| Llewellin Setter
Some
may argue that the Llewellin is just an English Setter, and they
would be right. They are, however, a pure strain of English Setter
and registered as a separate group with the Field Dog Stud Book
Registry. The bloodlines of a Llewellin-registered setter can be
traced back to the breeding program of R.L. Purcell Llewellin in the
nineteenth century. Essentially
the description of the English Setter would fit for the Llewellin.
Because of the dominance of the line in the early part of the last
century, it has earned a place of distinction in the field dog
world. It is permitted to breed a registered Llewellin to a
registered English, but the litter would be registered as English
Setters with no distinction towards the Llewellin.
