‘Shay’

Progression

Gracie

Another quick update. It’s crunch time at work, so the next two weeks will be a bit quiet as I try to keep up with deadlines. I love my work, and am so blessed to have this wonderful job, but I do look forward to the day when the Llewellins can be all that I [...]

First Ladies?

The creative side of my brain has completely shut down. I cannot come up with a special theme for these babies and really, really need your help! This is a very special litter and two very special gals. Also a litter of many “firsts” for us. The first litter in 18 years to be a [...]

Shay & Ike’s Pups – February 9th, 2011

Shay and pups

Shay is coming along great and is able to get around well now. She still is not eating much, though. My normal chow-hound has barely eaten since Friday. We’ve had to coax her with hand-feeding. Everything I’ve tried–usually her favorites–she shows no interest in at all. As I write this, she did end up eating [...]

Shay Puppies

Shay had her puppies via c-section today. There was a pup sideways that never turned, thus blocking the exit for all. We are just trying to care for Shay and the pups at the moment and recuperate from a very long, emotional, and worrisome several days. We will post all the official details, photos, get [...]

Waiting for Puppies to Arrive

Shay close to her time

Shay sort-of faked me out a little bit yesterday. She wouldn’t eat all day and that is usually the first sign to me that she will be delivering soon (within a day). She spent the day digging in the sofa, the whelping box,  or either glued to my side or wanting outside constantly, but she [...]

Our chestnut Llewellin Setter, Santana

Geesh, already 10 days into a new year, can you believe it? I thought I would start some new things this year, but I have already forgotten what they were! Well, ok, I haven’t forgotten everything. I must get back to the photo contest, photo of the day, and writing more, that is for sure.  [...]

We are thrilled to announce the breeding of Shay to Ike. We expect puppies the week of February 10th, 2011, going to new homes around the week of April 4th, 2011. Both Shay and Ike are obsessed with birds, are very intelligent dogs with excellent noses, bird-sense, and have wonderful personalities.  Both Shay and Ike [...]

Another Excellent Day of Upland Bird Hunting

We had a nice change in the temperature today…. and more rain. Didn’t have to worry about the gnats today, just keeping dry. It was another fantastic day of upland bird hunting with some awesome dog work. I even got the 5 month-old pup, Jess, on another grouse! He was amazing working a large meadow [...]
