I have shown Irish Setters since 1975, registering the affix 'Dawnglo' in 1978.
I occasionally breed a litter to continue my line. My stock is hip scored, genetically clear of PRA (RCD-1) and CLAD.
My highest award in the show ring has been a Res CC with Amberwave Prima Donna at Dawnglo, although over the years we have managed to have 2 wins (Dawnglo Celesta and Dawnglo Heatwave) and several placings at Crufts.
I have had a life long interest in Cocker Spaniels being the breed I grew up with. I have recently bred my first litter from my show winnng bitch and am running two bitches on.
My interest in dogs reaches beyond exhibiting. I was Secretary of a National Irish Setter Breed club for 4 years and also served on the committee of a Regional Breed Club for a similar period in the late 1980's. I have also judged Irish Setters on numerous occasions.
All my puppies are house reared and KC registered.
