Abby is our little orphan. This is her story. Teri's family established Little Creek Lodge Hunt Club on their home farm back in 1994. In 1998, Teri came home from Madison to work for her parents at the hunt club. Shortly thereafter, a club member brought an eight-week-old little Llewellin puppy to Little Creek Lodge Hunting Club. This special little puppy soon became Teri's.
In the field Abby is a quick, yet very stylish hunter. She is also an excellent natural retriever. Abby is an absolute pleasure to watch and hunt behind. She does not have the typical tall and skinny setter build. She is smaller, only about 48 pounds, and muscular. This build is typical of Llewellin Setters.
What is Abby like off the field? Well, she is very affectionate, goofy, and loves to snuggle on the couch. She really is special. We love our setter.
