For sale by private treaty, six males and one female, our first breeding for 2019, whelped 3/24.  Blizzard's Huntmore Bella  (Lancer X Shoeleather Reba, 04/05/16 FDSB: 1670523) is a stunningly beautiful white, black, tan and ticked female that is, simply put, an athlete, one of the top breeding prospects we have been privileged to own.  This sturdy, 45lb female is hard going yet tractable, tenacious on the hunt, with the nose and brains to excel. When she slams into points, she dead solid stays put , period!   So much point and high style - Check out the photo of her locked down on a small setter garden statue in our yard; Bella swung in and locked up and "backed" that little Llewellin likeness! Her 12 o'clock tail is rooted high on the back as it should be, insuring plenty of "rear wheel drive," a hallmark of all our bloodstock.  With Bella, it was all natural from puppyhood on.  Her tight feet, correct bite, well sprung ribs and the classic Blizzard Llewellin head with a proper stop and square muzzle makes this robust female breathtakingly beautiful. Bella is sweet and loving, the total package.

Rock was born here at our home.  When he returned this winter for some additional schooling, the first thing we noticed was his attentive persona - alert, driven, but exceedingly cooperative, much like his sire, Blizzard's Huntmore Parker.  So far in our work together, Rock shows what I would call an exceptional nose, one that I suspect is better than I have seen in a while. His owners said as much from his work on wild bobwhites. This is a beautiful dog, his chiseled black head with its good stop and deep muzzle especially nice.  He is the athlete we've come to expect from the Parker X Dixie nick, and he points with their offsprings' signature high style at both ends. So far his biddability/learning ability are truly gratifying. This mating is the perfect start to our 2019 puppy year, and we are proud to offer Rock X Bella puppies at private treaty.

Blizzard's Huntmore Parker (FDSB# 1670496)

Parker is a 55 lb. athlete of great drive and yet uncommon tractability, a natural talent who is anxious to please every time out.  He has that classic chiseled head of "The Old Ones," with a deep muzzle and pronounced stop.  His bite is correct; his conformation is built for all-day performance in our rugged mountains.  Parker goes to his birds with great confidence and points with crackling intensity, a perfect example of the Blizzard Llewellins bred by Joe and Lori Noe, tracing back to the great setter gun dogs bred here in London, Kentucky, by Joe's mentor, Mr. Bob Johnson.  Parker is also available at stud by private treaty to select females.

Rivers Dashing Dixie (#1626306)

Born of royal blood, Rivers Dashing Dixie was raised here at Huntmore, the paternal granddaughter of our own grouse savant Huntmore Bleu Spice.  Dixie carries two lines to the great Awbonnies Bull, two lines to Highway Dan, 1999 National Llewellin Setter Gun Dog Classic winner, the 2001 Midwest Llewellin Setter Classic winner, and 2001 Kentucky Open Llewellin Setter Gun Dog winner.

 At six months, she was placed with our New Hampshire friend George Gubitose where she developed into a fine performer on woodcock and grouse.  The Gubitose family produced four litters of fine wild bird dogs with Dixie, before, in a gesture of real friendship, sending her home to Huntmore to contribute to our family life and Llewellin breeding program.  

 In March 2017, we bred her to Blizzard’s Huntmore Parker, producing a litter that is proving out as exceptional companion gun dogs.  Opportunity is all they’ve needed;  the talent was put there by Dixie and Parker.  Our friend Kurt Robbins put his Parker/Dixie daughter down in the Georgia grouse woods as soon as she could navigate the cover.  He messaged the day, as he said, “…(T)he light switch came on!”, and he killed two grouse and a woodcock over Ginger’s solid points.  According to Kurt, she handled easily and was “a hunting machine,” highlighting her season by pointing a woodcock with the grouse she was retrieving secured in her mouth!  Surely you can see why we have high hopes for this repeat breeding, due in May, ready to start in your coverts this autumn.

 In the field, Dixie is a 43 lb. dynamo, a shorter-coupled, balanced dog running on tight feet and a powerful rear drive anchored by a high-set, short straight tail.  She ranges comfortably and with purpose, pointing with electric intensity.  Dixie is also an engaging companion dog, a favorite with our children.  With Parker, she produces charismatic, well-marked puppies with square-chiseled heads and brains that rival their beauty.  Dixie/Parker puppies start early, develop quickly, and show a strong carrying trait as natural retrievers.
