I would give Jim and Heide Thomas more than 5 stars if I could. Christmas Eve '08 our beloved English Setter died. She was not sick and not even 8 yrs old. We were devastated. My husband wanted a new dog NOW... so I spent the holidays on the internet looking for a dog to help ease the pain of losing our Harleigh. I emailed everyone I could find and Jim emailed me and told me he would not have a litter until spring but he would try to help me find a good dog. He coached me on to what to look for, answered my endless questions. He took so much time with me and never once did he ask me to wait for his litter. I did talk my husband into waiting for one of Jim's pups. It was worth the wait. It was important to us that the pup was socialized from the beginning since we have 4 young grand children. Jim and Heide did a wonderful job with their pups. They kept us up to date on the breeding process, the birth, lots of pictures from when they were 12hrs old until we got them. And the pups...oh...I did not mention , we got 2..a boy, Shylo and a girl, Haylee on June 22, 2009....Smart,sweet good natured, very easy to train, gentle with the grand children...they are perfect..beautiful... and now my daughter wants one of his pups and her husband and mine are going to start bird hunting again!!!! Jim knows everything about these dogs...what impressed me the most about Jim is his LOVE FOR THE BREED !!!! He loves these dogs...You will not go wrong with one of Jim and Heide's dogs...The Thomas' are the BEST and so are their DOGS!!!!!!!

It was Aug. of 08 when I came upon Jims Web site. I started to inquire about a pup and just missed his last litter I got my pup in June of 09. At 4 months old he is by far the best setter I have owned. So much of it is due to Jim and his breeding practice and the Llewellin blood line.
Wilson loves people stays close when we take walks and is a easy learner. I should be putting him on birds in the next few months. He's been a joy to have.

I had spent 6 months researching pedigrees of llewellins, and breeders. One phone call with Jim and my search for my dog was over. I hadn't even verbally confirmed a pup purchase from him when I inquired about training practices and literally within hours he had sent me an email full of extremely helpful advice. At this point I sent him a deposit and waited nearly 6 months for my pup. The pup is perfect, we absolutely couldn't be happier. In all honesty, I wish we would have bought 2, because my wife wont give mine up for me work with. Thank you Jim for the wonderful experience. Chad West Branch, Mi

As a child I always dreamed of the perfect dog and was never allowed to have one, and now at the age of 29, “Chief” has made these dreams come true. Jim is a wonderful and caring fella both for his dogs and the families the dogs are going too!!!! If my “boss” (wife) would allow me to get another pup it would only be from Jim. The natural ability of Chief is amazing and his nose for birds and even a downed deer during bow season is fantastic. He and our Brittany “Jolene” are inseparable and even our cat Milo has learned to love Chief’s licks. All in all you can’t go wrong with a pup from Jim. Jim, Thank you for the chance to live my dream….Jeff in Maryland.

We purchase our pup in June. Jim and his wife drove our new furball to our house, hand delivered with a comprehensive care/health packet. "Radar" has adapted perfectly to our house with another dog, 2 cats and 3 kids. At 7 months he has proven himself in the field and he is truely a perfect pick! Jim and I correspond frequently and share pictures. He always has fantastic advise and honestly cares about the pups he has placed. We have purchased dogs throughout our lives and never have encountered such a dedicated, caring owner. Do not hesitate to pick your next hunting/home companion from Jim!
