STARCHELLE

Irish Setters & Irish Wolfhounds.

Rachel with Joshua (SHCH Starchelle Chicago Bear) winning BIS at Crufts.

We have been established with Irish Setters for more than 25 years but only recently had the pleasure of owning Irish wolfhounds

Tony has been established with Weimaraners for more than 25 years under the TRILITE affix, making up the first Weimaraner Champion in Ireland and being the first person ever to go best in show at a general championship show in Ireland with a Weimaraner. Also Green Star breed record holder with CH/IRCH/INT SHCH Kingsbeam Murphy Himself at Trilite (70 Green Stars 4 CACIB`s 3 CC`s)

A small Northern Irish family home deep in the countryside overlooking the shores of Lough Neagh.

Kingfisher Cottage

All our dogs live in this family environment running free by day and lying by the fireside in the evening.

  (The 'kennel' word is never used at Kingfisher Cottage)

Although we describe ourselves as small we like to think we have enjoyed some huge successes in the show ring with all our breeds!

Rachel awards CCs and Green Stars in Irish Setters, Tony awards CCs in Weimaraners & GSP`s and under IKC rules Tony is passed to award Green Stars in almost all the Gundog breeds and eight breeds of hounds as well as both Gundog and Hound groups.
