Paint River Llewellins live as hunting family dogs that must prove themselves on wild birds in the Upper Midwest for six weeks during the hunting season. We get their hips certified and extensive genetic testing completed. Our dogs' happiness, health and hunting careers always comes first. An important message from Paint River Llewellin Setters:
As a responsible breeder and trainer of quality working dogs I feel it is my duty to urge all people looking for companion-only dogs versus hunting-family dogs, to support one of your local shelters and find a dog in need of a home to adopt that is a great fit for your household. There are hundreds of thousands of dogs who need homes in shelters across this country alone. While I bring many dogs into this world I feel very strongly that if your future dog is not going to be a working dog doing what the breed was bred to do as a dog lover it's your duty to look after our shelter dogs that deserve a loving home. While Paint River Llewellins are bred to be great family dogs that is one side of the coin. The other is their workability that is unparallelled. So when looking at a long term commitment such as this please think wisely for both yourself and all the homeless dogs out there. For me, my Llewellins are poetry in motion that provide me with tremendous joy in watching them utilize their instincts that have been bred into them for over a century and with such a team spirit. This just puts me in awe of them. To top it off they are the main reason our dinner is on the table that night after our hard day's work. So even though my llews snuggle with me in bed and pal around all over the place with me— think of a shelter dog when you think companion dog. Think of a Llewellin Setter when you think hunting-family dog.

Solid hunt for Miiko this morning. Found and handle four birds like the pro she is. Kept it short for her as this probably her last hunt of the season. Shes entering her last trimester now here in a few days and that’s usually when I retire the pregnant dogs to rest and comfort as the last three weeks the pups do about 75% of their growth before birth. If it is her last hunt she sure gave me a nice show and a memorable one at that.

It was a sultry fall day. The colors look@that of fall but the temps were reminiscent of August and September today. Dogs had a little@action and we capitalized going 1/1 on our chances. Namé worked her magic and everyone else held their own for the most part. Hopefully we get another cool down soon.
