component (bloodline/s), the offspring cannot carry the name "Dashing
Bondhu" or just "Dashing" or just "Bondhu" as part of it's name.
Including all dogs transferred.
8. No Transfer Registration if any "Straight Creek" bloodlines or any dogs owned
or bred by Bob Bailey (aka Bob's Straight Creek Kennel) are in it's pedigree or
in it's ancestry. All dogs owned, sold, bred, by Bob Bailey are considered to have
questionable pedigrees. If you care about the Llewellin Setter BREED, you will
not breed dogs with any of Bob Bailey's Straight Creek dogs in their ancestry. If
you purchase from breeders who do, you will be supporting those who do.
9. No Transfer Registration of any dogs who the IPDBA Genetics Board has
determined to be a likely carrier of one or more inherited genetic disorders. This
includes all dogs with "Count Gladstone Wind'em D'Hurlain Pre", and/or dogs
with "D'Hurlain" as part of their name, in their ancestry. These Wind'em
bloodlines imported from Belgium from breeder Marie Thérèse à Goës by Keith
Smith of Lynn Hill Kennel. When these dogs were line bred (same ancestry),
they produced deaf, blind, and major hip problems. If you care about the
Llewellin Setter BREED you should never breed dogs with any "D'Hurlain"
bloodline in them. Doing so, will spread these inherited genetic disorders
throughout the breed and eventually, ALL dogs within the breed will be
carriers and will ALL produce them. If you purchase from breeders who do,
you will be supporting those who do.
10. All registrations issued with the right to correct or revoke reserved by IPDBA.

BREED, you will not breed dogs with any of Bob Bailey's Straight Creek dogs
in their ancestry.
5. No Litter Registration if either parent has any dogs in their ancestry who the
IPDBA Genetics Board has determined to be alikely carrier of one or more
inherited genetic disorders. This includes all pedigrees with "Count Gladstone
Wind'em D'Hurlain Pre", and/or all dogs with "D'Hurlain" as part of their
name, Wind'em bloodlines imported from Belgium by Keith Smith of Lynn
Hill Kennel. When these dogs were line bred (same ancestry), they produced
deaf, blind, and pups with major hip problems. If you care about the Llewellin
Setter BREED you should never breed dogs with "D'Hurlain" bloodline in
them. Doing so, will spread these genetic disorders throughout the breed and
eventually, ALL dogs within the breed will likely become carriers and will
ALL produce them.
Recommendations to Breeder's
Please tattoo and microchip each pup before placing them in their new homes. It is very difficult and expensive for individual owners to get their pups tattooed and/or Micro chipped and protects you from the buyer switching pups and/or making false accusations about the pup not being the correct pup.
The ideal and most reasonable tattoo equipment available for tattooing small pups that will remain readable when they are adults, is available at www.bassequipment.com . We recommend using green ink (roll-on or paste) and tattooing them with three digits at 5 weeks or older ( most breeders tattoo the last three digits of the microchip number).
We also recommend Micro chipping every pup before placing them. We recommend the he Mini-Pro ID Microchips (smallest microchip) are available direct wholesale from Microchip ID Systems at www.microchipidsystems.com and are automatically registered to you the breeder and you can contact a person if the pup is lost and found. Buyers can easily register the chip in their name online for just $24.95 for a Life-Time.
If you purchased a Setter pup without Tattoo or Microchip or are transferring a Setter to IPDBA, it is actually cheaper to purchase the Tattoo 0-9 numbers, ink and a microchip yourself using the above companies, than have your Vet do them.
IPDBA Genetic's Board recommends Line-breeding (family breeding) your dogs rather than Out-crossing (totally unrelated) breeding your dogs. Line-breeding will assure no new genetic recessives will be added to your breeding program, while Out-crossing can introduce and hide many inherited genetic disorders for many generation until many dogs within the breed and your kennel will become carriers. Many popular dog breeds today are close to extinction today because of 30-40 years of Out-crossing and can no longer produce a healthy litter of pups. Line-breeding will only produce pups with genetic problems "IF" the parent/s are carrier/s of the a problem and genetic mutations and they can be removed from your breeding program as soon as possible, saving your breeding program and the whole breed from their genetic mutations. Out-crossing will hide and multiple all mutations until it has been spread throughout your breeding program and throughout the whole breed resulting is the major problems that most breeder's will not want to deal with, resulting in a dying breed.
