INTRODUCTION ABOUT OURSELVES / SISSEJUHATUSEKS MEIST ENDIST

My name is Kätlin.
We are living at the sea at the most northern tip of mainland in Estonia.
In winter it is cold here, the sea gets frozen and often the wind and the snow make the roads impossible to get through.
In summer, on the contrary, it is living like in a paradise: the fresh breeze from the sea refreshens one's mind in the heat of the air.
For keeping dogs it is just the perfect place: lots of untouched and wild paths and places in the woods and at the seaside for running and playing. The life here is away from active civilization and is quiet and romantic.
I do not imagine the life of gundogs like Max and Pätu in the middle of city-houses!!

I have been interested in dogs since childhood already. I was 12-years old when with simply huge promises (like: I will feed and take care of the dog by myself... etc.) my mummy and daddy brought me a Shi-Tzu dog named Teffi. Teffi lived up to 12-years, when after a very sad accident (fire in the flat caused by the New-Years Eve rocket) he died.
After changes in my private life, an Afgan Hound - Dash Demon appeared to my own family now. Dash deserved his name in the whole sense - he was a real Afgan. As he had no perfect appearance of the show-dog, I was dreaming about the dog with whom I could attend dog-shows also. But we did not want to offend Dash in his privacy with getting a new family pet, so we decided to wait for a while.
After Dash had crossed the line of the Rainbow-Bridge, the life seemed to be very-very empty.
So, it was just a coincidence or the faith, that we got a new member to our family, the English Setter - Max. From the very beginning already Max confirmed the saying the more experienced setter-owners love to say:
HE IS NOT A DOG, BUT A SETTER!!!!
Being under the magic spell of Max (I have to admit we still are!), in the year 2001, another English Setter - Batman alias Pätu, came into our lives.
The year 2003 was very important for us: the English setter Happy is now the full-rights member of our family.
In summer 2006 little energetic English setter girl Annie came here from England.
In 2007, after thinking a little bit, I applied for the kennel name and so the SEASET kennel was established.
Annie has proved to be a beautiful example of the English setter breed with lovely character, besides she is healthy and has strong instincts for birds - why not try to breed from her!
In 2009 a litter to Annie was born, from which we kept a bitch puppy Grace to live at our house.
After a long wait in 2013 Robin and Shanty joined our family.
In 2015 there came Vicky.
At the beginning of 2017 Branson joined our pack.
At this homepage I would like to show photos and stories from the life of my dogs.

Minu nimi on Kätlin.
Elame Eestimaa kõige põhjapoolsemas mandrinukas mere kaldal.
Talvel on siin külm, meri jäätub ja tihti tuiskab tuul ja lumi maanteed hange.
Suvel aga on seevastu lausa paradiislik olemine: mereõhk kosutab ja ergastab kuumavas läitsakus meeli.
Koerte pidamiseks on siinne paik lausa imeline: palju on puutumata metsaradu ja mereranda jooksmiseks-hullamiseks, elu-olu on vaikne ja linnamürast eemal .
Selliste jahikoertega nagu Max ja Pätu ei kujutaks oma elu linnamajade keskel üldse ette!

Lapsest saati olen huvi tundnud koerte vastu. Olin 12-aastane kui ema-isa mulle suurte lubaduste peale (et käin jalutamas ise, hoolitsen ja söödan ise ...) võtsid Shi-Tzu tõugu koera nimega Teffi . Teffi elas kõrge vanuseni - ta oli 12-aastane kui hukkus õnnetult uus-aastaööl raketist süttinud korteris tulekahjus vingumürgitusse.

Pärast mitmeid elumuutusi ilmus nüüd juba minu enese perre Afganistaani Hurda tõugu koer - Dash Demon. Dash Demon osutus täielikult oma nime vääriliseks (tõlkes: "tormav deemon"), olles iseloomult tõeline afgaan! Kuna Dashil polnud head näitusevälimikku ja näitustel me temaga eriti ei osalenud, igatsesin endale sellist koera, kes oleks ka näitustel edukam. Et aga mitte Dashi tema ainuisikulises olemuses mitte solvata, otsustasime oodata teise koera soetamisega.
Pärast Dashi teispoolsusesse minekut tundus meie elu ilma koerata väga kõle.
Niisiis, saatuse tahtel ja juhuse läbi saime oma perre uue liikme - Inglise Setteri tõugu koera: Maxi. Maxi iseloom andis kohe algusest peale kinnitust mõttele, mida teadjamad setteripidajad tavatsevad ütelda:
TA EI OLE KOER, VAID SETTER! Maxi lummas oma olemusega meie tervet perekonda niivõrd, et aastal 2001 tuli meie perekonda veel üks Inglise Setter: Batman alias Pätu.
Aasta 2003 oli meie jaoks väga tähtis: Inglise setter Happy on nüüd meie pere täieõiguslik liige.
Suvel 2006 tuli Inglismaalt siia väike energiline Inglise setteri tüdruk Annie.
2007.a., pärast läbimõtlemist, tegin avalduse kennelinime saamiseks - nii sündis kennel SEASET.
Annie-st on saanud Inglise setteri tõu väärikas esindaja, kel on ka tõuliselt õige iseloom. Ta on terve ning tal on tugev jahiinstinkt. Miks mitte teda aretuses kasutada!
Nii sündiski 2009.a. Annie'l pesakond, millest jätsime endale emase kutsika Grace'i.
Pärast pikka ooteaega aastal 2013 tulid meie kennelisse Robin ja Shanty.
Vicky liitus meie perega aastal 2015.
Ja kauaoodatud Branson tuli meile elama aprillis 2017.
Sellel kodukal püüangi avaldada pildikesi-jutukesi oma koerte elust.
