New Bird Dog

[dgrapes59]

My wife came with me to Nebraska a week ago when I went pheasant hunting. I have Llewellin Setters, she brought her Westie and joked about me taking him hunting. He was very interested in a bird when I was cleaning it, couldn't resist taking the below picture. He ain't a bird dog, but sure wants to be... but is a great companion, always gives us a reason to smile. (made my wife happy posting for others to see )

dgrapes your only the second person i've heard talk about that type of setter,good friend of mine deceased had one for hunting birds. never had much luck he was trying to breed her but never had much luck. that's a nice looking bird there too.

I got my first Llewellin setter, Rudy, from a guy from IL that I met at work 13 years ago, he has been a family member and a great hunter. He would literally hunt until he dropped if you let him. I got my second one from a guy outside of St. Louis, he has been great, but in different ways, guess they are like kids, each has their own personality. Rudy is not doing well and I am dreading the day I have to make a hard decision. The guy I got Rudy from bought 2 Llewellin setters from a breeder in PA somewhere. They are around, it is kind of funny when someone recognizes them.
