I have a drawing of grooming on my website ( www.sureshot.ca ) in the breed section. I also made a dvd a few years ago explaining how to do it. It was mostly for my puppy people but I could send you a copy if you want. I actually want to redo it a...

This is a grooming technique that removes all dead hair by hair, it is time consuming but the dogs look wonderful afterwards, I handstrip all my Gordons, the coat is always glossy because there is no old hair giving a lack lustre appearance and th...

Matt, if you fancy a trip up to Hampshire I will be more than happy to teach you all you need to know about hand stripping and presenting your Gordon Setter, you can then choose which way to look after your girl's coat. As well as breeding and sho...

I would not recommend any of these products for a Gordons coat, they are great for labradors and for pet golden retrievers and cockers but not for a Gordon.

I have tried out lots of things in the past year and have now actually come to like the "coatminator" (from hub international), which is from the same company as the furminator and it really only strips the dead hair, i.e. it helps with handstripp...

Hi Matt,
yeah, we got another one;)
Actually, Jan - my boyfriend - bought a puppy for his mum. She live in the same house. It is her gordon setter. But we will take Centi to dog show and we will train her. So she is the member of our gordon crew;)

Hi Darja - My name is Matt not Mark ....

Yup, we're doing well - haven't really thought about showing Willow yet but she's getting better with training. I bought a gundog whistle and her recall is 50% better straight away - would love to see some fully field trained Gordons in action. What do you do with her on the long lead ?

Hi Mark,
how are you and Willow?
We are preparing for our 2nd Dog Show and still training on a field - Grace really like pheasants;-)
Yesterday we went to a vet, she has an infection her ears again;( Vet said that it could be allergy... but we will see;o)

It's great you got her from UGSR, they're doing a great job. Hope all goes well for the probation period.
We've not managed to get over to Arthur's Seat yet, actually, we're over on the other side of town, but he's run up and down the Pentlands and loved it!
Good luck with the grooming!

Gordon Prints

Whilst Willow was stalking some pigeons in town the other day, I had a chance to browse the windows of our local art shop - A painting of a Gordon ! Two Paintings ! Well, they're not exactly to my taste but one is quite good - http://www.sallymitchell.com/search_click.php?ai=23&ti=10&wi=&pi=8&si=&ii=13429&alt=

The artist is Paul Doyle, is you Google him you'll find others...
