llewellen setter

[stevoman]

well folks. its my first post so hello to everyone. im from ireland, 26 years old and do i just cant get enough of hunting. i bought a lovely 5 month old lewellen setter at the weekend and she comes from excellent working strain. i was wondering has anyone ever had any of these dogs and if so can they give me any tips for training and what to expect with a dog of this breed. As any of you dog men out there know the lewellen is very similar to the english setter. i am going to start her training as soon as i can and i will need all the help and advice i can get. thanks a million lads.

 

happy hunting

Welcome to the forum.

 

I have worked several Llewellin Setters over the years, having just lost my last one a year ago. As with all pointers go slow and steady with her. Remember with pointers if you use a cross word, or a rough hand you will blow a weeks training. They take corrections very personnal. Get started on her obediance work now before she forums too many bad habits.

 

Let us know if we can be of any help.

thanks for the advice. i wasnt aware that they took a shout at them so personally. i have had her out yesterday and she wont come to call for me, she will only come when the older dog does. also she seems a little shy of me lately. all the advice i can get will be much appreciated so it will.

 

could you please give me a few tips on oniedence training, maybe im expecting too much of her but i could really use the help.

 

thanks a million!

There is an obediance program pinned at the top of this section. Read through it 2 or 3 times and if you have any questions ask away.
