The Kennel name INGELLA has been owned by Ingrid Young since 1986.   In September 2008 I invited Anita James to share the name, so it is now jointly owned under separate interests. 

I live in a small bungalow along with 4 English Setters and 3 Miniature Schnauzers, all mingling together in harmony on the Notts/Derbys Border.   My main breed is the English Setters.   I occasionally breed litters when I have wanted to keep one to show and I also Judge at Open Show level.   All my Setters are Hip Scored under the KC/BVA Scheme at around one year of age.  My big highlight in the show world being when I won the RESERVE DOG CHALLENGE CERTIFICATE with SH CH BELLESETT CAMPBELL OF INGELLA at the CRUFTS CENTENARY SHOW in JANUARY 1991.  In 2007 Hartsett As You Like It At Ingella won Best Special Puppy Dog at Crufts and the same year Wansleydale Waterloo to Ingella gained a CC and RCC.      I have owned 3 Junior Warrant winners, approx 7 dogs with Stud Book numbers, made up a Show champion Bellesett Campbell of Ingella, others with challenge Certificates and Reserve challenge Certificates.      I have also bred but in the ownership of other people, Setters with RCC's and a Junior Warrant namely Ingella Prairie Gold J.W. RCC who is owned by Sylvia Cole and now a Veteran, and Anitas bitch Ingella Pinch of Nutmeg with 2 RCC's.   I too will hopefully be taking delivery of Saga my new Blue dog puppy bred by Anita -  (Ingella Never Ending Saga)

ENGLISH SETTERS are not the easiest of breeds to live with and can at times be quite a handful.   On saying that they are so affectionate and loving, naughty but nice, very willfull and have a mind of their own.   One of their most annoying traits is 'throwing a deaf one' deliberately.   Yet you can tell them off and they still stand there wagging their tails.   They are very very boisterous and need plenty of exercise both road walking and off the lead galloping.   their coat is long and silky and must be regularly groomed thoroughly and any knots gently teased out.  It is necessary for health reasons to keep both their ears and feet trimmed but NEVER EVER THE BODY.   Every Breed can have health issues and English setters are no different.  They can have skin problems,  hip problems and deafness, which are the main ones -  and a dedicated Breeder will have tried to eradicate them as much as possible.  However, life has no guarantees.

ANITA lives down South in Herefordshire not far from the Malvern Hills with her husband Owen and Daughter Shannon.    She started showing about 2 years ago and has already won 2 RCC's with Ingella Pinch of Nugmeg  (Indi), which in itself is a great achievement with you first ever show dog.    Indi is just short of a couple of points towards getting her Show Certificate of Merit, which she will no doubt do with ease when she returns to the ring.    Indi was mated to Sh Ch bournehouse royal Quest and gave birth to her first small litter of l Bitch and 2 Dogs on the 22nd December, 2008.  An orange  bitch has been retained called Jenna (Ingella Never Ending Dream) .    Shannon, Anitas daughter is already a kean Junior Handler and is hoping one day to have a dog of her own to show.
