Introduction
The Llewellin's history began in the last quarter of the 19th Century. An English gentleman, Purcell Llewellin, produced his own strain of English Setters and kept the lines free from any outcrosses. In 1875, he crossed his line-bred dogs to the Lavarack Setter, owned by Edward Lavarack. This unique cross produced the 100% Llewellin Setter. All canines claiming that name must be traced back to that original cross. The generic use of the term "Llewellin" for all field-type English Setters does not mean that the dog is a registered Llewellin Setter. These dogs stand 24" at the shoulders. Males weigh 45 to 60 lbs. while females weight from 35 to 50 lbs.
