Title: Time for a new puppy
Post by: SevenD on February 22, 2017, 06:58:27 PM: Well, after years without one, we are finally ready to get a new puppy. I've been looking into llewellin setter mostly, but it looks like local breeders are limited. Any advice in searching for a breeder that I may not be able to visit?

And recommended Llewellin breeders?

A Llewellin is an English Setter, just a particular type/bloodline. Same with Ryman, but they were more particular with breeding and keeping the line pure.

Most field bred english setters have more diverse blood lines these days and are nothing like the show dog lines.

Here is my boy

Amazing dogs but you'll be waiting a while for a puppy and pay ultra premium prices.

I found that dog dead in his kennel last spring, he was 3 weeks shy of his 5th birthday. For a dang good hunting setter I'd call a guy in Kansas and have him throw a couple in a box and ship them out. I had 2 of his dogs, two of the best dogs I've owned and that's saying something. I've had over 30. And his pups are cheap with solid famous bloodlines.

Who's your Kansas guy? Mind sharing his name (PM is OK).
