Llewellins are a sub-breed of the English and not recognized by the poofters at the AKC as a breed. They are acknowledged by versatile dog organizations, however. Lord Llewellin at the turn of the 20th Century was not enamored with the Englishes and decided to do something about it. The English were snooty, just like the English, and they were relatively lazy and a bit fragile...but had good noses ( usually well elevated...LOL). Lewellin set about breeding out the long lanky contours in favor of stouter dogs. He also bred into his strain of then English a burning enthusiasm for bird hunting and a deep affinity to humans.

Ask any Llewellin owner about their dog's loyalty and desire to please. Now, Llewellins will never be a crazy going English pointer or German shorthair, but they'll work hard all day until they drop and will seem apologetic that they collapsed. There are better pointers, better retrievers, better water dogs, and faster working dogs, but there are none finer than a Llewellin for sheer joy of watching a completely dedicated companion in the field.

These were out of my Ms. Scarlet, a somewhat famous Llewellin. They're whiter than Scarlet, due to the original sire's coloration. They are of the orange belton coloration. My young dog, Woody, is a tri-color blue belton with a little brown scattered, as evidenced by that brown spot around his...uhhh...errr..."brown spot".

Ms Scarlet, younger, adult, and a week before she left us.




Woody, still young:

Just my warped brain function here: You have Llewellin's and one already named Woody, Woody could be re-named Carson wells and some other names might be Anton Chigurh, Carla Jean, and Llewellin 'Moss'. A bit cryptic but thats me

Woody looks so like a Munsterlander I once had the pleasure of working with....thanks for posting...

Your Ms Scarlet was a lovely looking dog. Looks about a similar size and coat weight to the Welsh Springier I had late 80's & 90's.

Your description of the Llewellins sounds just like a hunting kennel Gordon. Stamina not the speed of an Irish.
The setter breeders here still breeding to a straight Horizontal tail in the Setters but I gather some US influence is coming and however most new Blood lines seem to come from Australia, Northern Europe and the UK.
Being a small country it's hard for the breeders to keep a good genitic diversity going.
Your Woody looks to have a very similar face to my Gordon, Nice looking dog, very strong different coloring.

And a couple more dog pics (yes I know he needs to lose some weight). Taken down in our garden. We do have Pheasants and Quail at times.

Here he is with Owen after they got a very hard earned central NV Dusky Grouse ( one of the two varieties of Blue Grouse and a prize)
