What's in a name?

    I've always liked the name Sawyer ever since watching Josh Holloway play a character named Sawyer in the TV Show "Lost". It has always stuck with me as being a rugged, outdoorsy name just like the character he played which is perfect for a hunting dog.

    We acquired Sawyer from Blizzard's Huntmore Kennels as a 7-week old pup so we also used part of his founding kennel name in his registered name.  

    Sawyer was given an "S" name in honor of Splash, our foundation stud and logo mascot, he is the second pup in our new Llew Crew "S" name lineup.  

 

DNA / Health Screening

    DNA Parentage - American Field/UC Davis

    Result = VIP Blue and Gold Seal
    DNA #: AFP2238

    Sawyer has been DNA tested to prove Llewellin parentage by the UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. His certificate displays the Blue and Gold seal signifying "VIP" (Verifiable Identified Parentage) confirming both the sire and dam of the dog to be as stated in the pedigree, and confirming that he is a purebred Llewellin Setter.

    DNA Analysis - Embark

    Genetic Disease Results:  At Risk = 0, Carrier 0
    Inbreeding Coefficient = 15%
    Test Date: 01/08/19

    Sawyer's DNA sample was submitted to Embark for an all-inclusive genetic health test consisting of inbreeding coefficient and results for nearly all genetic mutation tests covering 165 diseases on over 200,000 genetic markers in 16 different areas (see more).
     

Embark DNA Report for Sawyer


    Hips - OFA

    Result = GOOD
    OFA #: Prelims
    Exam Date:  01/09/19
    Norberg Angle: R104°, L102° (GOOD range 100°-104°)
    Percent Coverage: R62.5%, L64.7%

    Sawyer had his hips x-rayed at 14 months instead of at 24 months. We did prelims on him to ensure his hips were healthy for our first planned breeding with Skylar (Litter W). With OFA prelims, since the dog was less than 24 months old at the time the images were taken, only one veterinarian evaluated the x-rays instead of three and he was given a rating but was not assigned an OFA #.

Hunting Style

    Sawyer is an intensely focused hunter, no amount of noise or action going on around him can distract him from his main focus, HUNTING! He has a strong prey drive with a nose-to-the-ground attitude.  He is a natural retriever and is gung ho about bringing things back to you. He is a brute of a dog at 65 pounds, he can bust through tough cover without letting it slow him down and has amazing stamina.

 

Temperament

    Sawyer is a typical happy-go-lucky male setter with a sweet and gentle nature. He loves attention and if he's not the pup getting it, he will budge right in for his fair share.  He's comical and is known as quite the goofball around our house.  He loves stalking and pointing our cat, but when he catches him he just plays with him.

    In the house Sawyer is a busy body, he always wants to be where we are so when we're on the move he tries to figure out where we're going so he can beat us to the destination. He's always tuned in to what we are doing and wants to be by our side at all times.

    He is a sensitive soul, so he feels bad when we're upset and puts on those heavy sad setter eyes making a pitiful plea for forgiveness. His main aim is to please and when given the praise he is due, he is a spirited and happy boy.

    Some words to describe him would be:
        Marmaduke, goofball, playful, affectionate, gentle, obedient, intent, focused, relentless, stealthy, strong prey drive, natural retriever, born to hunt.

    He's a little bit goofball mixed into a serious hunter.

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.
