Gun Dog Forum

KCZIE, If you look at the pictures Setternut posted, especially the white dog (Indy) you are not going to find a more aesthetically pleasing dog on point then a Llewellin. As far as companion dog, I can tell you I have never had a more affectionate dog than my Llew. Something else to mention is my L...

Have patience and let your dog figure it out. Thanksgiving this year I took my pup out for his first pheasant hunt. It was a plant on public land and we got there late. All the stupid birds had been shot. Only the smart ones remained. But I have to say that was the best hunt we did this year. Watchi...

Scott,

Not all of us have tv shows. What do you pay or do you only hunt for tv?

Kczie, If Setternut's picture of Indy (the white dog) pointing in the field doesn't do it for you I don't know what to tell you. As far as Llewellins and shedding, there is a device out there in pet stores called a 'furminator'. Mine cost me $20 and eliminated 95% of the fur that used to lay all ove...

Jagds are awesome dogs!

Find a feed store that sells pigeons. I live less than a mile from Disneyland. They cost me $3 each but are invaluable. I keep them overnight in a portable cage. They either escape (when the dog forgets whoa) or they get shot.

No problem.

Dump the launcher. It's time for birds.

I'm sure I'm stepping on pecuniary concerns here but.... Want your dog to whoa? Teach him whoa on a checkcord then take the dog and the cord in the field. Plant pigeons and using the checkcord just like before practice. Eventually, when you think the dog has it, take off the cord. Then when he charg...

"Why use an E-Collar at all?"

"So you can enforce a command when the dog is more than the length of a check cord away from you."

That may be a great excuse but training your dog works better, if your dog is trainable. More time training less time shocking.

My 2 cents.

VersatileDD, Don't worry too much about what your pup will and won't fetch. Lay the foundation and be pleasantly surprised. I have a now 15 month old Llewellin who was completely yard trained at 3 months. Fetched like it was the best thing in the world. Heeled, sat, all the yard things. At about 6 m...

The 'stink' as I understand it was in regards to his IrishKing Bondhu Ashley. His father was straight out of Llewellin's kennel and his mother was straight out of Father Brannon's. So you can see there was obviously a dna problem.
