Santera Kyran’s Charmer

Santera Kyran’s Charmer - Kyran is a full little brother to both Evie and Vegas. He shows promise and attitude. Born in September 2007 he still needs training . Hopefully, we will enroll him in a class in the fall of 2008. He reminds us much of Saber, AM. CAN. CH. Santera Sterling Saber, as puppy with the older style of Irish Setter showing through. |

CAN. CH. Santera Silver Saxon - Saxon is
a very sound boy who resembles the old Wilson Farm males.
His dam, McBoscage Marcella, was leased from Bill and Karen
Kimmel to breed to Saber. The old blood-lines were disappearing
so we wanted to try to save them before they were gone.
He has the beautiful dark coat, a great temperament, and
excellent bone. He was bred to Santera Charmin' Kismet and
produced 11 puppies. |

in only 4 shows as a puppy: Best Puppy at the Ohio Specialty,

and first in Ottawa All Setter Specialty 9-12 month class.
We then pulled him and did not bring him out till he was
almost three years old. Now at four years, he has 12 points
including one major. |

Santera
Charmin's Kismet - Kismet is one of the last
females we have here at Santera to breed since our girls
are all getting older. She is a very sound female but on
the small side. She has a lovely head and body and loves
to move. She had a litter with our AM.
CAN. CH. Santera Touch of Sage. Finally, when she was
almost four we brought her out into the show ring. She took
Reserve at the Irish Setter Club of Canada's National. Then
she proceeded to quickly pick up 8 points in the states
in very limited showing.

most he was ever shown was 17 times in one year. He was

Farm Santera Hope (9 points) - Hope was a
beautiful dark female from Tristan's last litter. At 6 months
she took Reserve at the CT Specialty. We stopped showing
her at 18 months to test breed her since both her parents

She was the hope that we could save something from her sire.
She certainly fulfilled that dream. |

(AM. CAN. CH. Santera Limited Edition and AM.
CAN. CH. Santera Silver Saxon and one Canadian champion,

Ballymera's Whisperin' Wind |
Ballymera's
Whisperin' Breeze (14 points - one major) - Mariah
was the first setter I had purchased in over 20 years.
I decided I wanted a female to breed to Saber and had
been impressed by the offspring of her sire. In the litter
out of Saber there is one AM. CAN. Champion (AM. CAN.
CH. Santera Limited Edition) and one CAN.
CH. Santera Diamond O'Dugan. Several others in the
litter were pointed but not finished. In Mariah's second
litter out of Saber's son, AM.

CAN.
CH. Santera Southern Sashay (14 points) - Shea
finished her Canadian Championship in 3 shows. She was a
flashy mover with a great showman attitude. She went WB
at the Irish Setter Club of Milwaukee in 7/00. She suffered
an injury in the fall of '00 so may never be able to finish
but what a lovely girl. |

CAN. CH. Santera Diamond O'Dugan
|
CAN.
CH. Santera Diamond O'Dugan - Dugan, a son
of Saber and Mariah, is a very balanced sound boy. He was
shown very little as a young dog since we were busy showing
Sage and Saxon. We finally took him out at three on a very
limited basis where he picked up a Reserve and a 3 point
major. Since we could not use him in our breeding program
due to the close breeding to our girls, we let him go to
a home in Canada where he finished his Canadian Championship
and sired a nice litter for them. He is OFA Good and genetically
clear of PRA. |

AM.
CAN. CH. Santera Touch of Sage - Sage
is a lovely big elegant male who reminds me a lot of his
grandfather, Lightning. He has the temperament we love to
see here . He has been bred to Santera
Silver Sileen, which produced Santera
Dream Maker, and just recently bred to Santera Charmin'
Kismet, a Mariah/Saxon daughter. |

Santera Silver Sileen
|
Santera
Silver Sileen - Sileen is the sister to Saxon.
She is a very sound female but true to the old Wilson Farm
bloodlines she is very slow to mature. She was bred to Sage
so she has one litter that will soon be a year old. As a
young female she did take BEST OPPOSITE IN SWEEPS to her
brother, Saxon. Her daughter out of Sage - Santera
Dream Maker - is pointed and has done well in the breed
ring. |
