Irish setter on cover of huntingdogs mag

A last spring training session 2010 provided the cover of the Dutch bi-monthly hunting dogs magazine De Jachthond (The Hunting Dog). Pictured is Irish-American bred Giulla Redskin O'Conloch (Echlin O'Conloch x Redwing White Lightning).

The mag brings five pages with many pictures on working Irish setters (red and red &white) in the Netherlands. A profile is dedicated to under more two European top performers: Dutch bred, Irish owned IFTCH Pallas Green Harriet (r&w) and French top dog Urtis de la Chaume di Rigaut (red), topping EC and WC. They are close relatives.

There are interviews with prominent field-trialers under whom Jan Nooijen, who trialed pointers and Gordon setters to top levels in European and world championships. He will now try to get the red setters on top as well.

Next edition of De Jachthond will focus under more on the National Bird Dog Museum in Tennessee, USA.

Sherry Ebert For the Hall of Fame

The year was 2003 and Ms. Sherry Ebert was part of the Judicial Saddle for the Irish Setter Club of America’s National Championship. When she addressed the club she said; “I am coming back to win this Championship.” She had no idea where that comment was going to lead her!

In 2004 Ms. Georgia Brown arranged for Sherry to present a training seminar in Texas and the die was cast. Sherry went home with a puppy and the following summer Texas Red Dogs began to head to North Dakota. Following is a record of the achievements resulting from the union of Sherry and Kyle Ebert and the Texas Irish Red Setters.
