Buck was bred to a tri-color (w, b and tan) female so the odds are they will be tri-colors....could have a chestnut in the litter but not likely.

It's amazing how many new friends you gain when bird season rolls around, Isn't it?

Yes Arlette...he was bred to a female in MN the next day. I think he liked it....

I am waiting with my fingers crossed for OFA results on my young male Buck. I should hear from them any day now. What do you think?

I started with a 12' aluminum utility trailer and had 4 hole boxes built to fit. There is enough room on back for 4 wheeler or other dog boxes. I have just under $3,000 in it.

as a first timer i have not just 1 but a list. 1) not so much wing on a string - i used to play with this one way too much. i used to hide the wing and let her find it, great nose work but not so good for holding point. i still think she looks for the wing on every point. she will creep in hoping t...

Griff - I am not a big fan of avoidance type training, ie getting the dog to turn off the stimulation by doing what is required. I am not confident enough in my abilities with an e-collar to use it in that way. I think the potential for confusion by the dog is too high...at least with me doing the ...

Thanks for your responses. We have what I consider to be good habitat. Our 320 acre tract is now in it's 15th year of pine/hardwood CRP. The strips between tree rows are alternated between fox tail millet, grain sogrum and fallow. We also have a good controlled burning program. We are not getting th...

That puppy shows his Blizzard blood. It looks like my pup shares quite a bit of ancestory with Some of your Sires and dams! Mostly in the grandapents 4th and 5th gen(what is that like 12.5% genology from the 4th gen and 6.5% from the 5th) but it is still quite nice to see! You have some beautiful l...

Dale and Linda Garner ran here in the Mid-South and Dixie regions before they retired and moved to Texas. They had pokers named Gretta and Moby. Given the righ condtitions both dogs could place. I even remember once when Moby placed first while braced with Copper. We used to kid Lee about "turning M...

IMO it is a genetic.

I've read that the llewellins seem to have more natural ability and need less training. Is there anything to that? NO, NO, and one more time NO! Where did you read that, A Llewellin breeder's website? The reality is you can't take ANYTHING for granted when it comes to overall differences between Ll...

Is this the reason, that my Llewellins papers came back??? Came back twice. The pedigree is below. http://www.perfectpedigrees.com/3genview.php?id=1312 I believe she is related to Hank.

I had a pointer female that lived a little past 17. It sure leaves a hole in you when you loose one of those old-timers.

I've had mainly English Setters but have been looking for a few years to get a Llewellin Setter. I want one however that doesn't have any of the King Kennel bloodlines in its ancestry. Now, that isn't meant to be a put-down or anything to the Llewellins that have that breeding in their ancestry. Th...

Elkhunter, I think we're pretty much on the same page. And I don't mean to sound argumentative, persistant, or all-knowing. (I'm certainly not the latter.) I feel that these are some basic concepts that most pet owners in our country have forgotten- for many it's just about about love and affection...

While it is important to establish yourself as the pack leader with the dog, it is even more important to use methods designed to bring out the good in the dog and not the bad.

I use the dog den 2's here in Alabama without bedding. We lined the bottoms with thick rubber stall mats cut to size. Rust is a problem and not just in the bottoms. The galvanized metal reacts poorly to urine and rust started showing up on ours within two years. We painted ours with a bed-liner mate...

I think Ray G nailed it. And the decline of HB trialing is not unique to central IL. The Alabama AA Championship is now held at heck Creek in MS due to the lack of grounds. A lot of people have deticated their lives to the sport and are now watching it dwindle in many parts of the country. They are ...

I don't use the O ring collars because it causes the buckle to end up in the dogs throat when check cording.

I've not spent a lot of time learning Llewellin history. I have focused my attention on present day Llewellins and tried to build a breeding program from todays available genepool.

Thanks for the input... I will pass it on ... How are they as family pets around the house with kids?? :D Llewellins come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

I have seen Highway Dan run and have also seen a lot of his puppies. I have a male (Alabama Twister) that is out of Poole's Royacelle Rhett and a Highway Dan bitch that I like.

I used to get frustrated with surface rust on blued guns but Eezox luckily took care of that problem - it's hands-down the best product I've used. It does a good job cleaning and works like a penetrating oil. I've used it with good results in semi-auto shotguns (don't own them anymore) and still us...

Steve, I won several bags of Nutri-Source at a trial in MN a few years ago. I was impresses with the feed before I even used it because of the packaging.

If the pup is severe and already showing clinical signs you may have a problem. If the pup is not showing signs, you should get another opinion IMO. It is difficult to evaluate hips at 4 months of age. I hope K9 notices this thread. She has some recent experience in evaluating pups at young ages. Ch...
