| The Past |
| English, Irish & Gordon Setters. |
| Ch Balliol Bon Accord CD 'Tweed' Tweed had a successful show career and took up obedience late in life, competing for the first time at the age of 10. Despite this she gained multiple 1st places as well as a best Novice Dog in Trial |
| Ch Avvier Merlin CDX 'Merlin' Merlin was the first English Setter to have both show and obedience titles and was a multiple Best in Group winner & Runner Up In Show winner. |
| Below are some of our most successful past stars in both the show and obedience rings. |
 |
| Ch Gunthunda Silver Sascha 'Sascha' Sascha was our foundation English Setter bitch. Despite not enjoying the show ring she was a Runner Up in Specialty Show winner |
 |
| One of our Gordon Litters. |
 |
| Ch Warchant Talisman CDX (Standing) & Ch Warchant Patina CD (Seated) Caillie and Abby were our foundation Gordons and were both excellent performers in both the show and obedience rings. Caillie's show career was cut short after he was hit by a car aged 18 months, however he was a much used stud dog and is behind many Gordons today. Abby had to passes towards her CDX title when she died of cancer aged 6. |

Sebastian, (Sandella Step In Time) was our first setter and started us in dogs, Emma, (Shannondale Emma Peel) was our second Irish and although we never bred a litter they were both beautiful dogs. Misty, Our Silky Terrier, had a go at showing but decided obedience was more her scene. She was one of the first Silky Terriers to gain an obedience title and would have gained her CDX , had she not had to retire. |

| Ch Balliol Beau Brummel (seated) and Ch Balliol Blythe Spirit (lying down). Smudge and Blythe were two of our most successful show dogs, Smudge being a Multi Best in Show Winner under specialist Blythe also performed very well in the ring, however, she was naturally out shone by Smudge. |
