Re: Looking for a good llewellin puppy need breeder advice
Just an observation, but our last three dogs were end of litter pups aged 12 to 14 weeks. Absolutely a breeze to housebreak and work with them. I attribute that to the extra time with mom and family before going to their new home

Re: Hello
Welcome. Nice to have you here. I retired as an Evidence Technician in the Duluth, MN Crime Scene Unit 3 years ago. Retired in time for a leg to get gamier all the time and my aim adversely affected, but I still like getting out with the dog after some grouse and pheasant. Best wishes to you and Lunar

I find it interesting in the MN game synopsis, it cautions not to accidentally shoot a wolf thinking it is a coyote (an unprotected species). The caution is due to the expansion of the wolf population far outside the north woods. I hunt pheasants down near St. Cloud, and my farmer friend has seen th...

I certainly see Ezzy's point, but have to agree with CJ. Both parents are pointers; I suspect the pups will be gifts or sold unregistered; and would expect the pups to take on the traits of the parents. I have to think there would be many folks interested in such pups
