Oct 2007 - I hope you enjoy my new Web Site which is still under construction - being self taught it may take a little while to get up and running.  

We all live in a small bungalow - English Setters and Miniature Schnauzers all mingling together in harmony on the Notts/Derbys Border.

My Main breed is INGELLA English Setters which I have owned for over 30 years, I Breed litters occasionally when I have wanted to keep one to show and I  Judge at Open Show level. All my Setters are Hip Scored under the KC/BVA Scheme at a year old. My big highlight being when I won the Dog Reserve Challenge Certificate at the Crufts Centenary Show.   Last year 2007 my highlight being HARTSETT AS YOU LIKE IT AT INGELLA who won Special Puppy Dog at Crufts and WANSLEYDALE WATERLOO TO INGELLA who gained a CC and RCC.

English Setters are not the easiest of Breeds to live with - they can be quite a handful.    On saying that they are so affectionate and loving.  Naughty but nice.   Willfull, have a mind of their own and one of the 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 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 and any knots gently teased out.   They are also a trimmed breed - Ears, Neck and Feet but I must stress NEVER THE BODY. 

I have owned 3 Junior Warrant Winners, several dogs with Stud book Numbers, a Show Champion Bellesett Campbell of Ingella, others with CC's and RCC's. I have also bred but in the ownership of other people two RCC winners and a Junior Warrant Winner.

Prior to falling in love with the minis I owned a Giant Schnauzer - one of the Bitches I bred is now a Champion. Ch. Ingella Fancy Dancing of Nenevale owned by Jenny Harrison-Smith

I have owned Miniature Schnauzers for about 8 years my first  being Nellie a Nenevale bitch who is still fighting fit. They really are lovely little people, willing to please but have strong characters. Apart from the fact they dont moult, they all live to a ripe old age of about l5. I currently own salt/pepper only. All my minis are from Eye Tested Stock and any puppies sold are Eye Screened at 6 weeks old and have a Certificate.

All puppies sold are Kennel Club Registered,  Wormed, Insured, Dew Claws removed, Microchipped, Grooming Chart, Rearing Guide, General Hints and Useful tips, Initial supply of food, Pedigree Certificate, and of course back up for life.  They are not sold for Export or Breeding. 

I am a member of several Breed Clubs for Minis and English and an Adviser for both Breeds in a Monthly Magazine.   

If you would like any help or advice on either of these Breeds, I would be only too pleased to talk to you via phone or email without any obligation whatsoever.   Thank you for taking the time to look at my site  -  Ingrid.
