rohan won the breed today in the all breed!

Over all, a fabulous few days for everyone that competed and/or attended!
CONGRATULATIONS on all your efforts ...it certainly should make you proud!

Another part of my trip back from Marietta included a trip to Bloomington, Indiana to stay with Linda Ritter and her husband Gary Morrison.
There Porter and I got to spend time with Finn, "Ridgepoints Sparks the Imagination at RoseView"
I must say, Linda has him in absolutely fabulous condition!

Like many Red and White's, his brain still needs to be delivered and so we will sit a bit more and let him grow up while experiencing many new things, much like his cousin, Porter.
Tee hee...he LOVES Grandma!😉
Finn has 4 majors so the hard part is over...

Looking forward to many more adventures with these two, as well as Abbott!

And so it begins....Porter's career started with a bang by going Winners Dog,(5pt Major) Best of Winners and Best in Sweeps!
A long few days but he made the first hurdle easily!!

It is with much sadness that we said goodbye to Wynn, Killary's Grand Illusion yesterday.

Wynn, was one of the girls from Judy and my first litter.
She originally lived with Val Obenauf, but upon Val's passing, Wynn came to live with Danielle "Josie" Holland.
14 months of blessings those two had!
Wynn went for walks along the St Croix, traveled to family and friend get togethers and even did a little fastcat competing!

Due to some health issues that were challenging, the decision came to let her rest .....
My sincere appreciation to Josie for giving her new life in the outdoors these past months! She will be watching over her new cousin, Tundra, as he fills that void in your heart!
Rest gently, Wynn....you were a GRAND girl to all of us.💔💞

One of the best parts of being a breeder is looking in a puppy's eyes and seeing their grandparent looking back saying, "It's Ok, I never left you”.

I miss having my own litters....
I think I need to start thinking on that process...

Abbott and Zelle (both have Griffin as their sire) did very well at the IRWSAA Regional in August.
Zelle's sister, Lilly went Best in Sweeps too!
So good to see the generation consistency!!
