Chuck and Heidi Moon of Moonsetter Gordon Setters in Askov, Minnesota were kind enough to allow us to import one of the two girls from their 'J' litter to Colorado. Jazzy completed her American Championship in 2014 and quickly followed with her Grand Championship in February of 2015. She has 5 Best of Breeds to her name and has received multiple Select Bitch awards at GSCA Specialties. As with all of the rest of the crew Jazzy is very birdy and earned her Junior Hunter title at 1 year of age. Even though she is not the oldest member of our crew she is clearly in charge. Sweet Jazzmine left a huge hole in our hearts when she crossed the bridge in 2021.

Blue, CH BlueTrane All Blues All Knight was the only boy from our first breeding in 2016. It was a small litter of 5 females and 1 boy. He was a special gift from our Jazzmine (GCH Moonsetter Jazz For The Trane JH) and Fraser (Can BIS GCH Can/Am CH Oakisle Knight Vision). He was a very sweet yet energetic boy that we miss tremendously to this day. An renal cell carcinoma claimed him at the young age of 6 in 2023. Before he left he did sire two wonderful boys who bear his image.
Bryna was added to our crew 5/18/2017 from the litter between Ceana and CH MacAlder Ace of Diamonds. This was an exceptional litter of 5 females Bryna gave us a fine litter of 10. We kept Carna who bears her mom's beautiful image and energetic spirit. She left us way too young and one major win short of her AKC championship.
Allie joined her brother Blue across the Bridge in 2023. This was a very tough year for us as we lost three of our young kids to cancers. Allie was a special gift from our Jazzmine (GCH Moonsetter Jazz For The Trane JH) and Fraser (Can BIS GCH Can/Am CH Oakisle Knight Vision) in 2016. She was a very sweet yet energetic girl that we miss tremendously to this day. She favored us with three healthy kids from our breeding with Cas (Oakisle Sassenach Castle Guard). We are excited to see the progress of Darcie and Duncan who are both very energetic members of our crew.
They saw you watching over them
As they finally closed their eyes
They smelt your scent as they breathed
In and out for the last time
They heard the way your voice broke
As you told them they were loved
They felt you as you held them
With your gentle, farewell touch
And now they watch each morning
As you pass their empty bed
They watch you lose composure
And they see the tears you shed
They hear you bear the silence
Of the footsteps that are gone
That walk across your heart each day
Like echoes of a song
They feel the pang of emptiness
You get when you’re alone
In moments when you realise
That they’re never coming home
But in their darkest moment
You were there to hold them tight
And they just want the same for you
So you can feel alright
So they’re sewing you a rainbow,
Weaving ribbons through the sky
So they can let you know
That life is good beyond goodbye
So next time it is raining
And the sun appears as well
Just feel and look and listen
To what they are trying to tell
They’re telling you it’s spring there
With its showers and its sun
Where there are endless fields for them
To play and stretch and run
They’re telling you they sleep upon
The biggest, softest beds
That they have stitched from all the clouds
That float above your head
They’re telling you they’re not alone
For there are many others
And they’ve been reunited
With their parents, sisters, brothers
They’re showing you their rainbow
So you know they won’t forget you
And to tell you they will always be
So happy that they met you
And they’re telling you they love you
And though they’ll be dearly missed,
Not to worry, ‘cause it’s beautiful
Beyond the rainbow bridge
They saw you watching over them
As they finally closed their eyes
They smelt your scent as they breathed
In and out for the last time
They heard the way your voice broke
As you told them they were loved
They felt you as you held them
With your gentle, farewell touch
And now they watch each morning
As you pass their empty bed
They watch you lose composure
And they see the tears you shed
They hear you bear the silence
Of the footsteps that are gone
That walk across your heart each day
Like echoes of a song
They feel the pang of emptiness
You get when you’re alone
In moments when you realise
That they’re never coming home
But in their darkest moment
You were there to hold them tight
And they just want the same for you
So you can feel alright
So they’re sewing you a rainbow,
Weaving ribbons through the sky
So they can let you know
That life is good beyond goodbye
So next time it is raining
And the sun appears as well
Just feel and look and listen
To what they are trying to tell
They’re telling you it’s spring there
With its showers and its sun
Where there are endless fields for them
To play and stretch and run
They’re telling you they sleep upon
The biggest, softest beds
That they have stitched from all the clouds
That float above your head
They’re telling you they’re not alone
For there are many others
And they’ve been reunited
With their parents, sisters, brothers
They’re showing you their rainbow

So happy that they met you
And they’re telling you they love you
And though they’ll be dearly missed,
Not to worry, ‘cause it’s beautiful
Beyond the rainbow bridge
Dino, Ruggles O'Redgap Toastmaster To Karrelene, JHA, was our second show Gordon Setter. He was out of a breeding by Karrelene Kennels and Ruggles O'Redgap Kennels, both from Fowlerville, Michigan. His litter consisted of five boys and was named the Rat Pack litter. Thus we adopted the nickname of Dean Martin (Dino) who was know as "The Toastmaster". Birdsense was the name of his game. Dino excelled in the field and currently achieved an Advanced Junior Hunter title, which he earned in the Arizona desert in 2012 at the age of 3. He almost reached the age of 15. We had wonderful years together. I was heartbreaking to watch him start to go downhill after being such an active Gordon in the field. We tried Librela to relieve his pain with only marginal help. When his rear assembly totally gave out it was time to let our boy go to that great bird field across the bridge.
Ceana, CH Taliesin Cea You At The Trane JH (GCH Sandpiper's Shore Enough x CH Taliesin Bank On This JH CGC NA) was a very special girl co-owned with Pat Engler of Taliesin Gordon Setters. Ceana won the accalades of the judges in the conformation ring and in the field. She was a joy to show and loved her birds. Ceana was the mother to our "B" litter and Grandmother to our "C" litter. A great mother that loved her babies. She gave the best kisses and loved to snuggle. While her last 2 years of her 13+ were filled with health issues she had a wonderful life and enjoyed running the BlueTrane acreage. Her failing health was very difficult to see. But now she runs free, chasing birds and cavorting with her daughter Bryna and her brothers and sisters that preceeded her across the bridge. We seriously miss our sweet and tender girl.
