produce dogs with the potential of becom- ing Dual Champions and maintaining the essence of the breed. Proof of strong genet- ics titled dogs achieving National Field Championship, National Amateur Field Championslhip, Field Champions, Ama- teur Field Champions and Master Hunter. What is the essence of the breed— maintaining breed type and maintaining function—does it conform and does it perform. Breed essence can be judged by looking and the number of dogs earning Dual Champions plus Champion/Ama- teur Field Champions plus Champions/ Master Hunters to the number of dog registrations. Th ere is no one single fac- tor that determines it—breed popularity, show ability, inherent field ability and the collective interests of the breed support- ers. Between the years 2002-2007, Irish Setters earned 283 JH, 24 SH, 11 MH, 26 FC and 11 AFC. Since then we have seen an increase in dogs achieving perfor- mance titles including approximately 45 Master Hunters.

I have been involved with Irish Set- ters for 40 years and the last fifteen years I have seen an increase appreciation of the Dual champion Irish Setter, and as a result more Dual minded breeders dedi- cated to producing Dual Irish Setters. With continued support dedicated breed- ers and owners, the Irish Setter is and will continue to be a beautiful, aristocratic bird dog. BIO Jeannie Wagner has been involved with Irish Setters for 40 years, and has always believed the Irish Setter could do it all. Over the years, Karrycourt Irish Setters have earned titles in obedience, ISCA VC titles, Hunt Test Titles, Cham- pionships, Field Championships, Ama- teur Field Championship and her special girl, Dual Champion/AFC Karrycourt’s Rose O’Cidermill ROM. Th e Karrycourt bloodline has become foundation stock or has been incorporated into several other Dual-minded bloodlines.

Th e sport of dogs has always been a fam- ily a ff air and they are on their third gen- eration of dog enthusiasts. Like her chil- dren before them, Jeannie’s grandchildren are currently involved with the 4-H dog program, showing their dogs in obedience, showmanship and agility. Jeannie is retired from competition, but she continues to support the Irish Set- ter and the sport. She is currently an o ffi - cer in Irish Setter Club of Ohio, Associated Bird Dog Clubs of Ohio, Lorain County 4-H Dog Council and has served as an o ffi - cer in several other clubs. She has chaired many committees for ISCO and ISCA and other organizations. Jeannie has received Dog Writers of America awards for articles published in the “AKC Gazette” and “Memo to Mem- bers”. Her article on Field Trial Gallery Etiquette published in the “Gazette” was later adapted and included in the “AKC Field Trial Rules and Standards” guide- lines. She currently writes a performance column “High Tails” for the “Memo”.
