Gary Wente just bred CH Teasel Wind Em to Wilburs dog Jake . That speaks volumes itself for the esteem Wilbur is given by most of the breeders in the llewellin world. Hard to go wrong with Wilburs dog's. Charles you coming up to the NLGDC Classic in MO? I would love to see Anna - she looks like a ve...

I have had dogs shipped on Alaska, NWA, Continental, Delta, American, and United. I never had any problems.

Right, now I prefer to use American Airlines.

Wa Chukar Hunter

They are nice compliments to setters - I have 2 - one female about 2 yrs old and a puppy about 6 months old.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Right now I am getting ready to go to Decatur to run in the Weim Hunt Test.

If in the next few years - DNA is able to trace ancestors with a certainty that we have not had in the past.

Do you advocate if there is a crossbreed close up - to throw the whole line out of the AKC database and remove them from the registry?

So, the irish setter (FDSB) is being punished for openly doing, what many breeds have had clandestinely done?

I think that sets a dangerous precedent.

Here, is a question could the AKC as the governing organization, unilaterally accept reciprical registration of the FDSB irish setters?

Wa Chukar Hunter

Seems the AKC Club needs to split into two different organizations. One for the Show side - another for the field side. Big hub bub about reciprosity to the FDSB. Looks like a big internal dispute to me. I was shocked at the comments. Seems to me that if the english and gordon setter organizations l...

Wa Chukar Hunter

So, ISCA - AKC = show dogs

NRSFTC - FDSB = Field dogs.

Perhaps someday they will be more like the

GSPCA and the NGSPA

or the VCA.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I have seen ads about Little River Kennels but I have never personally seen any of the dogs.

One of my llewellins won an Open Puppy stake this weekend. TannerXPolly son.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I even tuned one up for a client - the dog received a Prize 1 NA 112.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Then reaching in and picking up a puppy. Then you hope you got lucky

Wa Chukar Hunter

Yep, we are hoping for good things from Nikki in the future. He is a nice one.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Thank you.

You would have appreciated the performance too.

I just returned from the Hill Country PDC trial in Brownwood, TX. My 7 month old puppy was awarded 1st Place in Open Puppy. Whiterock Forever Knight (Nikki) is by CH Shoeleathers Tanner (FDSB) out of Sherrods Pretty Polly. He has 2 legs of his JH Title and won the first AKC field trial stake he ever...

I have never seen a tri colored pointer before - Tommy's camp is just a few miles from our's in SD. Perhaps I will go look at Strut one of these days next summer.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Shadows Attitude pups here - I am training them - they are decent dogs.

Wa Chukar Hunter

One thing I have noticed - the longer the tail is on a setter/pointer the more likely you will get hooked/sickle tail.

Seems to me that perhaps - when looking at a potential mating - tails might be something to consider.

What do you think?

Wa Chukar Hunter

Nice picture - is that natural or is there a bird in a tether just out of frame?

Wa Chukar Hunter

In the first week plant one bird. stake him out where he can see where you plant the bird 100-200 yds away. Work him he should make a Bee line for the bird - when he points - flush and kill the bird let him retrieve it, or if you are working SW&S make him stand and go pick up the bird and bring it b...

Wa Chukar Hunter

Oregon or Idaho - Montana ain't bad neither

Wa Chukar Hunter

Pick the one that you like the best.

Personally, the Bondhus are generally close working and have great noses - they seem to stay in touch well. They are not my cup of tea - I like the american line llewellins.

My llewellins were well suited for hunting in Washington.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Both AKC/AF walking and horseback trials

Wa Chukar Hunter

I like llewellins because they are designer dogs

Wa Chukar Hunter

She will be bred to one of Jim Baker's young derbies that won an AF trial a couple weeks ago against some pretty nice setters and pointers - including kicking the tar out of 3 of my dogs that I am really liking.

I appreciate the info - something I was asked about and had no answer too - so at least I could use the info provided to point the people in the right direction.

Wa Chukar Hunter

What lines or breeders do you guys have experience with and like?

Wa Chukar Hunter

The good ones are very good - the bad ones are - bad.

Here's some info

Wa Chukar Hunter

I train all breeds - but the majority of the dogs I have in training are llewellin setters and small munsters - with a smattering of pointers, griffs, and others.

Wa Chukar Hunter

In the mid 90s - pretty nice dogs it seemed to me.

Now I have 3 small munsterlanders, probably very similiar from what I remember of the GLP's.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I went into my latest issue of VHD Magazine and looked at the test reports of GSP's, I thought it might be of interest. Before I put up the numbers let me state - that I have no GSP's and I don't breed dogs in general. The reports consisted of 105 dogs of various lines - of dogs tested over various ...

RJ lives in Moses Lake, WA - but comes to CA to compete in the fall/spring field trials down there. I am sure you could probably get in touch with him and talk to him when he comes south.

Nice to hear.

Jerry - Did I meet you at Dan's trial at Fishtrap?

Your dog was 1st - Doug's dog Stitch was 2nd and my dog Tanner was 3rd - I can't remember if it was 2004 or 2005.

Nikki - working johnny house quail.

I'm so proud of this breeding.

They are very forgiving of training mistakes generally.

P.S. I have llewellins and small munsterlanders so - take it for what it is worth.

Wa Chukar Hunter

Lou said he really liked your dog when he got back from judging. Pretty high compliment - in my eyes.

Wa Chukar Hunter

I was in WA - for 10 days in October this year. I never worked so hard for so little birds - since the chukar crashed in the early 80s!!!!

Bad news here is - that the cover is so thick and tall - dogs are having a hard time finding birds.

Wa Chukar Hunter

You guys are making me home sick!!!!!!

Here's Rocky!!!!!!!!

I trained four of them this winter - I just bought a puppy, and I have two older moonsters that were given to me. I use them to compliment my llewellins when I get to hunt in TX and WA. I have recently started to duck hunt more - when I lived in WA - I used labs but finding the moonsters just suit m...

Having been from Washington - good llewellins are hard to find up there - and since I left to move to TX - it got harder :D You will just about have to have a puppy shipped in - kennels I would consider are Gary Wente's, Whiterock Kennels, Straight Creek, High Cotton, Wingswept, Gaines Kennels, Houd...

What no pointers or setters - listed.

llewellin setters are the most prominent I own - but I do have pointers and english setters too.

Wa Chukar Hunter

That is good to know.

To all in harm's way tonight and every other night. I'm thankful you are there.
