Wendy couldn't have been easier or more helpful to work with throughout the process of getting our puppy. We were able to follow her (puppy, not Wendy) from birth on line, and Wendy recommended from the litter what we feel is the most suited puppy for our particular home. Wendy has been considerate and informative throughout and we would recommend her highly.

Our experience with the Bockmans and Truly Red and Whites has been wonderful. We have had great communication with Wendy in deciding whether the breed was a fit for our family, as well as choosing the right puppy to bring home. She paid special attention to the fact that we have a five year old daughter and ensured we had a good companion for her. She has educated us and still offers tips and suggestions on a regular basis. They offer a great combination of common sense and a vast knowledge of the breed.

Ditto the previous comments. We love very much our beautiful puppy from Truly Red & Whites. We received, and continue to receive, a lot of support from Wendy & Ed. The entire experience was educational and enjoyable. It's very clear that they love and nourish the IR&WS breed. We recommend Truly Red & Whites without reservation.

We have had a wonderful experience with Truly Red & Whites from our first inquiry about future litters to the support we get today for our 12-week old puppy. Our Clover is smart, beautiful, affectionate and intensely interested in birds. She inherited a great temperament and instincts from sire and dam, and the Bockmans did a marvelous job in socializing and exposing her early in life to all of the right people, places and things. These are great dogs! They are the complete package for anyone looking for an intelligent, loving and elegant companion bird dog.

I had a hard time getting a red & white pup. During my time searching for a R & W I spoke to a number of breeders. some never called you back and some didn't do what they said they were going to do.Through puppy find I got to Wendy Bockman at Truly Red & Whites. I told her about my difficulties finding a pup, she said her female Emerald was going to have pups and I could have one. We spoke for a long time about the breed and it was very helpful and informative. Every step of the way I got e-mails of the progress, pictures, helpful hints, websites to help us to raise the pup and a lot of hand holding on the telephone. Wendy was great to work with and always did what she said she was going to do. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a red & white setter to see her. Gratefully, Ron

We feel so fortunate to have acquired our beautiful IRWS puppy from True Blue Acres. After several decades of owning English setters, we are thrilled to have found a new breed that equals and surpasses the wonderful temperament and intelligence of our past dogs.

We brought our puppy, Baylie, home at 8 weeks and she has been a delight ever since. We are impressed with her sweetness, obedience, loyalty, and intelligence. She was sitting on command at 10 weeks. We take her hiking quite a bit and she always stays right in our visual field. I work at a private school and I took Baylie to my office very day for the past 3 months and she was terrific. Always calm and gentle with the children and staff. She is adored by everyone.

In addition, True Blue Acres has been a great support to us and we enjoy all the "networking" possibilities made available to us. You can contact the breeder anytime and she is always helpful and sincerely interested in you and your puppy.

So far my experience with this breeder has been superb! I have had excellent communication by email and phone from the first moment of inquiry through the present (4 month old pup). This breeder has even taken the initiative to start an online social networking group to connect IRWS fans around the world and I am thrilled to have a forum in which to engage with other enthusiasts as well as ask questions when they arise. And I have a smart, happy, healthy, adorable puppy to boot. I contacted several breeders before deciding on this one and I couldn't be happier.
