I remember Task hog wormer..used it for years and it worked.

My dad thought sulfur and black oil was a cure for everything. Was probably not the best idea. I remember Filarabits. They were expensive and had to be given daily. One of the old time chemicals that did work was Lindane dip. We kept a barrel mixed up all summer. Never any flea or tick problems. I t...

Any of you remember what the dog world was like before Ivomec? Heart worm prevention was a daily chore and many good dogs put down because of demodex. I would hate to go back to those days.

Delta has always done a good job for me.

Dogs that would rather fight than hunt when in the field should be removed from the gene pool.

The splinter is a very narrow short forearm just big enough to keep you hand from getting burned by hot bbls. The beavertail is much wider and actually wraps part-way around the bbls. Go to gunbroker.com and search for skb 100 and 200 and you will see the difference.

highcotton

Depending on the time period you are talking about it could be one of the Ithaca's made by SKB. The model 100 is a sxs with splinter forarm and extractors. The model 200 is a sxs with beavertail forearm and ejectors. Both are excellent guns but are getting harder to find and going up in price. Follo...

Lonestars are bred by James Singleton in TX. Lonestar Dunns Bama came from Marvin Dunn's kennel in AL and is all Bomber. Mali is out of the same stuff as my Josh dog which is basically Blizzard/Bomber cross. If I remember right Mojo is a Glen Roark bred Bondhu owned by Chuck Wilson at Whiterock kenn...

I have always done it at 16 weeks. Its a killed vaccine, so its relatively harmless with the possible exception of a vax reaction. All that generally amounts to is a swollen face that goes down with benadryl. pretty rare. K Doc, I have a kennel situation with new dogs coming and going. The chance o...

I had one of the 2 1/2" chambered models early on and it shot 6" to the left at 7 yards with 45LC ammo. Not much you can about that with fixed sights. I traded it to a guy who only wanted to shoot shot shells. I made him aware of the problem before we traded. Although I took a beating on the deal I ...

http://www.llewellinsetter.net/breeders.html You may already know about this site but it lists most of the FDSB registered Llewellin breeders. Wilbur Williams and Bob Bailey have kept a pure strain of Bondhu for years. J. D. Waters in Mechanicsburg, IL is not listed on the site but also breeds Bondh...

highcotton

I am not familiar with the man or the dogs but have noticed several in the OFA database with the Manlove prefix. If memory serves me right most of them had Bondhu in their registered names. That would lead me to believe they are recent (last 30-50 years) imports most likely from Europe.

Nice looking chestnut pup. That white tipped tail will comein handy when he points in tall grass.

highcotton

Although we don't do contracts, we OFA our brood dogs. DNA is required by FDSB for all Llewellins. We
guarantee pups against genetic health problems for 24 months.

I guess we have just been lucky. We have never had any of the problems y'all are discussing
In this thread.

How about some name suggestions for our litter born early this morning on the 4th of July?

I was lucky enough to grow up around several of the top major circuit handlers. There were many national champions in their care and a lot of bitches shipped in for breeding. With those old timers a hand shake was all that was needed. I can only emagine what they would have said (or done) if someone...

highcotton

Being from the old school I do not do contracts. We give the owner of the bitch two options: (1) They can pay stud fee and get their stud certificate at the time of service with the understanding that if the bitch doesn't take they get return service or refund, their choice. or (2) They can take the...

Each one of my dogs has their own TT Bark Limiter from Gun Dog Supply. The collars hang on the kennel gates most of the time but they work when needed.

I agree that heart plays a role in running in hot conditions. However running in the heat and finding birds in the heat are two different things. A dog with a big heart may tough it out well in the heat but that dog can't scent birds when he is gasping for air. The key is breeding and conditioning. ...

That's a fine looking Llewellin...

As stated in my previous post I take advantage of closed breed Llewellin trials to evaluate future breeding stock. I run a lot more NSTRA but rarely see another Llewellin at those trials. Nothing wrong with any trial if it works for the club.

highcotton

As a Llewellin breeder I take advantage of the closed breed Llewellin trials. Although it usually requires a lengthy road trip I can look at a lot of potential breeding stock in one place at one time.

I use these and like them better than leather. Thay have a little "give" to them that takes the shock out of the pull. Thay also have a good padded chest strap.

Those who understand NSTRA rules will also understand why you don't wait for a bracemate to get a back. To those who do not understand NSTRA, I can see why you would think it bad sportsmanship.

I might be inclined to start dropping pigeons for her, then shoot some planted birds, she'll learn to hunt close or she won't get feathers. If i had a dog that ran too big (which i have) i would let her go, sell her, its no fun and not fair to the dog to constantly hack them.....someone else will l...

Interesting project...count me in. We also need to consider the fact that some terms are regionable. For example here in the South (where we have our own language :D) I might ask someone if they want to "work dogs" on Saturday, meaning do you want to have a training session on Saturday. Old timers r...

I bred one of my females this very morning to a male dog I sold as a pup. I paid the man a stud fee to breed to HIS dog.

highcotton

I will admit that I am particular about where my pups go....but once the pup is sold it's yours. I'm not going to tell you what to do with it. If my situation ever gets to the point that I need written contracts to sell a pup....I will stop selling pups.

Mine howl when they hear a siren or a distant train whistle.

Thanks, I learned something from you. So you are saying the process would be very expensive and the results could be inaccurate but it is possible?

highcotton

There are many definitions for the term "back yard breeder". Depends on who you are talking to. A back yard breeder is not necessarily someone who grabs up any two dogs that happen to be available to breed. I have been breeding one to three litters per year for over 40 years. I have spent a fortune ...

There is a lot more variation within the breeds than between the breeds.

I use the pro 200 two dog model. If you use the flank collar training method you can run both on the same dog with only one reciever. Or, if you need to you can run two dogs.

I have used TT since e-collars were introduced. I have upgraded several times but never due to failure of the equipment. I did try Inotec's launchers and backing dog. I'll just say that I will never buy anything Inotec again and let it go at that.

We tried it for several years and finally gave up. We used a half section of land and strictly followed the advice of a wildlife biologist. We spent thousands of dollars in the process. We released birds in September and would lose a third within the first two weeks. Two months later approximately a...

We have so many ferals locally that getting permission to trap is no problem. I have never had homers and have never really felt I needed any. Several years ago I had a pigeon trap in the bell tower of an old county courthouse that was over 20 miles from where I lived at the time. Just for the heck ...

If you want a hunter find a breeder with a record of producing hunters. Preferably get a pup from a repeat breeding that has produced the type dog you want. Weaning age pups can't tell you much...look at the sire and dam and then, unless you have a color or sex preference, cose your eyes and pick on...

Try to be calm in the blind. If you are nervous you dog sense it. Inform the judge that this is your first run in NSTRA. He will help you out as you go. Try not to get hung up behind your brace mate. If it's a faster dog go to a different area so you won't end up backing for the entire brace. If you...

All I have read id knowing how the first litter turned out provides a blue print of what the next litter will be. This is true but is more reliable with parents that are linebred and related than it would be with complete outcrosses. The pups will not get better but you have a head start being able...
