๐ขAlright! We have seen some really great answers!๐ข
๐ถThe breed of the sweet little puppy from the other day is a:
โ๏ธLlewellin Setterโ๏ธ
They are a beautiful and talented breed that often gets mixed up with the English Setter. While they are closely related, the Llewellin Setter has its own unique story and style! ๐
๐ง So whatโs the difference?๐ค
๐ Llewellin Setter:
โข Bred specifically for field performance and hunting instincts
โข Generally lighter, more athletic, and quicker in the field
โข Known for their intense focus, endurance, and natural bird-dog abilities
โข Often have a slightly more refined, โclassic hunting dogโ look
๐ English Setter:
โข The broader breed the Llewellin originates from
โข Typically a bit larger with a fuller coat
โข Known for a calm, friendly temperament and versatility as both companion and show dog
โข Breeding lines may varyโsome are show-oriented, some field-oriented
In short: All Llewellins are English Setters, but not all English Setters are Llewellins! The Llewellin line was developed with a special emphasis on field excellence, speed, and hunting style.๐
๐พ But both breeds?
Absolutely stunning. Sweet-natured. Loyal. And fabulous dogs!
