Never have I been so impressed with a product, as this!

Used during the summer months usually - a friend then suggested using it for replacement electrolytes etc during whelping so we decided to give it a go. I’m not easily swayed from my tried and trusted methods gleaned over 35 years of breeding, but now I am in !!

DOGGYRADE PRO AND DOGGYRADE ARE JUST THE BUSINESS!

Great for during the actual whelping process, when mum is under extreme physical pressure as well as used in the weeks following as a gut leveller when mum is busy cleaning and tidying up the leftovers from her brood.

I cannot recommend this product highly enough - I‘m hooked!

Check it out …… you’ll be delighted, I am sure. Our two week old babies are big and so strong. Full and content and with an equally happy mum who has had great motions and is fully hydrated and in such fine form.

Gwendariff Irish Setter puppies will be raised with Doggyrade as a regular part of their routine. Doggyrade will also accompany each puppy in the individual puppy packs.
This is a game changer! Why not give it a try? you wont regret it!

Well done Diva! Doggyrade PRO!

Doggyrade and Gary Scobell….. find them on Facebook

I just got a video of one of our lovely girls - the touching message that came with it really puts life into perspective.

Single professional mum and her young daughter, small terrier and my Irish Setter girl. Mum has been fighting her battle with cancer. 😔
It’s back 😮‍💨😪

So whilst we find silly things to focus on, negativity to embrace and lack of care for our fellow human beings….. please spare a thought or a prayer for this beautiful family and the fight they have on their hands . 🙏

Mum is a strong woman - thankfully. She has to be, she has responsibilities. “We send you our love and special prayers dear J. 🙏🫠
I know your special red head has enhanced your lives. For that as a breeder I am incredibly proud. ❤️ Your story breaks my heart but your determination and spirit inspires me more than you know”.

Here’s her video - this is real happiness for this family.

HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?

Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The caller and after hearing the price, surprisingly states: "I can buy a cheaper puppy somewhere else". I’m also turning to you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.

No dog is “just a pet”.

Behind every purebred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I use capital letters to tell the difference between a breeder and a pet mill. A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers, it does not protect the integrity of the breed. Registrations (paper) are genealogy records that document bloodline and enable one to research possible health issues in the genealogy. When you tell a breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is that you don’t mind less about the puppy’s health you just want the cheapest you can find! When choosing to buy a puppy from a reputable breeder, that breeder is responsible for the health of each puppy; both dog owner and every puppy they have sold during their lifetime. This breeder will skip vacations, lack sleep, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs. The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts all his heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies sold, but also in every customer who owns a piece of their heart and is now a member of their extended family. This does not take into account any puppy/dog who may become ill or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and bring one back without hesitation.

A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything associated with birth. Cause thats what life is all about.. Between birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps on turning. A breeder will perform tests, echoes, x-rays, analysis, emergency c-sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, deworm, and microchip their puppies and have them evaluated by specialists.

Last but not least, a breeder CHOSES the family that is lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they don't make money from the sale. There is no compensation that can compensate for the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be sure it is suitable. Many times said no more then yes .. A good Breeder will have different criteria for those who want to continue their bloodline, why? Because breeding isn't a responsibility to ever take lightly, it's a lifestyle choice reserved for ONLY the few dedicated people who are willing

Because a dog is never "just a pet" it is the Breeder's legacy, a little boy's best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly person's therapy, a family member, someone's whole world!!!

Just a refresher for those who do not know this. Its important!

When you get your 8 week old puppies, please keep these images in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

When you're letting your puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

A rare Whippety post in celebration of our new CHAMPION TITLE. Yeah !
CREME ANGLAISE'S VANILLA FLAVOUR OF GWENDARIFF

THANK YOU first and foremost to Phillou's breeders, Jan Willem Akerboom and Kris Van Der Shaaf Akerboom for allowing us to have this special little package. Without your expertise as breeders none of this would have been possible. We are very grateful for this opportunity you have given us. We just did the three M's - Management, Miles and Money!

THANK YOU to judges, Diana Spavin, Anne Defaye and Martin Saunders for Phillou's 3 CC's with BOB and of course her Group acknowledgments too. To the other judges who acknowledged her qualities so many times along the way, including Rob Wheeler (RCC) and Espen Eng and Age Gjetnes for the great start at her first show winning BPIB and also the LKA Puppy Stakes outright.

We've had a lovely time with our little girl - our first Champion Whippet living at chez Gwendariff alongside a few red Champion ones!

STRIPEY SETTER YOU DID GOOD ...... A few more shows and then maybe a few little Stripey Setters at the end of the Year. We love you to bits MIss Phillooooouuuuuu ........... and so does your ever increasing fanclub!

Our lockdown project is complete.

Today our new Gwendariff Irish Setter Website goes live. It has been quite a journey but so enjoyable, collating and reminiscing over many photographs and videos of our older dogs, many champions and rising stars.

www.gwendariffirishsetters.com

Our heart felt thanks to all those who have provided pictures, videos, moral support and given much of their time to make it happen. Special thanks to the very talented and patient Caroline Reynolds, website designer and friend extraordinaire.

To coincide with our new website we have created a new Gwendariff Irish Setter page. Here we will post pictures of our dogs, puppies and we hope to share our fun and happy times.

So grab a coffee and take a break. We hope you enjoy our Gwendariff journey as much as we did putting it together.
