Hello All,

I would like to share an official photo of our Kerrsienna Divide N' Conquer taken at this years Irish Setter Club of America. Out of a class of 21 we were absolutely delighted he was placed 4th! Making the cut at this annual show is an honour but to be actually placed is a goal for every exhibitor.We were very humbled also at the Annual Awards Dinner for the ISCA as we came home with three awards as follows:

Best Puppy Dog Class Wins-(14) 2003 Kerrsienna Divide N' Conquer "Bentley"

Best Puppy Bitch Class Wins-(13) 2003 Kerrsienna Heart N' Soul "Bridget"

Best Puppy at Breed Specialty Shows- (3) Kerrsienna Divide N' Conqier

As we have only been actively showing for two years we are very pleased with these two youngsters accomplishments. Our Breeding program continues and we are extremely pleased with the blending of British and American Lines of Irish. This has not been an easy task, however. A great deal of research was done and continues today.

On July 27th, 2004 our Kerrsienna Chicago Rave JW gave birth to 13 little munchkins and have to say we were worried form the onset with the size of this liter. Despite our around the clock intervention of tube feeding the Bakers Dozen for about 10 days, we sadly lost 4 babies, 1 boy and 3 girls. But were very fortunate to announce that the remaining 9 (7 boys and 2 girls) will be 14 weeks old November 1st.

I have also attached a photo of the Sire: Ch. Courtwood Packer Player and his son RouxChien Life of Kerrsienna.

We are over the moon with this litter and to date 7 of these babies will make their debut in the show ring here and abroad in the New Year.

If any of your readers would like to see photos of these babies, they can request to see them by dropping me an email at : kerrsienna@aol.com

We send our regards to all and would like to let everyone know despite the four years we have been in the States, we still very much miss the UK dog show scene and all the Irish Setter Exhibitors!

Sincerely,

Rosemary Kerr & The Kerrsienna Clan

We have just lost our beloved Tullyglass Aran Morgan. His father was Reddins Morgan and his mother Calsu Stormy Sky. Two of his grandparents were champions Bardonhill Supergrass and Sorrel of Andana of Reddins.

Morgan was such a rascal but lived as one of the family in a way only other setter owners will recognise. We must have walked hundreds of miles over the years and even on the last day of his 14 years 2months life, he managed a rather tottery trip up the lane and back.

Where will we be without his welcome home excitement.

Anyway the keyboard of this computer is getting rather wet so I'll get to the point.

Does anyone know if any of his brothers or sisters still survive or were mated - I guess he has probably outlived them all. The breeder was Mrs H Brown who lived near Cambridge.

Thanks
