Solid Gold's Yoga
Yoga is a phenomenon. She will always have a special place in my personal English Setter story. In everyday life, she is so balanced and deeply relaxed. Nothing upsets her or causes her discomfort so that at times she gives the impression being indifferent or even bored. However – just a quiet whistle, a finger-snapping and Yoga is 100% awake. In the fields, she takes off like a headstrong rocket and inspires us by her reliability and her finest scenting powers. Nickname "Punktator": pointing birds is her purpose in life. If there are birds to be found, Yoga will find them. Her attitude in pointing is often spectacular and amazing.

Losey du Val du Ruth
Losey is the newest member of our family. Within a short time we realized that he is a highly-social, friendly and balanced representative of his breed. He delights me especially with his high natural hunting qualities. Bird finding, his excellent style of pointing, backing other dogs and his strong natural relationship with his handler are all part of the excellent inheritance from his famous ancestors. He is a true English Setter.

Companions
These are the English Setters that joined my path of life in one way or another. Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. They all were unique and taught me a lot about the training and handling of British Pointing Dogs – each one in his own way. They enriched my experience, gave me a lot of pleasure - and sometimes sorrow. They all have one thing in common: they remain unforgotten.| DYER’S CACCIA (born 02.04.1995; Emsjäger's Tom - Hansdahl's A. Ronja Roverdatter) |
 Caccia was my first English Setter, she opened the door to the cynological and the hunting world. As a 12-year-old girl, we had our first experience in field work together. Caccia accompanied me through all my personal ups and downs of life; “together” we passed the hunting and driving licence, high school diploma and university degree. We shared every hunting experience, moved to different cities together, and was with me when I started my professional life. We shared our growing up. Caccia’s bloodlines were from Italian/Danish working dogs which is why she was a really passionate hunter. We passed the traditional German hunting dog education (hunting, pointing, retrieving, obedience, blood tracking etc.) as well as the classical Field Trials for British Pointing Dogs. |
| DYER’S JOSEFINE (born 11.02.2002; Dyer’s Caccia - Dyer’s Buddy) |
 Josy was very similar to her mother. A reliable huntress, a dog for practical shooting. The Danish bloodline showed in her high prey drive and great hunting passion, especially in water. When it came to good-naturedness and reliability, Josy was unrivalled. |
| EMSJÄGER’S WITTA (born 19.03.2002; Emsjäger's Ozelot - Dyer's Buddy) |
 Witta came to me for training dog and with her tenacity gave me valuable, lasting lessons concerning the education of dogs. Although from the same sire, she differed strongly in her behavior and reactions from her half-sister Josy. Very stubborn and at the same time very sensitive. Not in a negative way, but a very different type of setter. |
| DYER’S ORYX (born 16.12.2007; Dyer's Josefine - Vitus de l’Echo de la forêt) |
 Pet name "Umani". Josy's daughter and third generation of "my" English setters, all from the kennel "Dyers". The combination of the Italian-Danish motherline with the French fatherline somehow led to the fact that Umani was very differed in type and character to her predecessors: always highest speed, an inexhaustible need for exercise, low bonding to the handler. But still as friendly and lovely as any of my other Setters. |
| SICILIAS BELLA (born 02.07.2012; Arpa del Zagnis - Glaukos) |
 A really sensitive dog. High natural abilities, tricolor bitch from Italian-Belgian bloodlines with an elegant, catlike movement. Finest English setter style. |
| CAOS DEL ZAGNIS (born 09.05.2013; Alla Aldimis - Sodo del Zagnis) |
 Pretty little Italian. Stylish, highly promising natural abilities. Due to health problems Caos left us far too soon. |
| NANA DE CORIAM (born 09.05.2013; Hutte de Coriam - Leggiadro de Coriam) |
 The small "Brownie" comes from a Belgian breeder, with 100% Italian bloodlines. The fact that liver English setters are generally described as being more sensitive, Nana proved quite well, something I found very fascinating. She delighted us with her elegant style of running and her biddability. |
