I'm not a breeder but I know testing is done on the hips and alot of breeders are testing elbows. A few are testing eyes. I find most Llewellin breeders to be very professional and passionate about the breed. Pups usually come with all vacinations, dew claws removed, etc. They also have guarantees (however much that helps) against genetic defects. My pup came with a two year guarantee. In order to register them, the parents must be DNA tested.

I heard about Gary Wente's Wind'em Teasel on the NLGD site. He was awarded a CH. But is the CH recognized by AF like Keith Hickem's Tanner?

I was also playing around with the idea of breeding this bitch I got. I'm undecided. Prolly not going to unless either a professional trainer sees something in her or a veteran trialer. Vet already says I should. Not many Llewellins here (only 3 breeders in the western states). Plus, I don't know the first thing about finding the right stud.

Anyway, I ran the dog today. I meet up with two people and they were both impressed. One was a couple without a dog and just watching her said, "I want a dog like that." The other was a guy with two goldies I met at the end of the day. One goldie was2yrs oldand wanted to play with my pup and the other was only walking down the road. My pup wanted to hunt. Ignored the goldie. Constantly ran into the blackberry thicket on both sides of the road. The guy's comment was, "Wow, your pup is a hunting machine." I came home smiling

It's these comments that make me rethink of breeding her LOL.
