Welcome to the Mir-Raj
acres Llewellin Setters home page;
After a long search for a compatible
and easy to work with hunting dog we discovered Llewellin
Setters, and developed a love for the breed. This love lead us
to the decision of dedicating ourselves to breeding and starting
their training to be the hunting companions they were Intended
to be. So please go through our site,
check out our dogs, upcoming litters or available Llewellin puppies and
give us a call (or E-Mail) and lets talk Llewellin's
Llewellin Setters
History:
Origination of the Llewellin Setters breed started in
England by Edward Laverick in the 1800's and then was carried on
by R. Purcell Llewellin (for whom the breed was named). Mr.
Llewellin started shipping them to the United States in the
1870's.These dogs turned out to be a perfect match for the 160
acre farms of the day used for hunting and field trialing. The
proof of this lies in the fact that in the late 1800's to
the early 1900's the Llewellin dominated the field trials of
that period. They dominated so much that in 1901 the American
Field placed the Llewellin Setter in it's stud book, the first
strain within a breed to be recognized by a dog registry.
