Elgin fitted in well to the Rowanmyle gang, and is once again a lovely example of the English Setter Breed. He is a very loving and adorable young man. If only he could master the art of the recall, sometimes I think he would keep running till he fell off the edge of the planet.... Elgin loves to chase small birds round the garden, and wrestle with Rowan. Elgin took to the whole showing malarkey like a duck to water, and has proved to be a natural showman. Unfortunately I have been unable to show him that often, but with my new job in late 2009 I'm looking forward to getting Elgin out and about a lot  more. Elgin soon took Logan under his wing and uncle & nephew are the best of friends.
