There are only a few other Llewellin breeders I would get a dog from including Dashwood (TX) and Paint River (MI). The four I mention here have very defined breeding programs and are very involved with UC Davis’s Llewellin genetic diversity program that helps them breed the right dogs. Check out the various Llewellin FB groups where you may find a breeder you like.

Byron Sanders is a good guy, I bought my Parker Repo 28 GA. from him many years ago. I can say the same for his hunting partner and trainer Richie Dixon and his son. Richie is located in Mt. Vernon, IN.
