Sue, along with her husband Neil (who is a Gundog Judge) successfully exhibited and bred Irish Setters for many years.

Many Australian Champions proudly carry the prefix Irishmoor and a few have been fortunate enough to achieve the ultimate win of "Best In Show", at all Breeds and Specialty Shows. Another proud achievement was breeding Best of Breed and Reserve challenge dogs at the 1997 Sydney Royal Easter Show, and a few years later Gundog Best in Group at the Melbourne Royal Show.

Irishmoor have the honour of being the first Irish Setter breeder in NSW to import frozen semen from the USA (Courtwood Kennels) and successfully breed through artificial insemination, two litters of nine and seven pups respectively. The progeny of this breeding went on to become top winners and proudly represent the two countries of their ancestors. One of these dogs from the "K" litter attained his Grand Champion title in April 2003 (1000 challenge points), Grand Ch. Irishmoor Ketari (A.I.) owned and handled by Vic Gray. We at Irishmoor congratulate "Rocky" and Vic on their latest Achievement. They have continually made us proud and have shared the news of many big wins over the years.

In 1995 Sue & Neil scaled down the “Big Dog” side of their lives and happily settled upon the beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as an alternative breed to exhibit and breed in the Irishmoor prefix. Daughter Teigan, who is now 13yrears old, has been successfully handling not only our own dogs in the show ring for several years but is often called upon to handle other exhibitors Cavaliers too. Both Sue and Teigan enjoy training the dogs for the obedience trial ring, and more recently our new fun activity of agility training.

Neil, who still holds his Gundog Judging License, prefers to spend his leisure time fishing or developing his Sportfishing web site (for those who also like to drop a line).
