Irish Setter Club of San Diego

For Owners and Friends of the Irish Setter breed.

Description

The Irish Setter Club of San Diego (ISCSD) was established in 1968 and incorporated in 1974. We held our first banquet and installation of officers in January of 1969. Over the next 10 years, we held many fun matches; “ribbon” matches as they were known then. With our goal of holding an AKC sanctioned specialty and obedience trial in our sights, we began holding AKC B (OB) matches and finally our required AKC A (OA) match. We held our first AKC licensed specialty and obedience trial on May 16, 1980, with Irish Setter legend, Ted Eldridge, as our conformation judge. Since then, our club has continued to grow with the focus of protecting and advancing the interests of the Irish Setter. The club currently has meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at the Allied Gardens Recreation Center. Our specialty show is currently held in conjunction with the Silver Bay Kennel Club in February at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Other fun activities for our members and their Irish Setters include marching in the San Diego St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Balboa Park, dog play-days and picnics, an annual Awards Banquet, and a great Christmas Party with a gift exchange that involves “stealing” others’ gifts! Many of our club members are also involved with obedience, agility, and rally performance events, which allow them to work closely and have a lot of fun with their dogs. The ISCSD is also involved with Rescue and works closely with the Irish Setter Club of America and Irish Setter Club of Southern California Rescue volunteers as well as local animal shelters; taking Irish Setters into the program and finding them a new “forever home” and family. The Irish Setter Club of San Diego (ISCSD) was created to support and nurture the breed known as the Irish Setter. We are a group of people of widely varying backgrounds and interests who have a common bond of love for Irish Setters and a concern for their welfare. We urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club and the Irish Setter Club of America and to do everything possible to bring our breed’s natural qualities to perfection. To achieve these goals, we meet together once a month to share our ideas, learn what’s new in dogdom, and bring new members and new owners into contact with others who can help them better understand our breed. We also publish a bimonthly newsletter, “Irish Reflections," full of information covering all aspects of the breed. Annually, the ISCSD hosts a Specialty Show.
