What's in a name?
Savanna was whelped and raised here in our Litter V, (Benelli x Rev). Her temporary "V" litter name was "Vanna" and we really liked it so we kept it, in a way... We now call her "Savanna", but mostly "Savvy" for short.
She is a 3rd generation pup from of our H.O.P.E line. We bred her great-grand-dam "Duchess of Adena" to TV Hank's son "Sillman's Hank Boy" (aka Hank Jr), she is the daughter of Benelli, grand-daughter of HOPE, thus keeping that bloodline alive.
In honor of Splash, our foundation stud and logo mascot, she continues the tradition of our Llew Crew "S" name lineup, along with our earlier pups, Skylar, Shayla, Sawyer, Shelby, and Steele.

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.
