WillieWalker.net & English Setter Database
You are here:
Within the following sites we would very much like to introduce you to our English Setters Ch. Walker William Nobleheart von der Guldegg "Willie Walker", Ticket to the Top von der Guldegg "Tammy" and Fanchon Return To Sender Gigi "Miss Lilly" and to a lot from the world of the English Setter:
The emphasis lies with the comtemplation of the History of the English Setter, regarded from different points of view and continuously upgraded, but you find there also a considerable collection of art, miscellaneous collectibles, ads, cards, stickers and stamps.
Last not least there are some general dog topics, such as horoscopes, humor and quotes.
Do spare some time too and become absorbed in our "Willie Walker English Setter Database". There is an abundance of valuable information about our dogs’ ancestors to be found.
Latest News:
Willie Walker celebrated his 8th birthday with a little barbecue :) It was a hot Summer day so he could enjoy his b-day present, a doggy swimming pool from Connie, and of course also a new toy was among his presents, fitting to the pool a little shark. More pics in the photo album!

at the national CAC Show in Sarvar, Hungary.
She was owner handled by Conny.
We are all very proud of this success.
On March 3rd 2012 Penny, Silvanus Penelope, gave birth to 3/2 wonderful puppies. The proud sire is Bruce, Latin Lover the Boss. Penny is Willie Walker's half sibling from paternal line and Bruce is related to Miss Lilly - have a look at the puppies' pedigree here. If you want to see more, please go to Aleksandra's website.
With great sadness I must tell you that Willie Walker's litter brother Cody (Wag'N Tail Just Tri Me Cody von der Guldegg) died last December, diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes; a dog whose name is by request of his owner not mentioned (see Guestbook Entry from May 1st 2012) lost his fight against the same illness in January and Kenzo (Ropin' the Wind von der Guldegg) is, as far as I know, still fighting it. Apart from feeling the deepest regrets for their owners, I am very distressed, as both my beloved dogs are descending from the same line - grand dam is Nashville Wonder Star of Snowdrift, who died at the age of six years of above mentioned illness.
The complete results and some thoughts about this show you will find here. Please participate in the latest Poll on Mike Brown's website: "The Judging".
