My Story:

Thalice is in a household of human parents and five other English Setters. We have always had dogs, but when Minsky, Springer Spaniel died she was irreplaceble. However the hole has now been filled. Thalice is an absolute monster and just suits herself but she is so beautiful and loving you have to forgive her. She tries her utmost to teach the others 'naughty things' but none are as adept as she is (Thank doG). The boys - Fleet and Flash are the Children of Poppy who we lost a year ago. We have two Thalice daughters - Sapphire and Delyth and we also have Rhian who is Delyth's daughter.
Thalice was bought as a show propect, but HATES showing, what she really, really likes is lovingly bringing up puppies - not necessarily her own !

The reason for breeding Fleet and Flash was to use then as stud dogs for my own bitches, however I have never done this as firstly I discovered serious deafness in their line and I didnt want to deliberately chance bringing deaf puppies into the world and secondly, sweet as they are, they would not bring any improvements to the breed. I was vindicated when their mother developed Addisons Disease as this is also possibly inherited.
