LAURELHACH

FRANCES BOXALL
EPSOM DOWNS
SURREY
England

Breeder of:

  • Gordon Setter

I started my involvement with Setters when I had an Irish setter her breeding being mainly the famous Wendover lines. In 1979 I registered my affix, LAURELHACH and followed this with a Gordon Setter.
I first gave CCs in the breed in 1995 and have since awarded them on many occasions. In April 2006 I judged the breed at the Gordon Setter Club of NSW in Australia, Sydney and was warmly welcomed by the exhibitors who presented such sound Gordons of all ages for me to appraise. I have also judged in various parts of Europe.
I feel strongly that you can never stop learning about the breed and should listen to all aspects and ideas from all over the world drawing on the information to keep the Gordon Setter healthy and long living, be it for the show ring, working, obedience or any other activity fitting for the breed but mainly as lifelong companions. All my dogs live in the house as part of the family and puppies are reared in a home environment and are well socialized with a view to becoming lifelong family companions. Fairly new owners of the breed have started with Laurelhach stock which has paved their involvement in showing and breeding and I watch their progress with not only interest but pride as well. My present-day stock includes blood lines from overseas and this has been expanded by importing a bitch from Australia in 2007 followed by a male called Link in 2011 who is a delightful companion and has widen the gene pool for the breed both in the UK and on the continent. I am a life member of The British Gordon Setter Club, The Gordon Setter Association and am also a member of The Gordon Setter Club of Scotland. All my stock is health screened and further information can be found at my web site.
I hope you enjoy reading about this breed and I am always happy to help with any information about Gordon Setters if I can
