Subject: Another great Red Setter Passes on

The previous message was about the death of a magnificent Red Setter, Ch Rock the World. She was an 8x NRSFTC Champion and 8x RU NRSFTC Champion as well as KY Open Shooting Dog Champion and a 4x High Performance winner. But more than anything,she was the beloved pet of Tim and Kris Hammons.
Today I learned that another great red dog had passed on. Ch Prosper died on December 2nd at 15 years of age. "Jimmy" had a long competitive career amassing a total of 85 placements including 6 championships and 6 runner-up championships. His most notable win was the Region 2 Am Shooting Dog Championship in 2001.
In the past few months, our club has lost some very notable red setters. Here are a couple more names that come to mind besides Rock the World and Prosper; the Colmores lost Hollywood, the Edwards lost Diddle and Come Back Shag Dancer and Chris Hall lost Gracie.... I'm sure, unfortunately there are many many more. Some red setters been great multiple champions. Other have simply been champions of our hearts. But all were loved, cherished and will truly be missed!
In the Feb March issue of the Whip, I'd like to pay tribute to dogs loved and lost. Have you lost a dog you'd like me to include? Please send me whatever information you feel is pertinent and any pictures you have. If possible, please send pictures and material via the internet to: flushingwhip@yahoo.com
If you would rather send the picture via US mail, I will scan and immediately mail back. Mail your material to:
Flushing Whip
5630 State Road at Red Setter Run
Kingsville, OH 44048
Please honor the dogs who served you so well-- in field trials, hunting venues, in your home and at your feet. Honor those who honored you. I hope to hear from you.

Yesterday we returned home from a field trial and found Rock the World curled up in her bed, having passed away sometime during the day. She had been slowly declining in the past few months, so it was not a great surprise.

She was a wonderful dog who gave us many a victory and many a thrilling performance, whether recognized by the judges or not. It was sheer joy to watch her run, and heartbreaking for both her and us when she just couldn't do it any more and we had to retire her.

We will have her cremated, then Tim and I will take the ashes to the CKWMA and go out on horseback, spreading the ashes at her favorite spots and rembering the good times.

While eagerly awaiting any news from Missiouri trial, I'm wondering if any NRSFTC member from Princeton, MN, owns a dog entered in the "Cutest Dog Contest" named MOXI.

I've been voting almost daily for this youngster since the contest started and have wondered all along just who she is! Any info would be helpful!

Oh, here's the URL for a photo of her:

Subject: Red Setters in PA Humane Society Facility...

The Indiana County PA Humane Society has informed us that they recently seized a kennel in the Blairsville-Greensburg area with numerous red setters. The National Red Setter Field Trial Club is assisting the Humane Society in finding rescue homes for these dogs. The dogs are a variety of ages and sexes, and some have socialization issues (very shy) due to the conditions at the time they were seized. If you or someone you know has an interest in possibly adopting one of these dogs, please contact the Indiana County Humane Society.

Phone number: 724-465-3977/7387.
Email: questions@incohumanesociety.com

Our club is aware of the individual who was operating this kennel, and these dogs are true red setters; we would be confident to say that they probably have hunting ability, but obviously, will need some socialization and training work. Also, like any red setter, they will make great companion dogs given the opportunity. Thanks in advance for any assistance you might be able to offer.
There are pictures of the dogs available on the Humane Society website:
