So I'm pretty excited...

My mom is letting me get another dog!

Almost all of our dogs are show champions now, and we're only still showing 7 of them. And those 7 will be done in a few months. So..she agreed that I can get another dog

She doesn't care what breed I decide on, as long as its nothing puny xD I don't like most small breeds anyways. So I've narrowed it down to a Flat Coated Retriever, a Pointer, or an Irish Setter. I'm pretty settled on getting an Irish Setter though. My aunt is friends with the owners of <a href="http://www.avonfarmirishsetters.com/index.htm"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Avon Farm Irish Setters</a>, and co-owns/handles for them. I really like <a href="http://www.avonfarmirishsetters.com/alsoavailable.htm"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">these two</a> that they already have available. But, I also might wait for either -their- next litter, or my aunts next litter. My aunt bought <a href="http://www.avonfarmirishsetters.com/tommy.htm"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">this male</a> from them in early 2008 and he's produced wonderful show quality puppies for them so far. They're planning on breeding him again to one of their females. <a href="http://www.dancinsetters.com/tessy.html"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">Tessy</a> is currently number 4 Irish Setter in the country. So they might breed to her. And I LOVE her head, movement, and body structure. And on Tommy, he's got a beautiful head, and wonderful body structure, but his movement could be better. So I guess it all just depends. But, I'm pretty sure I'm going with an Irish Setter. I love those dogs<333 They're so sweet, and gentle and loyal

Anyways, I'll give everyone updates if anything else happens

Nope, I've only got Bernese Mountain Dogs and Newfoundlands atm. I'm experienced with most working and sporting breeds though

Flat Coats are Uh-May-Zinnng to show xD it's so fun x)

My mom grew up w/ an Irish and says they are one of the best dogs you could ever hope to have! The Irish was super loyal and loved kids to death! lol She remembers pulling on the dog's hair when she was a baby and the dog did nothing but roll over on her belly like she wanted to play. She also acted like a second mother to my mom and aunt. My grandma absolutely loves the breed too. If she could, she would raise them herself.... (Not enough land and time) I would recremend highly thinking about getting one of those. Oh, btw, your aunt's dog is stunningly beautiful! And both pups look so adorable... Either would be a fine choice to own and love and possibly show.
