Tramore Irish Setters
Whelped January 24, 2000

We imported Foster from Australia and Gwyndara Kennels because we loved his sire and dam, and the litters they came from.  His show career started with a Best In Sweeps and he finished with 4 majors.  His free flowing side gait, clean up and back, lovely head, and dark coat make him an eye catcher.  His is siring some very nice puppies that have lovely, liveable temperaments, beautiful, manageable coats, and long necks.  He is a very soft, liveable dog and has produced some excellent health.  Of the 8 we know of, 6 have OFA'd with Excellent hips!  He has 10 Champions to date, and we expect more.  Fossie now lives with Gary and Carol Thompson, and he sleeps on their bed and lives the life of "riley", along with his daughter, Abby.

That same New Mexico weekend, Fossie took a major and we were thrilled.  This time under Puis Davern.

A quick photo of Foster at 5 years.  That's his coat folks with no particular care.  He's a coat growing machine.

A photo taken at 6, since we hadn't done any Ads for Fossie in a long time, and we felt he should be "seen" again".  Thanks Leeanne.  You encouraged me to get this done!
