Laurel Mt. Llewellin Puppies
Available Llewellin Setter Puppies
There are no pups available at this time.
Future Breeding's
We only intend to carry on the excellence of those gun dogs that have natural abilities, desire for the hunt, prey drive, class and intelligence. We intend to preserve the Llewellin setter as a world class gun dog.
Approximately December 2008/Januaray 2009, Maddy will be bred to Jess. Maddy is a heavily ticked chestnut belton (complete with the curly top-knot) out of Shay & Luke. Jess is a lovely orange belton. I am particulary excited about the potential of this breeding. Maddy and Jess are much alike in style and this breeding will produce excellent pups. Both Maddy and Jess have incredible prey drive, nice range, desire to hunt for you, natural retrieving instincts, 
lovely conformation and tail hold. Both are incredibly intelligent as well. Pups will whelp February/March and be ready for their new homes April/May.
Next, will be Maisy in March 2009 with puppies available in July.
Contact us for deposit & reservation information.
We have added some fine young Llewellin Setters to our home over the past 2 years and are very excited about the potential of their future. While still a little young, they are showing excellent promise. Look for next year to be an exciting one at Laurel Mt. Llewellins.
Introduced and Started Dogs
Call us about the possibility of acquiring a started dog as opportunities are sometimes available. We usually do not post them to the Web site as it honestly is very difficult to find the right person that we want one of these dogs to go to. It is just that much time, effort, and love goes into one of these dogs and we'll keep them before they go to anyone except the person that can very much appreciate such an opportunity and is able to offer them an excellent, hunting situation.
On occasion, we will retain and start (or introduce) one of our pups for you. See more information under Training, below.
Our Guarantee
When purchasing a pup from us, you will receive a guaranteed healthy puppy with excellent bird dog potential (and we mean excellent bird dog potential). We only breed our dogs if they are of excellent health and have proven themselves as an excellent hunter in the field. We have some of the best producing Llewellin Setter lines—lines that consistently have been proven to produce excellent gun dogs. We had nothing to do with it, we are just truly blessed to have obtained such fine dogs from the professional breeders that did all the work.
Our Llewellins are DNA Certified and registered with the Field Dog Stud Book. We use OFA to ensure against hip displaysia.
We will guaranteed a pup for 2 years against congenital illness. We will provide a full refund of the purchase price, upon the return of any puppy with a veterinarian diagnosed congenital illness.
In the event a licensed veterinarian confirms that the dog is unsound due to hereditary disease, it will be replaced, free of charge, (provided the pup is returned to us) with another puppy acceptable to the buyer. If you choose to keep the pup (and we realize that returning the pup to us after families become so attached), then it must be spayed/neutered and proof of such provided, we will then provide another pup at half the current puppy price. (excluding transportation costs) for a period of two (2) years.
We can make no warranty as to any individual pups future hunting ability. We only breed our personal hunting dogs that have been proven in the field. Through research and selective breeding, all our puppies should display the natural and instinctive traits necessary to become outstanding field dogs. We would not ever consider selling a pup that we would not keep ourselves. And we usually are keeping at least one for ourselves.
Honestly, we would love to guarantee every pup as we are that confident in the inherited abilities each one is born with. The problem is that I personally feel people can quickly ruin an otherwise perfectly excellent gun dog. That is why we do so much talking with a potential owner and why we offer to help and assist in every way possible with the up-bringing of the pup. I don't believe it is the dog's fault in most--if not all--cases.
Wow, you are big and you are not my momma... ... Wow, you are really small, what am I supposed to do with you?
We Provide
We will try to provide updates of the bitch and her progression. There is not very much to tell there, just the breeding and the whelping. When the pups are whelped, we will let you know and post at least weekly updates of the pup's progression with photos, weight, any notes on personality, etc. Once the pups are 6 weeks of age, we will then allow the client's to begin choosing their pups in the order of deposits received.
Please Note: We reserve the right to at any time make our own selection of the litter. We also reserve the right to choose to not sell any puppy at any time before the actual sale is made. In the event there would not end up being a puppy available for you, any/all monies would be transferred or refunded and we will help in all ways to find you a suitable replacement.
We will make suggestions as to each pup's personality after discussing your intentions in obtaining a Llewellin Setter from us. We want to ensure the pup is going to the situation that will suit it—and you— best.
When you obtain a pup at 7-8 weeks of age, they will have had their dew claws removed, all necessary inoculations and will have been veterinarian checked to be of sound health. When you pick up or we ship the pup, you will receive:
- The Bill of Sale
- All papers necessary to register your pup via the FDSB, as well as permission to use "Laurel" or "Laurel Mt"
in the pup's registered name, if you so desire. - Health Record (record of shots, wormings, etc.)
- Large sample of puppy food (Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lover's Soul) and feeding instructions.
The pup will be very well socialized in our home and introduced to just about everything (other dogs, lots of people, sounds, loud noises, the crate, beginning house and crate training, etc.). We do everything we can think of to provide a smooth transition for the pup from our home to yours! They will be exercised and given exposure to stairs, steep hills, the "big dogs". They will have excellent beginnings with us.
We would like very much to stay in touch with every one that obtains a pup from us. We also ask that if an owner's situation changes and he is no longer able--or willing--to keep the dog, that we have first rights to take the dog back and place it in another suitable home of our choosing. This is included in our bill-of-sale.
Please, also read our deposit/reservation and puppy choosing policy.
Training
We will offer any training advice we can to help you and your Llewellin pup along. We also from time to time offer introduced/started dogs. We also can retain one of our pups to introduce for you. The pup will be started and ready for you to take hunting come September/October! This program includes care and feeding, socialization, obedience (yard) work, introduction to birds, etc., as age permits. We have other programs available for advanced training. Call or e-mail us to discuss any of these possibilities.
