Would you care to share Max's lineage? What breeder? How much does he weigh?

Gary, Max (48 lbs.) came from Highland Llewellin Setters, Mechanicsburg, IL. Owners are J.D. Waters and Caren Mansfield. Caren is active on Facebook and with the National Llewellin Setter Gun Dog Club and their Facebook group. Their dog line emanated from a now retired Llewellin breeder Glen Roark (IN) that in the mid-late 1970's bought some of my grandfathers Llewellin's before he retired from breeding and field trialing. My grandfather's dogs were a continuation of his father's line of Llewellin's that started around 1885. Needless to say there's more to the story that I can certainly entertain (or bore) you with. Max's full name is Highland Maximus Wind'em. Count Wind'em was an early Llewellin bred dog from back in the day. Characteristically, Highland dogs seem to be a very hard working and personable gun dogs that do well on almost all upland birds. Most of Highland's are Blue Belton, Tri-color (like mine) and occasionally Orange Belton. If you care to know more feel free to send a PM.

What a beautiful setter. I really like the coloring of his head. I hope you have years of good hunting -- and companionship -- in your future.

Tom, thanks so much for the lowdown on Max. I was really just curious as he is one of the finest looking setters I've seen in a while. Not really looking for a pup. I've got my hands full this summer helping train my buddies new pup. A fine looking female setter from the Long Gone Setters line.
