IN THE EARLY 1970’S, WE BEGAN OUR KENNEL
WITH A MOVE TO LONG ISLAND AND OUR FIRST IRISH SETTERS. THEY WERE “CLANCY”
AND “COLLEEN” WHO LIVED TO BE MORE THAN 16 ½ AND 15 ½ YEARS OF AGE,
RESPECTIVELY, AND PROVIDED US WITH YEARS OF PLEASURE IN THE FIELD AND
THREE LITTERS WHICH LASTED US FOR MANY YEARS. BY 1988 WE HAD THE LAST OF
THIS LINE AND THE BEST DOG WE EVER HAD. IT WAS THEN, THAT WE DISCOVERED
THAT THE IRISH SETTER HAD DIMINISHED GREATLY IN AMERICA. AS WE TRAVEL
EXTENSIVELY IN OUR “REAL LIVES,” AND SAW MANY BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY IRISH
SETTERS IN SPAIN, GREAT BRITAIN, AND EVEN IN THE SOVIET UNION, WE DECIDED
THAT IN ORDER TO GET WHAT WE WANTED, WE WOULD HAVE TO START OUR OWN
BLOODLINES AND WE FOUND OURSELVES GETTING INTO BREEDING.
OUR IDEAL WAS TO GET AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO OUR ORIGIAL
PAIR, OUR “STANDARD” …IRISH SETTERS WITH THEIR GREAT LOOKS, BUT WITH HEART
AND TALENT IN THE FIELD, AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, GOOD HEALTH,
TEMPERAMENT AND HOPEFULLY, LONGEVITY. WE BROUGHT TWO FEMALES AND ONE MALE
FROM NORTHERN IRELAND FROM AN OUTSTANDING BREEDER. WE TRIED THEM IN BOTH
FIELD AND SHOWS, AND THE POTENTIAL WAS THERE. MAINLY, WE LOVED AND ENJOYED
HAVING THEM. BELIEVING, AS WE DO, THAT OUT CROSSING IS THE KEY TO GOOD
HEALTH AND AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN A BREEDING PROGRAM, WE BEGAN TO ADD
SELECTED AMERICAN BLOODLINES TO OUR KENNEL. AS A RESULT OF THIS, WE
PRODUCED SHOW CHAMPIONS, JUNIOR HUNTERS, OBEDIENCE TITLE HOLDERS, AND HAVE
HAD THE PLEASURE OF MAKING A GREAT MANY PEOPLE HAPPY WITH GOOD QUALITY
FAMILY DOGS. ONE FAMILY HAS A CANADIAN SHOW CHAMPION, ANOTHER A BEAUTIFUL
BITCH WITH A C.D. AND A JUNIOR HUNTER TITLE. A FAMILY IN NORTH CAROLINA
HAS AN OUTSTANDING THERAPY DOG. IN 1995, WE SAW AN EXCEPTIONAL IRISH SETTER AT A FIELD
TRIAL, WE DECIDED THAT HE WOULD BE OUR NEXT AMERICAN BLOODLINE AND WE BRED
HIM TO OUR “BIDDY” (LITTER MATE OF CH. REDBRAMBLE BARKIS IS WILLING,) WITH
EXCELLENT RESULTS. HE IS RUMRAISIN ON THE LINE CGC,TDI, CD , J.H.
V.C. HE SIRED TEN MAGNIFICENT PUPS BY OUR “KATE”. IN ADDITION, WE NOW HAVE
ANOTHER ALL-IRISH IMPORT . THIS WILL BE A NEW BLOODLINE UTILIZING A
BEAUTIFUL BITCH WHO HAS A SOLID PEDEGREE FROM DUBLIN BASED MAINLY OF THE
GREAT IRISH CHAMPION SH.C. ARDBRACCAN ARISTOCRAT. AS WE OUT-CROSS MORE AND
MORE, WE SEE BETTER AND BETTER RESULTS. AT PRESENT, EACH GENERATION IN OUR KENNEL REPRESENTS A
PEDIGREE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNIQUE IN THE WORLD AND THOSE BREEDERS THAT
HAVE USED OUR BLOODLINES TO OUT CROSS THEIR BREEDING PROGRAM HAVE BEEN
PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS. WHAT WE HAVE ARE DOGS THAT STILL HAVE ALL THE
BEAUTY AND STYLE OF THE IRISH SETTER WITH ALL THE INTELLIGENCE AND
TEMPERAMENT AND TRAINABILITY AS WELL AS INCREDIBLE TALENT AS
HUNTERS....THE VERY REASON THAT THEY WERE BRED. WE CAME FULL CIRCLE IN 1999 WITH THE ARRIVAL OF A PUP
FROM CH. CROSSHAVEN CRYSTAL BY CH. SHANGRILA SWEET SUCCESS....TWO
OUTSTANDING CANADIAN CHAMPIONS. “CRYSTAL” IS FROM OUR FIRST BREEDING OF
“BIDDY” TO “MEL”.... RUMRAISIN ON THE LINE. WE NOW HAVE THE BEST OF
IRELAND, THE U.S. AND CANADA IN OUR PROGRAM. THAT WILL ADD A NEW SIRE TO
OUR PROGRAM AND HIS FIRST LITTER IS DUE IN SEPTEMBER, 2000 (SEE LITTER
ANNOUNCEMENT.) WHAT THE LAST TEN YEARS HAS PRODUCED FROM THREE IMPORTED
BLOODLINES FROM IRELAND AND ENGLAND, COMBINED WITH THREE OF THE BEST
AMERICAN BRED DOGS IS TEN COMPLETELY NEW PEDIGREES THAT WE HOPE WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO THE EVER-DIMINISHING GENE POOL IN THE UNITED STATES AND
CONTINUE THE POPULARITY OF THE IRISH SETTER AS A BEAUTIFUL COMPANION IN
BOTH THE HOME AND FIELD WITH UNLIMITED POTENTIAL IN ALL AREAS. AT OUR
REUNION ON APRIL 30, 2000, FAMILIES BROUGHT REPRESENTATIVES FROM TEN
GENERATIONS. TEN GENERATIONS AT REDBRAMBLE REUNION APRIL, 2000 REDBRAMBLE HALL OF FAME REDBRAMBLE MR. PICKWICK C.D.
