Hope is a Tri-Chestnut dog (white/chestnut/tan), which is a rare color combination in the Llewellin. Her body is predominantly white, with chestnut patches and body ticking, tan points (cheek and brow coloring) and a combination of chestnut and tan ticking on her legs.

Hope has a perfectly symmetrical full-hood which means her head and ears are mostly chestnut. She has only one body patch on her right rear hind quarters which gives her body more of a belton-type look which is mostly ticking and is not broken up by lots of body patches. Her tail and feathering are white.

Henry PrinceOf Pause (aka Hank) - Sire owned by Dez Young of Oregon. "Hank" was from the show "Hunting with Hank" which has aired on the Outdoor Life Network and is Hope's paternal grandsire. (1994 - 2004)

Bull was a great grouse dog of tremendous stamina and will to find birds coupled with a superior nose and intellect. Bull made birds. He became a grouse dog with such desire and drive he was a handful. One thing only on his mind, "Find another grouse!". From his humble beginnings as a dog [hunting] too close, he emerged as a great one few men ever witness. Grouse dogs are at the very top of the realm of birddog excellence and he was at the top of this loyal order.
