WELCOME TO THE HOME OF

INGELLA

 

The Kennel name INGELLA has been owned by Ingrid Young since 1986.    

 

 

I live in a small bungalow along with 5 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,  the same year Wansleydale Waterloo to Ingella gained a CC and RCC and in 2010 won veteran Dog at Cufts.  I have owned 3 Junior Warrant winners, approx 8 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 James's bitch Ingella Pinch of Nutmeg with 2 RCC's and Ingella Black Magic again owned by sylvia who gained his Stud Book No.   

 

ENGLISH SETTERS are not the easiest of breeds to live with and can at times be quite a handful. As puppies they look like a picture off a chocolate box cover, but dont be fooled.  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 (these are outlined in a little more depth under Health Issues) -  and a dedicated Breeder will have tried to eradicate them as much as possible.  However, life has no guarantees.

 

 

   MY INITIATION INTO

 ENGLISH SETTERS

  

It has been mentioned in my guestbook that I should show a photo of the name behind my Affix.    So I thought this would also be an ideal opportunity to give a brief introduction into how I got into the world of English Setters in the first place, and also how the name Ingella was formed.

 

I owned my very first English Setter at the age of l5, Registered as Juno of Beachmount.  She was a blue belton bitch with a left black eye patch.   At the time English Setters were quite rare and we ordered her from a Kennel in Nottingham.   The day we went to collect her she had arrived by train from Scotland and was still in the wooden box with the metal strip round the top full of straw.  Some years later We decided it would be nice to have puppies, so my parents duly took her somewhere in Sheffield to be mated.  As she wasnt too happy about the situation we were asked to leave her and collect her in a few days time.   She never did get mated and it wasnt long afterwards we found out she had a very large tumour on her ovaries and unfortunately never made it through the operation.

 

After many years I have just located a couple of photos of 'Juno' - I think at the time she was around 4 years old as I know and I was about 19 or 20. !!!!!!!!!!!!   Wow dont I look a thin 9 st in those days.   How things inflate over the years.

dont know how but we registered her  JUNO OF BEACHMOUNT 

 

My next English was after I had left home and settled down a little.   He was a blue belton dog called Thixandale Charon (Snoopy) bred by John Butkus in Nottingham 1986.  I was encouraged to show him, but never really excelled - both of us being new to the show scene.   I then decided to have a friend for Snoopy and purchased Bournehouse El Dorado of Ingella an Orange belton dog (Brie) from the Bournehouse Kennels 1989 - and this is where the Website really begins.  If you have a look under OUR DOGS at the bottom of the page there is a list of information on all the individual dogs that have been shown over the years.   

 

I decided I needed an Affix  (Kennel Club name)  if I was to be serious about showing, and hence I obtained the name INGELLA.   Derived from Ing (part of my christian name) and Ella (a friends Champion Golden Retriever that I really admired) 

 

1989 shows the first photo of me at blackpool championship Show when Campbell won his 3rd CC and became Show Champion Bellesett Campbell of Ingella.    I am sitting outside the Beer Tent celebrating my win and also the same day won Best of Breed and shortlisted in the Gundog Group. In fact if my memory serves me right he ended up winning Best of Breed on another occasion, also being shortlisted again in the Gundog Group.
