thanks for all the replys. I guess people who are advertising llewellin setters are just staying as close as possible to the orignal llewellin lines. Whereas the others are all outcrosses that have developed their own type of english setter. Makes sense. I think im just going to get another dog fro...

Just wondering if you guys/gals think it is best to road dogs for a predetermined distance at a certain speed on a quad - or a predetermined time at a certain speed on a quad?

Is there are rough estimate - what is the best time or distance to road dogs for trialling in 1/2 hr or 1 hr stakes?

Wa Chukar Hunter

What do you guys think is a good thing to carry in saddle bags - first aid kit, extra blanks and a extra blank gun? Anything else? What is the best way to attach them to a saddle (austrailian or trooper)?

We feed NutriSource Adult last year at summer camp. The dogs were healthy and maintained great energy and weight. This year we were also feeding a NutriSource product at summer camp and ran out on 3 Oct, and could not get it locally since we are pretty much at the end of the food chain in northcentr...

Grant Stanfill has a nice litter I am told now. I think that from what I have seen Ronnie Sales - Free Flight Kennels in Jonesboro has some good ones too.

Even at 3 months old - I try to get them to range with birds - when I go to SD it is very easy we have a 1 mile long tree line/shelter belt that is loaded with pheasants and sharp tails - it doesn't take the pups long to figure out that up ahead is where the fun stuff is. Once they find and start kn...

I was on duty at McChord AFB - they immediately put us in the highest Threatcon levels and we had to secure our areas. We were wondering what could happen next.

The following llewellins have open field trial placements. Some are AF All age and Shooting dog, some are AKC and some are puppy and derby placements in both venues. This is a partial list that I am reciting off the top of my head, there are more llewellins that have placed in trials recently. All t...

Chelsea -

RJ would be my pick to train llewellins too. He is up in Moses Lake so that would be about 2 hrs only.

Tomorrow will be our second week here in SD - we are working dogs daily. Lots of birds.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Well, due to our ATV being in the shop for a week or so - We had to road the old fashioned way. We saddled Codeman and Bob. Daniel and I each took a dog and roaded them for 30 minutes from our horses. We also took a pair of young derbies and let them free run while we were roading the big dogs. We d...

Well, we arrived yesterday. Got most everything organized and set up - dogs and horses made the trip fine - they are grazing on prairie grass ant there is plenty of it too. I went running today - as I do a few times every week - 4 miles and we moved over 50-75 birds with four 5 month old or so - pup...

Wa Chukar Hunter

Thanks - that is what I had thought - I had never done any roading of dogs under 1 yr of age and mostly not before 18 months - just thought I would ask about it

Wa Chukar Hunter

What are your thoughts on roading dogs that are 13 months to 18 months old.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Well, tomorrow morning we are pulling out of hot, humid central Texas for 3 1/2 months of bird dog training on the prairies of north central South Dakota. We have a interesting cast of characters including pups from 6 wks old to 1 yr old. We are taking irish and llewellin setters, a brittany, and a ...

That's alright - I got plenty of setters in the kennel - a bit more blood wouldn't make much difference. Another option might be that Master Hawk dog that Dean Lord runs.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I got a nice bitch from a rock acre breeding - that I will contact Tommy Davis to breed her to Strut should she come into heat this summer - pretty convenient since Tommy's camp is only about 15 miles from mine in SD.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Brenda and others;

Yes, I was kinda figuring that it was more personality than their ability. We'll see how it works out in SD.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Dogs I have owned from the past. Loved the style of them all.

Well, if you are gonna trial you need at least 2 - I actually have 3.

I would recommend Alfa 209 and Alfa 32.

Loose - Steps forward or loosing intensity on the flush and wagging their tails.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Anything is possible - the 2 setters are standing fine - the 6 pointers are sometimes fine, sometimes loose - Yes, I use ecollar around the flank and just bump them a bit - but they are hard headed for sure. Everything about the foundation was nearly identical to the both groups - but they are diffe...

I have recently acquired a bunch of pointers - 6 of them - and had them about 5 months. I have been less than successful in getting them broke as I would like. They all come from decent lines - Shadows Attitude, Rock Acres and some of the Miller blood up close or 2nd generation. I have had setters a...

I am thinking of getting a H & R Snake Tamer in .410 and since it is a
bit of money I was thinking of using it not only for shooting snakes
but also carrying it as a blank gun in training this summer in SD.

Anybody have a source for .410 blanks?

Keith

Wa Chukar Hunter

I sent entries in but not sure I am in yet.

Just a Open Puppy and Open Derby but should be fun

Wa Chukar Hunter

Up there you might have some cold temps and wind. But, generally no snow or rain.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I crossed to to really dark side - I will have 7 irish setters in 4 days. 5 pups and 2 adult dogs.

How is that for a switch!

Wa Chukar Hunter

I sure miss home. I grew up 15 miles south of Anderson Ranch on the other side of Sunnyside - I miss home something fierce now.

Should have never left.

Toppenish, WA or Pocatello, ID Within 1.5 hrs of Toppenish, you could be in close to 1 million acres of public land - Toppenish used to be the pheasant mecca of the NW 30 yrs ago and still have very good populations there, plus ducks, valley quail huns and chukar 20 to 30 mins away. Pocatello, ID - ...

Interesting - I think that it depends on the dog. We have a very nice athlete in the kennel - he runs fast and big. Problem is he overrun's his nose - it isn't a terrible nose - because he has pointed singles in hot, humid days, but generally only after he tires a bit and slows down a bit. We have a...

Cam was bred by Don Beauchamp in KS. He is the son of National Red Setter Champion Chaparral out of Sizzlin Belle. He is FDSB only registered but his full brother was second at the National Red Setter Futurity this year. He is just a youngster and I picked him up at a field trial in Missouri this we...

I just posted pics of my irish setter in the BRAGS section. In about ten days. I will have 4 FDSB registered irish setter pups. One AKC registered Irish setter pup and two AKC registered irish setter adults - all from hard running, and winning field stock. My embracing of the Dark Side is now comple...

His name is Cheltiagh Magix Camulus. but you can call him Cam!!!

Especially in the FT world or at least that is the impression I have been getting. Can't tell you how many times I have had comments of surprise when people ask me how the dogs I run are bred - especially after a particularly good or winning performance - and can't believe they are llewellin setters...

I will pick him up at our national field trial in MO in about 2 wks. I am looking forward to working with the little guy though.

Dang - You GSP guys ought to thank your lucky stars. IF there was a pointer in the woodpile seriptiously (SP?) you guys need to keep your mouths shut about it. Because, if anyone tried to do it above board like the FDSB irish setters did - you guys would have a firestorm on your hands. I have been r...

I think OFA is fine. Personally, I just think if the breeder's offer a guarantee that should be enough. With or without OFA.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I think you will find health clearances are just starting to get done by pointer/setter people.

Wa Chukar Hunter

How many pts for the dog to be an FC left to go?

Wa Chukar Hunter

They seem very immature for their age 15 months and pretty soft - I don't like them much - but then again - I don't like pointers much either.

Kinda like an 870 reliable and functional - but no grace.

Think it's all over but the crying - my source says that Whipporwill Wild Agin is still the dog to beat.
