Our Llewellins

“Everything we humans find desirable in a dog can be found in the Llewellin Setter. Especially for the Sportsman, this is as close as it gets to perfect. Those of us that find these dogs irresistible, must strive to keep  their  lines intact, free from any traits not conducive to fine Bird Dogs.”  Keith Smith

Here’s my boy Jack (O’Hagan’s Dashing Irish Jack) and I enjoying the first snow of the year. Jack has been an outstanding Stud; his Pups have gone up to Canada, both coasts and from California, up through Big Sky Montana to Maine, down to Arkansas and back out West to Lubbock, Texas!

HIGH HOPES FOR THE KID (aka SPOTTY).

Spotty, is out of our Lynnhill’s Grand Tessa (Lynnhill’s Prince Bryn & Lynnhill’s Highway Hannah) and our O’Hagan’s Angel Boy Mike (Lord Chesterfield & Lynnhill’s Bondhu Annie). Spotty has a beautiful point and tracking abilities and a very loving dog.

The SOUTHS MIGHTY MOE.
The Souths Mighty Moe.

Moe is the brother of Spotty. He is a strong Boy, athletic, and  very loving. Moe, thoroughly enjoys working the Field all day, you can see that burning desire in his eyes! Moe, was born with a white coat that eventually transformed to rare darker coat with a reddish tint. Old photos (late 1800’s) show the same coat of some of Purcell Llewellin’s personal dogs! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog.

LYNNHILL'S GRAND TESSA.
LYNNHILL’S GRAND TESSA.

Our Tessa, comes from the litter of “Lynnhill’s Prince Bryn”, and “Lynnhill’s Highway Hannah”. She not only was a fantastic mamma (Dam of Spotty and Moe) she is very intelligent and has a beautiful point. She has the genetic gift Llewellin Setters have in the field and is very crafty sneaking in and resting on my recliner!

O'HAGAN'S ROYAL BONDHU PIPPA.
O’HAGAN’S ROYAL BONDHU PIPPA.

Our Pippa, is absolutely outstanding! She is out of Lynnhill’s Royal Chase”, and “Lynnhill’s Lady Lydia”. Pippa showed what makes a Llewellin Setter a Llewellin Setter. At 10 months of age, she attended a Field seminar, which included different breeds of Bird Dogs. Our Pippa performed brilliantly; quartering, working the field, and consistently catching the scent and hitting a terrific point! Since then, she has continued to make me proud. She has an outstanding, proven lineage. You can see that Burning Desire in her eyes and the enjoyment of working the field.

Mike can go sunrise to sunset and then some! Gracie is primed and ready to work the field! If one were to ask “what characteristic do I look for in a Bird Dog?” I would say “look at their eyes, you can see a total focus, a burning desire, 100 percent fixation on the Bird….Gracie has this focus!
