Your little puppy [Rissa, Litter R] is becoming a great grouse dog - a relentless firecracker that just knifes through the Wisconsin north woods. We’re going out again this Saturday and I could walk with her without a gun - I just love to see Ginger work and to be as happy as she is running and hunting. Ginger spent 4 weeks with her trainer in May and another 3 weeks in September. She’s blossomed and hunts hard for her owner. She has the best nose, many times locking up 30 yards from a bird launcher before closing in. Exuberant but always checking back after she casts out. And as my trainer says she is always ‘stylin’ when she works. And she’s just a good house dog. You make good puppies! -- Paul Denis, October 2018 |

We were originally drawn to Hickory Hollow Llewellin Setters by the website. It was the most professional website we found after searching through many others. Once we got in touch with Hickory Hollow, we continued to be impressed with the attention to detail and thoroughness. As we awaited our pup, we enjoyed the consistent updates with pictures, videos, and the LIVE PuppyCam. We could see from these updates that the facilities were clean, safe, and puppy friendly. Laura puts her heart and soul into every litter and ensures that each puppy is happy and healthy. Fast forward almost 3 years later, we now have our second puppy from Hickory Hollow.

We just recently got our pup from HHLS [Uno, Litter U] and it was amazing!! I loved being able to check on the puppies daily with the live pup cam!! And the pup blogs always kept us informed on the well being of the puppies!! Best experience we have ever had!! Our family truly loves the hard work and dedication HHLS puts in to raising the best dogs they can!! -- Krista Ringdahl, August 2018 |

What an awesome puppy experience. I am one of the people who prefer getting an older puppy or young dog. Logan [aka Nash, Litter N] was such a neat little pup. Hickory Hollow was with me from the moment I made the deposit! I was pretty high on the list to pick a pup and thought of the colors I wanted...but I was pointed in the path of the best personality to fit in with my family. He has been awesome in every sense of the word! Puppy, adolescence and adult. Thank you Hickory Hollow!!! -- Katherine Hersman, August 2018 |

Dixie [aka Quill, Litter Q] just got back from her first two weeks of gun dog training. Learning gun and introduction to birds. We are proud to say she is a stellar student. Most impressive, eager for birds, high drive and very confident. The big bonus is she is actually retrieving, which as you know most setters are not fans or do not do at all. We are very pleased and compliments from our trainer, he said you have your breeding down and know what you're doing. I thought you would like to know! Next training is in February or early March, obedience and more pointing training. -- Keith Galvin, December 2016 |

Everyone who has hunted or worked with Pete [aka Emerson, Litter E] has been amazed. With his natural ability and desire he makes me look like a good trainer. I am a little worried though, they say you're lucky to get one great bird dog in your life and I'm too young to have mine already. He gets non-stop compliments on his good looks and personality and he loves everyone he meets. Thanks again to Laura for the great job she's done at Hickory Hollow. -- Jason Hochstetler, March 2009 |

When he went to the vet... everyone there fell in love with Mac [aka Fenway, Litter F]. They had never seen a Llewellin and are excited to see him each time we bring him in for visits. Everyone made odd comments about us traveling so far [from Michigan to Iowa] to get our puppy, but when they meet Mac, they can see why we chose Hickory Hollow and this breed. -- Linda Van Zee, September 2009 |

This entire experience has been most enjoyable. Your frequent updates through the pregnancy and after the birth of the pups, plus the weekly photos have been a lot of fun. Marla and I want to thank you for such a rewarding experience. We are certainly looking forward to the future with our new pup [Cisco, Litter C]. -- Allan Polenz, 2007 |

Top Two Reasons for getting a Hickory Hollow Llewellin Setter: 1. I can't imagine any breeder being better than Hickory Hollow. From initial contact through pickup day and follow-ups, the professionalism and communication skills are beyond expectations. You will know everything there is to know about your pup long before you pick him up. I suspect that most breeders care and love their pups while they are still in the birthing kennel but Laura no doubt loves all the pups no matter how old or where they live. 2. This is the most important reason: The HHLS's are the best gun dogs in the world. They are the smartest. They have the best noses. They have the best eyes. Let one live with you and they will give you more love than you can accept. Let one hunt with you and they'll show you what you're looking for. Then if you shoot a bird, they go and find it; all the while with the excitement of someone having more fun than should be legal and with unbelievable beauty. -- Tim Sims, July 2008
I always have people stop and ask me what kind of dog Honey is [aka Chloe Litter C], where I got her, how much, what town you are near.... people get so excited with her behavior! I feel like a proud beaming mother. I also like telling them how lucky I was with her being breeder pick and you letting me have her (giving her up for me). I just wanted you to know how great of a dog she is becoming! I look forward to many many years with her! -- Cassandra Steadman, 2008

I can't tell you how excited we are to have "Flash" as a member of our family! Everyone is absolutely thrilled, and can't wait to meet him (and definitely you) in person. Thanks so much for making this such an enjoyable experience from the very beginning! -- Tamera Schlueter, April 2009
