I think it is so very cool that 2 of the puppies from a litter given temporary names that are towns in the great state of Maine are going to live in Maine. They will also keep their names. Ashland and Brook left this morning for their airplane ride to their new home. We spent the last few days getting the pups used the crate. This morning went off without a hitch. The gals were snuggled up together in their shipping crate awaiting departure, after a lengthy romp in an out-of-the-way grassy area at the airport. Five hours later, they arrived safely into the arms of their new, “Mom” and “Grandmom.” Both are just fine. Very cool..

I have a llewellin setter puppy well she’s a year now that my father purchased from grouse ridge kennels in oxford new york shes shaping up to be an excellent hunter and great on birds she went out during the last few weeks of our hunting season when six months old and we were presently suprised by her natural abilities and she pointed 4 birds in half an hour that we shot i clipped a pheasant that she actually tracked and found for us we are now working on force fetching with her. my family has owned setters since long before i was born and have only had 2 llewellins and they were the 2 best dogs when it came to training and ability on birds. this new pup (sadie) is a tri-coulour and is looking great she is the best trained dog we have ever had and watching her work the field is amazing even though thier arent any birds on the training grounds behind my house we make do she can do everything sit stay come whoa fetch quarter we can direct her with a whistle like a lab lie down hold amazing pointing form (twelve o’clock tail foot up) just an outstanding dog and i think its great that you do such thorough backround checks on buyers of your dogs and that you only sell to hunters thats great!! and shows how much you care about the breed. my setter is also registererd in the field dog stud book

Great to hear all is going so well with your pup! We maintain a Llewellin Setter database of FDSB registered Llewellins, so please submit a copy of your registration so she can be included–a photo can be included also!

Thanks for the kind compliments–we really do care about maintaining the Llewellin Setter breed as a hunting dog!

Hey Guys,

Piper is doing wonderful. She is all energy and mischief. It’s funny what she thinks she can get away with. She finds her way to the recall pen on every walk, and today jumped up on top and went on point. This one, like my other will be a challenge to focus and reign in, but I love the energy, the birdiness and the boldness. She is a carbon copy of old babe at the same age. No doubt she’ll fulfill her purpose. Very busy now with two birds in training and her. I hope I don’t lose it before fall. We’ll keep you posted. Hope all is well with you guys
