Tiroen Irish Setters began with a love of the breed and the desire for a dog.
An advert in a local paper to Ro's parents resulted in a visit to the breeder and Beth

(Keyscourt Taras Moonchild at Tiroen) went to sleep on her lap and that was that.

Ro then moved to Jersey to take up a teaching post there and puppy went too.

As time went on, Beth was taken to Obedience Class and the fateful words were said

"that is a nice bitch, why don't you show her".

Her debut was at a Jersey Members Show where

she was Best Sporting Novice and the seed was sown.

As time went on Ro decided that she would like another dog for company and to show - having been to a few Championship Shows and through friends she had made,

Oscar (Nelmside Navajo Warrior at Tiroen) came to stay.

It wasn't just in the show ring that they had fun, the dogs also competed in the UK at Agility giving the collies a run for their money on many an occasion!

On meeting Nigel who thankfully was dog orientated too, we decided that a brood bitch was the next step - unfortunately Beth had had to be spayed due to mammary tumors.

Again, through contacts we were put in touch with Magi Henderson

and Breagha (Sametsuz Mak'n Waves at Tiroen) came to join us just in time to be at our wedding.

The years passed with many successes in the ring and a suitable 'husband' was found

in the shape of James (Sh Ch Danaway Fortune Teller)

Nine puppies later, we kept Keeva ( Tiroen Tourbillon).

Keeva unfortunately had a bad fright in the ring and has never really got over it.

However, as a Veteran. she is back in the ring and doing us proud!

She did give us a lovely litter by Connor (Sh Ch Orstone Interceptor)

and from that litter we kept two;

TJ (JSY CH Tiroen Taylormade PDH SH CM) and Jules (Tiroen Tickled Pink)

have been fantastic ambassadors for the breed

and have delighted us by being fabulous souls to live with.

Jules had a wonderful litter by Miller (Clachnahar Ami Pierrot JW) and again we kept two - 

Snupps (Tiroen True Blue JW) and Freya (Tiroen Take My Breath Away JW).

We have mated Freya (Tiroen Take My Breath Away JW) to Dooley Sh Ch Jonola Dr Doolittle

 and we had nine beautiful puppies were the result

We decided to keep two from this special litter and so

Yoshi (Tiroen Time Lord) and Phoebe (Tiroen Timeless Classic) have joined the family

Dogs are available for stud to approved bitches

don’t be put off by us being in Jersey

we do spend time and have good contacts in the UK.

Ro is on the Combined Irish Setters Judging B List and has experience of judging all breeds

within the Gundog Group as well as experience of other breeds
