Big win

April 13th 2008 Moxi wins her first ever Open shooting dog Stake. She was spectacular and even if she wouldn't have won I was very pleased with her performance. This was her first run at this level of competition.
On the 25th of April I gave it another shot and had Moxi run in the Izaak Holton Classic, another Open Shooting dog stake. Moxi didn't do so well getting disqualified 10 minutes into what was a 45minute stake. Unfortunately she saw the bird run and she made the attempt to catch it. Up until that point she was looking good.

4 month old pup

4 Month old pup staunch on point, yes she is scent pointing a live bird hidden in the grass about 15 feet in front of her. This pup had not been styled up prior to the photo this is just how she stopped she held the point long enough for me to take a few photos and flush the bird. This is typical red setter or what I've come to expect in young red setters.

Can you handle it?

Can you handle hunting all day with a dog that looks like this and actually put birds in the bag? Yes it's true Irish "Red" Setters CAN HUNT!

getting the job done

Today's red setter is a class gun dog in the ranks with the English pointers, English setters. Indeed a force to be reckoned with. Whether hunting for large groups at a shooting preserve or wild birds with their master, red setters get the job done.

Kira, stylish and intense

This is Xena, mother to Moxi.

Xena was my first red setter and I wish I had known what I was doing when I first got her. I made every mistake possible with her, had I known then what I know now she would have been very formiddable in trials. 35 pounds of enegy and drive I considered her a chesapeake personality. Break ice, dive under water to make a retrieve,cross rivers, swim upstream, make 200 and 300 yd retrieves, point fur and feathers, no fear what so ever she got off the plane at 12 weeks and was ready for action. Play and play hard. Xena was an all out hunting dog by the time I got into trials and learned a thing or two, some of the bad habits had taken hold for good, though she did well in competition her lack of manners worked against her, rufusing to back and stealing points, things she didn't ever have to do hunting. Now Xena is 9 and though she can't go as long, she will still break ice and give you a hell of a days hunt.To this day I have never come home empty handed from a hunt with Xena or Moxi and to hunt with the both of them together just isn't fair to the wild life.

Moxi the Red Setter

Moxi is one of those dogs that is a joy to hunt with from age 4 months she exhibited a sharp mind and a willingness to handle unlike some of my previous experiences with pointing dogs. A high energy to hunt and calm around the house, perfectly happy to lay on a rug and chew a bone. Moxi has a good balance of a strong eager to please personality and a strong drive to find birds.

Moxi does have a couple of Derby wins to her name in filed trial events and now working on a walking shooting dog placement.

Moxi has now hunted for groups as large as 12 guns holding staunch while all guns a blazin.

She does not care to handle for any one other than myself, loyalty, another thing I wasn't accustom to in pointing dogs.
