Become a member of PRL Vimeo On Demand!

PRL is incredibly excited to announce a new project that is finally getting off the ground after many years of just not making the time in our busy dog breeding and training career. Every year my puppy clients ask for resources and my guidance and I’ve been saying for years I was going to get this started so here we go!

PRL has a new Vimeo On Demand page. You can join this video information center for all things bird dogs by joining the annual subscription on the Paint River Llewellins Vimeo page at the link provided here and at the bottom of this post.

This video library is very new and limited at this time but is and will be a valuable resource for everyone raising their Llewellin puppy and other upland breeds. These are home videos made by me and those close to me. Do not expect blockbuster cinematography. These videos are very basic to more in-depth and are only going to growing exponentially throughout this year.

I have been training dogs for 26 years of that time, professionally for 22 years. Having worked with over 4400 dogs and 3200 dog owners encompassing— basic obedience, disabled persons service dogs, SAR/LE dogs; including tracking/trailing/wilderness area search in both live find & cadaver, other detector dogs, rehabilitating aggressive dogs, waterfowl search work, and of course!— upland dogs both pointing and flushing breeds.

As a young boy this passion was sparked by seeing the natural ability displayed when hunting with our herman shorthaired pointer. 28 years later… seeing, training and hunting with these upland dogs still makes me feel like that happy kid.

This video series will be on going adding content throughout the months and years. We will have live Vimeo chats, many sit down discussion topics and of course as jspring and summer weather roll around, lots of in the field training footage. PRL always has a few pups held onto for assessment each breeding season and members will get to be a part of this experience. Many ways to train dogs… we are not looking at reinventing the wheel here. However, as a trainer one thing people as handlers always do is over complicate training. Understanding what and how a pup processes its experiences can largely determine the outcome with your bird dog. Let this membership page be a honest, competent, down to earth, common sense approach to developing your own bird dog from a nationally trusted source in breeding and training in me, Kyle Warren. Companion dogs, Search dogs and hunting dogs have been my passion and career my entire life and I look forward to sharing and growing this new chapter of my life with you.

While I have come to specialize in breeding and developing Llewellin setters for hunting ruffed grouse as my life’s obsession. The teachings within these videos are able apply to the majority of bird dogs. Genetics, bird exposure, setting up a quality learning environment and reading your dog are all valued components to success. I look forward to helping in as many of these areas as I can.

If you have been following us on social media you have seen that we had another wonderful season in the Great Lakes states hunting grouse and woodcock. We’ve been home for about two weeks hunting in New York now. Our hunting will whine down for the next couple weeks between our deer season and 4 of the 5 PRL girls are due to whelp over the next few weeks. Stay tune to here and on social media for updates on the litters. This season thus far has had amazing dog work in one of our rising little superstar’s is Azaadi. She’s out of Omiimii by Chippewa. At just over six months old she’s had over 100 grouse points with a couple dozen woodcock shot over her and 18 grouse shot over her. Pictured below is Azaadi on her most recent New York hunt that was certainly a day to remember.

Omiimii pups are here!

Pile O’ Pups!!! Haven’t bothered Omiimii yet to see if there’s anymore in there but we have a nice round number of 10 pups right now. Everyone currently looks good so we will see how they all manage over the next several days. The first week is always the most critical but looking good. Omiimii was a rock star to no surprise. Everyone with reservations will be contacted in the order of reservations made.

The season’s close.

Today wrapped up our 5 1/2 month ruffed grouse season… Where as always, we have pursued the king to witness magnificent dog work, experience the synergy between man and bird-dog, capturing grouse dogs doing what they do best in photos, putting food on the table while our partner lies at my feet telling stories of the days afield, and just experiencing the great outdoors day after day through the change in seasons of early fall till late winter with the companionship of a quality gun dog. We were fortunate to be able to pursue the king 84 days in our long season. Every season offers such humbling experiences and continued respect for the king of all gamebirds.

The dogs and I gave it a strong effort today for bird contacts. What a fantastic way to end the season! I brought two of my veterans along today in, Duncan and Pixel. They pointed between the two of them every bird that we came across together. Pixel had two terrific points and several nice honors. Duncan… The greatest dog that I will probably ever own. I pray that I can replicate this grouse dog. He hunted in total over four hours today and pointed every Ruff he came in contact with which totaled 10 grouse. I terribly missed three golden opportunities but the birds must have all been talking to each other today. I had clean chances to shoot the birds but they did there rising helicopter exit which I always miss no matter how hard I try to get above the bird. Then later on I ran into two of my very good grouse buddies where Duncan had a point for me but I was busy taking a beautiful photo while the bird took off and then he pinned the same bird twice for one of my buddies who will remain anonymous and unfortunately was not able to connect for Duncan. So there may not be any feathers in my bag but we ended the season on an incredibly high note! Here are a few photos from the day. Note the last picture of my wife’s celebration cake. She’s my whole support system year round. I love you and so do the dogs!
