| Notnyl Simply Mistaken "Zeke" |
 |
| Zeke was born on the 31st of October, 2000. Halloween for those believers! His parents are Australian Champion Pendoric Aflame and his mother is Australian Champion Pendoric Red Rush. Nevada and Brazen are both lovely specimens who show the great characteristics of the loveable Irish Setter. Both of these have lovely pedigrees which were futhermore passed on to Zeke. I found the name Zeke on the internet about 4 years ago and was determined that the day I got a male dog, he HAD TO be named Zeke. This is quoted by my best junior handlers friends as " the coolest name". I thought it was the day I saw it. Here is a critique I had done of Zeke by a prominent All Breeds Judge when Zeke was 10 months: "Lovely dog, nice substance, lovely front and forechest, very strong level topline, needs more muscle, lovely drive from the rear, very happy on the move. Shows a lot of promise" (Update coming soon) Zeke is 26.5 inches (67.3 centimetres) at the withers, and weighs 57 pounds (26 kilograms) at 10 months. The full grown Irish Setter ideals for a male are 27 inches (68 centimetres) at the withers and 70 pounds (31 kilograms). As I said in the History page; Zeke has one sister in Toowoomba, QLD. He also has a brother who now lives on the opposite side of Australia (Perth) and is being shown by Jenny Davies. I wish Eli all the luck of the Irish. Zeke also has two brothers that still live at home with their breeder. Carson is an Australian Champion at JUST 18 months and Reno is not very far behind him. At a recent family reunion, all the boys were there (yes, Eli came back to the eastern states for a quick visit) and they are all growing up so fast. To Sally and Lynton: THANK YOU VERY MUCH for entrusting this loving, playful companion to me and I hope we can do you both proud by doing a bit more winning in the future! |
