📢Alright! We have seen some really great answers!📢
🐶The breed of the sweet little puppy from the other day is a:
❗️Llewellin Setter❗️
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! 📖
🧐 So what’s the difference?🤔
💙 Llewellin Setter:
• Bred specifically for field performance and hunting instincts
• Generally lighter, more athletic, and quicker in the field
• Known for their intense focus, endurance, and natural bird-dog abilities
• Often have a slightly more refined, “classic hunting dog” look
💙 English Setter:
• The broader breed the Llewellin originates from
• Typically a bit larger with a fuller coat
• Known for a calm, friendly temperament and versatility as both companion and show dog
• Breeding lines may vary—some 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.🐕
🐾 But both breeds?
Absolutely stunning. Sweet-natured. Loyal. And fabulous dogs!
