Our Mission
At Great Lakes Llewellins in Michigan, we are dedicated to breeding high-quality Llewellin Setters; exceptional hunting dogs that excel as both hunters and beloved companions. As a small-scale breeder, we focus on creating outstanding pairings between our dams and sires. Our Llewellin Setters thrive in upland bird hunting, navigating effortlessly across the fence rows of the Lower Peninsula to the expansive prairies west of the Mississippi. These remarkable hunting dogs are just as happy in the field as they are cuddled up next to you at home. Our Field Dog Stud Book-registered and DNA-proven lineage Dams and Sires are not only driven hunters but also extraordinary members of upland families. All our litters are registered with the United Kennel Club's FDSB.

We lover her for her "off switch" where she is a perfect companion in the house cuddled in our lap.
