COLORING & DESCRIPTIONS

      While LITTER CHARTS will show small spots of corresponding color of the larger patches seen at birth, the PHOTOS of pups under 6 weeks of age will only show the major markings.  Most of the lines of Llewellin pups are dominantly white at birth.  As the ‘puppy coat’ sheds they will soon develop small colored spots (called ticking which is indicated as Ticked, abbreviated Tkd.) of the same color as the major patches, such as Black, Tan, Orange or Chestnut all over their body.  You will not be able to determine how many small ticks the pups will have until about 3 to 6 months old because they keep appearing the older the pup gets.  The degree of ticking indicated on the charts is a guess based on the amount of ticking of the Sire and Dam.   

      Pups that are born WHITE, when older, will end up with a number of small spots or ticking and are called BELTONS:  Orange Belton, Chestnut Belton or Blue Belton.  The black ticking in a Belton is called Blue because the BLACK hair mingles with the surrounding WHITE hair to form a bluish-gray coloring. 

      Belton ticking is the same type of spotting as the spots of color on a Dalmatian; the difference is in the long coat of hair.  Rarely this ticking does not tend to mingle and in such case the Dalmatian type of ticking is striking.   The eventual coloring on these white Belton pups is impossible to determine until around 5 weeks of age.  The degree or amount of ticking of an individual pup can only be estimated by the amount of ticking in both the sire and dam.  The mating of 2 dogs of like coloration does not predetermine the coloring of the offspring.  The Tan gene is in all Llewellins.  The presence of this Tan coloring possibility is what makes the possibility of the variety of coloring. 

      A few Beltons are TRI-COLORED or Tri-Beltons.  Tri-Beltons are the same as a Blue Belton but develop Tan ticking around the muzzle and on the feet.  A Belton may be lightly, moderately or heavily ticked.   

Dominant color at time of birth is listed first, next largest amount, and smallest amount of color.  Again all large spots will show up on the pup at the time of birth.   

The basic and majority of pups is White & Black.   

TRI-COLOR is used on pups that are a combination of White, Black, Tan and Ticked.   

Rarely a Tri-Color may be White, Chestnut, Tan and Ticked and are listed as TRI-CHESTNUT.

PRICES:  SEE INDIVIDUAL LITTER SHEETS FOR PRICING

MALES start at -- $450.00  FEMALES start at -- $550.00  

Although the demand is greater for males than females, females are priced higher because I do not have as many female pups per litter.

Neither a male nor a female makes a better hunting dog than the other. 

The choice is a matter of personal preference. 

Males average 5 to 10 pounds more than females; ultimately size also has a lot to do with personal choices.  Also keep in mind that Veterinary guidelines now recommend that a dog be neutered or spayed if not breed regularly.   

Exceptions to these prices are due to:

(1) older pups and Started or Trained Dogs

(2) the number of dogs we have available for breeding within particular bloodlines

(3) age of sires and dams, these could well be the last litters for some

(4) BLUE BELTONS are priced an additional $50.00

(5) ORANGE/TAN marked pups are priced an additional $50.00

      [An ORANGE BELTON OR TAN BELTON would be an additional $50.00.]

(6) TAN combined with White & Black [ TRI-BELTON & TRI-COLORED] is an additional $50.00

      [ Tan combined with White & Chestnut [ TRI-CHESTNUT ] is an additional $50.00

(6) CHESTNUT marked pups [Dark Brown or Liver color] are also priced $50.00 more because of their rarity. 

      [A CHESTNUT BELTON is an additional $50.00.]   

Your total expense is the price listed on each litter sheet. 

In addition, since ID Chips are now required for registration, we will place ID Chips in all pups before leaving here.  Please add an additional $25.00 for the ID Chip to the purchase price. 

Five Generation Pedigrees are also required for registration, the registration book has already been provided with a minimum of a five generation pedigree on all our dogs. 

NO CHARGES FOR SHOTS, HEALTH RECORDS, OR HEALTH CERTIFICATES!

If you are unable to visit us to pick up your pup add $40.00 for the crate. Shipping expense is COD.
