#1 Gordon puppy in Canada 2009

#14 Gordon in Canada 2009

This baby has come along way in the last tweleve months. Not only did she finish her Canadian championship just two weeks after her first birthday she did it in style. Still a long way to go in ring craft, such as keeping still in a stack and not every judge needs a face wash. Now to play and have fun until she matures.

Islay has only been in the ring for practice or so I thought. Not the easiest of puppies,

Islay is very strong willed. In three weekends she has picked up seven points and a Best Puppy In Show. Islay has a lot of attitude and takes things in her stride, however she is a chllenging dog to live with and keeps me on my toes all the time.

Islay (pronounced Eye Lah) is the latest additiion to our family. Islay is from a co-bred litter with Bobbie Tucker - Oakisle Irish and Gordon Setters.

Islay and her sister Willow hitched a ride as excess baggage to Edmonton, arriving on a flight that involved us leaving home at four in the morning in order to meet them. Both girls came off the plane quite unpreturbed. After a quick check and hands on Willow was handed over to her new family ready to continue on to Whitehorse.

The rest of Islay's new family had come along for the ride to meet their new neice and cousin. We stopped a couple of times on the drive home for potty breaks and introductions. We decided to reward the big dogs by taking them to their daily running ground as a reward after a long day sleeping in the back of the car. Islay took this in her stride checking out the new smells but making sure she stayed pretty close to Wanda and myself.
