Polmennor

I have always been interested in animals as I was brought up in a farming family. We always had a Dachshund or two and a border collie for a few years that was abandoned outside our house. Up until my twenties I was riding competitively my ponies and horses.
My family have owned Irish Setters since 1976. Red Shimmer of Helston Water 'Heidi' firstly came as a pet, followed by Smallcroft Gretl 'Katy' in 1989 who became the first show dog for us. She was registered in my parents names but trained for the show ring and always shown by myself. We were thrilled when she won a CC in 1995. In 1994 I bought an Irish Setter bitch of my own, Lynwood Castaspell Over Polmennor 'Magic' She became my foundation bitch and at present my Irish Setter family consists of two of Magic's daughters, Polmennor Sweet Dreams 'Kayla' born in 1997 only lightly shown as a youngster and Polmennor Village Gossip Sh CM 'Charis' born in 2000, another successful show girl winning a RCC as a two year old. She has produced for me Polmennor For Pleasure 'Pasha' born in 2005 a championship show first prize winner. I also own Pasha's half sister Lynwood Theme Song for Polmennor who came to live with us in 2006 at 15 months old, she is also a championship show first prize winner and is such a sweetie.
All of my dogs live in the house as family pets in perfect harmony with each other. I am a Kennel Club Accredited breeder and my youngstock are hip scored, eye tested clear of GPRA and hereditarily clear of CLAD and PRA rcd-1. I only breed a litter when I want a puppy for myself and have only bred 3 litters since I bought Magic in 1994. I am on the Irish Setter joint judging B list and have been judging Irish Setters all over the country since 1997.

'Magic' was my foundation bitch. She was the pick of bitches from a litter bred by Jane Mugford in 1994. From the last litter by the well known Sh Ch Clonageera Genesis x Lynwood Mega-Star. She was successful in the show ring winning 2 RCCs and in latter years 18 Best Veteran in Show awards of which I was very proud. Magic lived to 12 1/2 years old. Her show career spanned over 11 years and she loved every minute of it and I enjoyed every minute of sharing my life with her.

'Charis' my Angel. Magic's daughter and the no trouble, lovable, biddable girl of the house, she has been a successful show dog and has won multiple first prizes at championship shows and won a RCC as a two year old. Now showing in the veteran classes she takes it rather easy these days as the two youngsters tend to be the ones taken to most of the shows.

'Pasha' Charis's daughter has also been well placed at many of the championship shows she has attended winning a 1st in Post Graduate in 2007 at the Irish Setter Club Of Wales Championship show. She is a rather full of life dog and loves to spend as much time in the garden or field as possible.

Thank you to all those lovely people who chose to own my puppies. I hope they will enrich your lives for many years to come.
