Llewellin Setter Information
The Llewellin descends directly from the longest existing breed of setters in the world. The Laverack base of the breed goes back to the 1500's. Mr. Richard Purcell Llewellin based his strain upon Laverack's and concentrated on developing the working setter by breeding a number of strains with his own.
By the early 1900's in the United States there were no lines of English Setters that did not have the Llewellin bred into them. The Llewellin blood proved to be so superior in competition that there were no strains of native or English Setters left pure. The Llewellin was recognized as a breed of its own and all other strains were recognized as English Setters.
Today Llewellin's are close working, intelligent gun dogs with a calm and gentle nature. They are excellent hunters and companions.
