He has the speed and power to disappear over a ridge 500 yards, hunt it forward a half mile, and then appear to the front, but I still think it'd be hard to lose him, even if you tried. He's good at tailoring his range to the cover. I think his best attributes are his endurance and his feet; he's the kind of dog you'd want if you could only have one, or for long trips in rough terrain. <BR/><BR/>Doc could use some backing training, but Sage even moreso.<BR/><BR/>I'm by no means a setter expert, but I've been doing some research for my next puppy. I think if you could get the frame and endurance of Doc and couple it with a bigger running western style dog you'd have quite an animal. <BR/><BR/>Take it easy,<BR/>JonJon Uharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236742963415301620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623439680318729811.post-41871366404918590842009-03-01T06:52:00.000-06:002009-03-01T06:52:00.000-06:00Sure glad I ran into your blog.

John, I've had 2 Llewellins, love them, but am thinking of bringing up a coverdog pup, who would hunt together with my 4 year old Genie who'll stretch out to 300 yards in scalie country but closes in to w/in 100 in thicker Gambels and Mearns country. How does Doc work together w/ Ike and/or Sage in terms of range and contact (checking in)?<BR/><BR/>Bill Gilchrist<BR/>Cave Creek, AZbill gilchristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351317284252977596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623439680318729811.post-1680090898941171322009-02-09T11:40:00.000-06:002009-02-09T11:40:00.000-06:00Yes...a trip through Kansa would have been nice......Yes...a trip through Kansa would have been nice...tried!
