Lusca Sparkle (Tara) - Irish Setter female.

Tara is the mother of Rusty and Kate. She is the "old lady" of our kennels , a strong powerful female with bottomless stamina. Everything about Tara is BIG ! Her personality , her ground treatment and her work rate . Upwind , downwind , cheek wind , Tara has covered many , many , miles for us in pursuit of game . She never gives up on a bird , sometimes the only way to stop her running  is to put on the lead ! Hunting is her life , followed a close second by coming indoors and lying by the fire . One of Meryl`s favourites .

Tara has a Field trial award., However ,  Tara thinks Field trials are "too much" ! Too much standing around , too much talking , too much drinking coffee , too much being on the lead !
Litter sister to Int. F.T.Ch. Lusca Finn, winner of the Irish Championship 2003. Also the winner of many Open Stakes, owned and handled by Ms A J E Brown. Please see links to Ardoon gundog site on Contact Us page.
