BELLEAIRE IRISH SETTERS AND ABYSSINIAN CATS

"Life is to short to hunt with an ugly dog." 

Someone once said this, I wish it had been me.  I was just lucky enough to read it.

I enjoy all dogs and cats but especially like the breeds I have chosen.  I have known from childhood that I would own an Irish Setter.  I named my first Irish Setter 5 years before I owned him.  Click on Irish Setter for more information.

Minnesota, my home state, is cold and snowy in the winter months.   One January Sunday I choose to go to a Cat Show just to have something to do.   This is where I saw my first Abyssinian.  I fell in love and decided to buy one.  Twenty years later I am even more in love with the breed.  Click here to learn more about The Abyssinian Cat.

As a person who has spent many years loving and enjoying my dogs I feel it is necessary to give back to some of the animals that need some help. Click here to find out about my favorite Humane Society.
