Llewellin Setter
Puppies Available!

First off, I would like to say that we are not dog dealers and never buy to resale any puppies or dogs of any kind. We own all our dogs and are not partners with any other kennel. After 37 plus years experience at professional training, breeding, and hunting bird dogs of many breed's, we simply wanted to own, breed the most "Natural" pleasure foot hunting bird dogs and loyal, loving family companions found in the world. They are Mr. Llewellin's personal bloodline that he personally developed for over 50 years and they are the very purest proven Dashing Bondhu Llewellin Setters found anywhere in the world. There are no purer stock to be found anywhere in the world and ours are the only ones being Gun Dog Certified before being used for breeding assuring that each dog be completely "Natural" from point, retrieve, and backing and most of all, have a strong willingness to please their owner.

We no longer professionally train dogs, but maintain our own personal kennel of these amazing pure Dashing Bondhu Llewellin Setters and only raise select litters each year, usually when we personally, a family member, or close friend wants a pup out of a special litter for their own pleasure hunting and our breeding program.

Because of their near extinction of the pure Humphrey Dashing Bondhu bloodline, we have decided to increase our breeding program to make sure we will have a healthy gene pool of pure Dashing Bondhu's for our friends, family, children, and grand children's future. All our Llewellin Setters are raised as part of our family and are our own personal pleasure bird dogs as well as our family and farm companions and all we raise ourselves are GUN DOG CERTIFIED as soon as possible.

All our pups we offer are not only out of the best Llewellin Dashing Bondhu bloodlines that can be found, but are also out of Gun Dog Certified, carefully selected, fully trained, parents, and not just a bunch of brood dogs kept in a puppy factory or puppy mill for generation after generation to just sell puppies. This is also very important for those who want a  personal companion/pet or a combination pet/foot hunting gun dog, because it assures you the buyer that your puppies parents were "natural, easy to train, able to learn commands, of excellent temperament, and most of all have a strong willingness to please their master".

Most of our customers keep asking us how we house trained our pups as young as 6 weeks of age. The truth is, we don't, our pups are highly intelligent and are naturally clean and don't want to soil in their homes. With a little attention, most will never make a mistake. In fact be sure to take your pup to a part of your yard that you want them to use and most will only do their business in that area for the rest of their lives, when let out.

Absolutely, NO shocking or tracking collars are needed to train or hunt our Llewellin Setters. In fact, it might ruin them! No professional training is required either. They are "NATURALS", meaning they only need a little guidance and will do everything naturally and only need to be taken where there are birds. Our dogs hunt to PLEASE their master and FOR their master. The Dashing Bondhu Llewellin Setter line has always been known to produce the ultimate gentlemen's/ladies foot hunting bird dogs for over 134 years now and they will continue to do the same today guaranteed!

Please Note: All pups are tattooed, micro chipped, photo identified, and are litter registered with the International Progressive Dog Breeders' Alliance 'IPDBA' at no extra cost to you the buyer. IPDBA blue litter registration papers and Health records with up to date vaccine and worming records are provided with every puppy we place.

Safe AVID Micro chips are also implanted and registered to you personally for FREE! If your pup/dog is ever lost or stolen and later recovered and scanned, you will be contacted and told his or her where abouts ASAP. We personally know of a customer who had his pet stolen and was reunited a year later hundreds of miles away. Microchips do work in locating lost dogs as well in saving their lives from kill animal shelters.

Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!
The best guarantee provided in the dog world!

Because we select only NATURAL pure-bred PROVEN GUN DOG CERTIFIED pure Dashing Bondhu bloodlines and NO other strains, out-crosses or breeds of bird dogs to breed and always breed to the highest standards for, GENETIC HEALTH, NATURAL qualities, HIGHEST intelligence, and most of all a STRONG WILLINGNESS TO PLEASE their master, even for the most discriminate of HUNTER'S and OWNER'S, we are able to back each and EVERY pup we place with a 100% SATISFACTION LIFE-TIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE!

If you are not completely satisfied with your pup/dog at anytime, simply return it for a FREE replacement of a pup of the equal value of the purchase price. 

Our guarantee includes ANYTHING and EVERYTHING meaning ANY and ALL birth defects or genetic inherited conditions possible, including hips, backs, legs, eyes, ears, heart's, kidney's, etc., from the tip of their nose to tip of their tail and to the tips of their toes, ARE ALL COVERED! Also, temperaments and hunting ability to your COMPLETE SATISFACTION! I'd like to see you find a better guarantee anywhere. 

The only thing that would not be covered are physical injuries or neglect of any kind after the puppy/dog has left our possession, any injuries or neglect will null and void our guarantee. Also, the puppies/dogs must be well cared for and the buyer must supply records showing that all vaccines, wormings, and heart worm preventative has been maintained while in their possession at time of return.

Please note, because our Dashing Bondhu bloodline's are extremely intelligent, many of our pups will not point a bird wing. This is because they are so intelligent, they actually know that the wing is dead and many will only try and catch a wing to retrieve it to you and will not point one, regardless how much you try. Fear not, this has NO indication on their ability to POINT steady on LIVE bird scent and your pup well  point on live birds where it really matters. In fact, because of this trait, our dogs are much less likely to false point, relocate points, or flash point wasting a hunter's time and will have the bird/s when they point.

Also, a very high percentage of our Llewellin Setter pups and adults will point with confidence naturally holding their heads and tails high similar or a little lower then the dog pictured in the background. If you want a dog that points old world style, insecure, holding it's tail low, head down, they may be force trained to do so, even though low carriage is not a natural trait for a confident bird dog with exceptional scenting ability and is not preferred by American hunter's. We do not recommend you purchase one of our pups if you prefer a low style bird dog or you don't want a highly intelligent dog. Shipping and transportation costs are not covered.

Though they can be easily trained to flush birds on command, we personally don't use our Llewellin Setters to flush birds. We feel that this contradicts their naturally bred and programed instinct to hold their points solid until the hunter or handler flushes the bird/s and hold until a bird is shot down.

It's our opinion that the only times a dog should break point is when birds are moving on the run, like Pheasants and Chukar are very apt to do. Most of our dogs will instinctively back off a point when this happens and circle around the birds cutting them off and re-pointing them to pin them down between you and them leaving no where for the birds to go. Also, when they make a long point off the bird/s and they are instructed with a light tap on one ear to move up and re-point closer to the bird/s and when they rarely point out of sight of the hunter in thick cover and have not been located by their master for a while, most will naturally back off their point to locate their master and will lead them back to the birds and re-point them. These were highly favored traits by Mr. Llewellin, Mr. Humphrey's, and Fr. Brannon's personal dogs and are all still very strong instincts we favor in these Setter's today.
 
 

Dashing Bondhu dogs Past and Present

A perfect example how similar the Dashing Bondhu's are today from yesterday, with the original Dash II pictured on the left and  134 years later Hank's Ringo Bondhu pictured on the right. Can there be any doubt that they are pure Dashing Bondhu?

BTW, Hank's Ringo Bondhu, is out of OLN's "Hank" and Dashing Chess Bondhu (Blaze's littermate) and is the sire of our Hank, Chess, Henrietta, Missy and the grand sire of our Princess, Tonette, Freckles, and Babe and is half brother to Irish Chess Bondhu, and is related to all the rest of our dogs. So you can see he is in our dogs a lot of times. Of course Dash II is in all our dogs many, many times, waaaaaaaaaaay back.

New Testimony I am sure a lot of people out there who have not owned one of our dogs find what we say about them too good to be true or cannot believe they can be that "Natural" or easily trained. Here are some emails from a customer who we did not know before he contacted us to purchase a pup for grouse hunting and is now kind enough to let us use him as a personal reference. Jimmy Cantrell is from West Liberty, Kentucky.

Mike this is Jimmy Cantrell. Just wanted to let you know I just got back home last night from Wisconsin, where I spent the first 9 days of their Grouse season hunting. I took the pup I got from you (which was the real reason for this early season hunt) and he was amazing. He hunted as good as my 10 year old grouse dog. He pointed and held every grouse he encountered and never bumped or put any of them in the air. He is the most careful dog I have. My friend was so shocked that he started telling everyone about it and got on his cell phone to let people know. The pup acted as if he had experienced grouse for years and new how to work them. This is all from instinct and no formal training what so ever. This is going to be a very special dog. And just think, he just turned one year old a couple of weeks ago and I will get many years of enjoyment out of him. Continue to use me as a reference  if you want and I am sure that if any of my friends make any future purchases they will be from you. 

Thanks Mike and God Bless.

Jimmy

This is my Pups very first grouse hunt. He was incredible. He acted as if he had hunted them for years and it was all instinctively with no training. It's totally amazing.

These were grouse were shot over him on his very first hunt.

Pup turned 12 months old August 29th and hunted Grouse like an old pro. Wonderful grouse dog and has never been trained. Pointed the very first grouse he ever encountered. We killed grouse from him and he never made one mistake. 

What a wonderful dog.

Subject: RE: Hank

His Full Name is “Hanks Royal Flush” and he is also backing and retrieving. There are so many wonderful stories to tell about him just from our 9 day hunt. One time both, Hank and my female Llewellin Belle pointed at the same time only about 4 feet apart, they were side by side. Me and my hunting companion walked up, flushed the Bird, and shot it down with Belle in pursuit for the retrieve. But Hank never moved the entire time, staying staunch on point. My hunting buddy looked at me and said I think he still smells that Grouse and will not break point. We walked a few short steps in front of him and to our surprise he had another grouse nailed on point. We were also able to knock that one down for him. It was amazing that even though he saw the other bird flush and Belle break to retrieve, to hold on this other bird. Like I said it would take some time to tell you all the amazing stories. We had 5 dogs on the trip, but my friend kept saying “Hank is the man”. Our other dogs ranged from 3 years old to 10 years old. We have some really good dogs but to have one that age (Barely 1 year old) to hold his own with them was amazing. Thanks Mike for a wonderful pup (or should I now say Dog) since he seems to have grown up in one short hunting trip.

I would not have told this story myself if I had not had witnesses. One thing for sure all the bird hunters in the area seem to know all about his hunting ability because word is spreading around here about him. People that witnessed it are bragging on him big time. I have been asked by others if the stories that have been told are true.

Please note that Mountain View Kennel does not breed or select for color and while the Dashing Bondhu bloodlines are capable of producing all the recognized Llewellin Setter colors, the large majority of the Dashing Bondhu pups being produced today are either Tri-Color (White, Black, Tan, & Ticked) or Tri-Belton (White, Black, Tan & Ticked) in color just like their ancestors Llewellin's own FdCh. Armstrong's Dash II (Dashing) and FdCh. Dashing Bondhu (Bondhu). Followed by many White, Black, & Ticked, Blue Beltons (White with Black ticking) and some White & Chestnut, Chestnut Belton (White with Chestnut ticking), Tri-Chestnut (White, Chestnut & Tan Chestnut) and occasionally some White & Orange and Orange Beltons (White with Orange ticking) may also be produced, usually when a parent is one. 

A complete list of possible colors are as follows:

Predominant colors are listed first in order.

The spotting that begins to come out a few weeks after birth is called ticking.

All Tri dogs will have some degree of Tan markings on their muzzle and Tan ticking on lower legs and feet.

Common Colors:
White, Black & Ticked = W, B & Tkd.
Tri Color: White, Black, Tan & Ticked = W, B, T, & Tkd.

Rare Colors:
White, Orange & Ticked = W, O & Tkd.
