Temperament and Character
Jimmy is a pure joy to be around and can best be described as a "gentleman". He loves to "hug" new people and will gently put his feet on your chest, but not in an obnoxious way. He is a very quiet boy and does not bark unless it's a special occasion to do so.
Jimmy is a real character. He has a quirky way about licking the air and will bring you many types of joys you never imagined. Jimmy's favorite game is to retrieve a tennis ball. He loves to squish it in his mouth. The farther you throw it the happier he is.

Ancestry
Duchess of Adena - Owned by HHLS. Duchess has produced proven pups with natural retrieving instincts as well as pups suited for work as therapy dogs.
Dashing Iron Mike - Owned by Straight Creek Kennels in West Liberty, KY. Mike was the winner of the first official Llewellin Setter Field Trials competition held in December 1994.
Awbonnie's Bull - Owned by Eric Jacobs of Huntmore Llewellins in Kentucky. Bull was an outstanding Grouse dog, his superior nose was rivaled by his incredible stamina and tremendous heart.
(05/1988 - 01/2000).
Bull was a great grouse dog of tremendous stamina and will to find birds coupled with a superior nose and intellect. Bull made birds. He became a grouse dog with such desire and drive he was a handful. One thing only on his mind, "Find another grouse!". From his humble beginnings as a dog hunting too close, he emerged as a great one few men ever witness. Grouse dogs are at the very top of the realm of birddog excellence and he was at the top of this loyal order.
