An introduction to the aloofness of setters (pic heavy)

I figured I could do with some cheering up so I've dug out some photos of my Mum and one of her Irish setters. His name is Ethan and he is every bit as regal and aloof as he looks lol. These were taken at a show up in scotland where he placed highly in his class, the photographer was kind enough to send us copies. Enjoy

What a handsome boy he is, and his colouring is just stunning, that is the thing I have always loved about the Irish Setters is that marvellous colour. Your mum is rightfully a very proud settermummy as you can see by the piccies, and I love the name Ethan

He is such a good example of his breed, no wonder he achieved what he did Rob and so handsome. His colouring is so rich, are they born with such rich colouring or does it develope as the pup gets older[hint,hint, for puppy pic's lol!]. Where's the pic of the comical one that you was telling me about? [ another hint!]. XX

haha ill have to dig some more pics out lol, they start more of a brownish colour that deepens and reddens as they mature, the comical one would be fraser lol, hes ten months and a bit of a clown haha.
I'll try and find some to upload for you

Yes pleeeaaassseeee X

his a real beauti well stunning boy, deserved highly placing

Haha hes really aloof tho, if you want to play he just stares at you like your completely mad. But as soon as he wants attention thats it lol

Ah, Royalty!
I know of a Ute like that! lol

Very handsome boy there Rob, I too love the colour ,
The other thing that struck me in the photo's is how much you look like your Mum!

Haha he is stunning lol and he knows it.
Funny you should say that karen because apparently I'm the spitting image of my dad lol

Y'know I thought doesn't he look like his mum maybe you've changed in your old age

Aww thanks so much :/ haha I blame the unflattering haircut lol, my display picture is rather old now anyway lol, I look very different at present

oooh are you like Bex, different hairstyle/colour for each day of the week
just had Jackie with Kofie on the phone, am walking over to have playtime with Kofie, maybe Sulin Tracker will be on as well, will get some piccies if I can. Funny thing is, Jackie says its raining, it isn't here, she lives on the main road, I live in the village how weird is that

i dont change my hair that much... we i did cut it a couple of weeks ago so maybe once a month

ALSO, lovely lovely setter

Oh he is such a handsome laddie! Really beautiful and those pics are stunning - both the subjects are!

Love his colouring.
