Hello All. Sorry for the delay in updates and photos. Scott has pneumonia, and I am not too spiffy myself but am trying to hold down the fort. All is just great with Maisy and the puppies. Their eyes are open, they are really getting around and exploring more and more, they all weigh around [...]

Blue, a now 1-year dog out of Shay by Luke, made his owner Chuck Web a proud owner last Saturday. Chuck and Blue were invited to guide for a group hunting private ground for released Pheasant.

Puppies are Ten Days Old
Posted by LML on February 10th, 2008
In my sadness over the loss of #3, I found myself looking over the rest of the pack more often, today. While it made me shed more tears, I suppose it also helped with the healing. I don’t care who you are, you can not hold a 10-day old puppy and not smile inside–even with [...]

Days 3-5 In A Llewellin Setter Puppy’s Life
Posted by LML on February 5th, 2008
The puppies had the dew claws removed Monday. We are very fortunate to have a vet that comes to our home! He gave Maisy a check-up and said she is looking great and is in very healthy condition. With just 6 pups, this shouldn’t be that hard on her. All the pups got a good [...]
