I have a Llewellin pup I got a few weeks ago. He's going on 11 weeks old and he's an orange Belton like yours Oldtimr.

Can't wait to do some training with him this spring.

Good luck with him. I hunted with mine on Saturday and she is really coming along. She slams into a point running full speed. I could have gotten some great pics of intense points if I had remembered the camera in my coat pocket. Post a picture of your pup.

I'll post a couple of pics when I'm on my PC.

He's a real doll. Turning into a teenager pretty quick though.

My Britt got lame her last few years and then we lost her in Sept so I haven't been able to chase upland birds for a while. I'm very excited about this autumn. Real training starts in April at 4 months old.

He's from Kyle Warren's Paint River Llewellins. Kyle got Whip's parents from Laurel Mountain Llewellins in the UP.

Quite the coincidence. Brandy is from Laurel Mt Kennels. The Sire is Count and the Dam is Santanna. A couple of pics of Brandy around the same age as Whip.

Cool, I hear that Scott and Michelle are good folks and do a fine job.

Brandy's beautiful and yeah, she looks like just about the exact same age. Whip will be twelve weeks this weekend. Man I can't wait for the very first flush....and hopefully a kill and hopefully a retrieve!

Don't be disappointed if he doesn't retrieve for a while. Setters are not known as natural retrievers. My last setter took two years before he consistantly retrieved to hand. I do not believe in force fetch training, I can wait for it to develop so long as they find dead birds.
