Nice...thanks for posting.

NEhomer

Beautiful pup.

He's cursing check cords and fences!

NEhomer

Oh, ok, My Llew is from Kyle Warren of Paint River Llewellins. I believe he got his sire from Scott and Michelle in the UP.

Good looking pup! is that Long Gone stuff?

??? Long Gone?

NEhomer

Since I'm not a breeder, it's of little concern to me but I suppose the Ryman setter is also an offshoot of the English setter, no?

They're all beautiful to me.

Me too

this is so much good information it will help me to cut down on the mistakes I will be making when I get my pup. I have never trained a pointing dog before I will be learning the whole way. im getting a griffon wirehaired in 4 months. the down fall is I live in north Dakota so it will be really col...

I started using imgur for sharing pics on the web. Works well and is pretty simple....and free. It's a drag that images posted with Photobucket are gone.

He's was 48Lbs last time I took him to the vet.

NEhomer

Thanks everyone.

As for the OP, another terrific thing about Kyle is that throughout the purchasing process he never took longer than an hour or two to return an e-mail. I admire that and in today's world, I'm growing increasingly intolerant of not hearing back from people.

NEhomer

Thanks....he's obviously my pride and joy!

NEhomer

I hope someone stopping in here will let me know if they're able to view the pics now. Thanks.

NEhomer

Check out this thread. I'm hoping I got the pictures posted correctly. http://gundogforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=52464 I previously had two Brittanys and in retrospect, I wish they had been Llews. My setter is the most amazing dog I've ever owned. A sweetheart in the home and pure fire on an...

NEhomer

Hoping they're visible now. I used Google Photo for the first time and I probably had some share setting incorrect. I switched them to imgur.

NEhomer

Gee, that's weird.

Anyone else?

NEhomer

Yeah, I'm a little biased but he's a stunner. Again, I can't say enough good things about Paint River and Kyle's program.

NEhomer

All of our dogs share the same favorite place! Where we goin'?

NEhomer

NEhomer

If it files, it dies. Whip will point anything and he's constantly hunting.

NEhomer

My avi pic and the first time my wife saw a bird shot. It was very exciting for her but she's not a hunter.

NEhomer

First Bird.

My new Puppy 1/23/15

NEhomer

Yes, I got my Llew from Kyle Warren and I could not be more pleased. He's an amazing trainer and dedicated breeder. I've never had a pup like my Whip. His prey drive is through the ceiling, he's naturally staunch and he's as biddable and obedient as he could possibly be. Here in year three I have th...

NEhomer

Terrific....thanks for posting the pics~

NEhomer

(((Mustang)))

I'm in year 3 with my setter this fall and I love him so much I want to break a clock and make time stop.

NEhomer

How old is your pup and what prior experiences has he had? Does he show interest in "bleep" birds?

At 4 months, I put a pigeon in a cage and let my setter have at it..... he went ape over it and I knew I had a bird dog.

NEhomer

Nice....great start~

NEhomer

Welcome and good luck with the pup.

What and where will you hunt?

NEhomer

Before my current and amazing Llewellin, I had two brittanys.

....I now wish they had both been llews!

NEhomer

It was a good idea when we stopped talking politics on this board.

...and I don't mean that as telling you to shut up but yeah, things are a little zany these days and we ain't gonna settle it here at GDF.

Let's use this place to worship God's gift to us all....dogs.

I'm not sold on the gps units. Have the pathfinder and alpha, the old Dogtra 2500 T&B is so much easier. I'm sure the gps would come in handy at some point. From what I've noticed the last 2 weeks, to much time spent looking at the phone or handheld. In a month I want to be looking down shotgun bar...

NEhomer

You don't need to look at the Alpha 100 to correct but you do to adjust the intensity.

I have an Alpha 100 and TT15 and I would pay five times as much for it. It makes hunting a pure joy...and a quiet joy.

NEhomer

I simply don't get the argument against the e-collar. If you're afraid of messing up, don't mess up. Goodness, with YouTube and this forum, what the beginner needs to know is easy to find and on top if that, it ain't rocket science...unless you named your dog Rocket! There are some differences of op...

NEhomer

Under advice from many in this forum, I never once used a wing-on-a-string for my setter.

Get some pigeons and launchers and don't tolerate her creeping.

NEhomer

I'm very fortunate to live beside a several hundred acre swamp and woods that has lately held a good population of woodcock. My setter is on point right at the edge of my property several times a week. He wears his Alpha collar almost every day. He's incredibly staunch now.

NEhomer

Great info already supplied! I would definitely run on wild birds but not too frequently. Pigeons are vital in my processes because they are strong fliers that don't land prematurely as do other pen-raised game birds. There are some situations you should be aware of though. Running on wild birds is...

Pretty much this.

NEhomer

Being a French Brittany guy, I have 14 here right now but only own 12, I think I can reasonably say don't shoot non pointed birds. I wouldn't worry about your pup connecting the dots with birds if you don't shoot any. The homework should have already been done prior to hunting as far as introductio...

NEhomer

Don't shoot.

I did pretty much what the OP describes with my Brittany. She never became fully staunch.

My current setter will stand over a point while I go have breakfast. That's due to launchers and pigeons.

NEhomer

A 330 Conibear is nasty....how much time do you have? I can free one with a short length of rope pretty quickly but if it takes any amount of time to discover the dog, I can't see them surviving.

It just shouldn't happen.

NEhomer

I live in MA and as an ardent outdoors man, I used to trap until the libs outlawed it here in '96. So I am anything but anti-trapper BUT all conibear traps should be underwater or elevated above where a dog can reach. Foothold traps are perfectly capable of catching fox, coyote, bobcat, wolf and lyn...

NEhomer

I forgot Teddy Bruski. That's when I give him a sip of beer! I wonder how many of Y'all can 'say' SIT when you have your back to the dog and the dog actually sits ? :lol: ........That would be without any other reference of course ,like a nick of a collar or tug of a lead or gesture with your body ....

NEhomer

I was pondering just how bright my setter is compared to all of my other dogs. He's going on 2 1/2 and the number of words and terms he knows is amazing. At the top of everyone's list of course is: 1) Birds? ...wanna get BIRDS?!! Then... 2) HUNGRY? want SUPPER? 3) TRUCK? want a RIDE in the TRUCK?! 4...

NEhomer

Congrats on your new little buddy. Ditto to what everyone's said. He's a beautiful dog.

...I overdid the bonding with my setter and he's OBSESSED with me. Publicly I call it annoying but in my heart, I couldn't love him more~

NEhomer

!!!

...and Eagles aren't protected!

NEhomer

Thanks Sharon.

Already can't wait until next season. Fortunately, I'm a psycho golfer so that obsession will carry me through!

NEhomer

Thanks.

I love that gun and typically shoulder it very well.

I also think that 16 is the perfect pheasant load.
