At Great Lakes Llewellins in Michigan, we are committed to breeding high-quality Llewellin Setters, exceptional hunting dogs that excel both in the field and as cherished companions. As a small-scale breeder, we prioritize creating outstanding pairings between our dams and sires. Our Llewellin Setters thrive in upland bird hunting, effortlessly navigating the fence rows of the Lower Peninsula and the expansive prairies west of the Mississippi. These remarkable hunting dogs are just as content in the field as they are snuggled 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. Every one of our litters is registered with the United Kennel Club's FDSB.

One word to describe Trixie: "WOW".
Trixie is an amazing teammate in the field. With a sniper of a nose, she ranges based on her cover--tighter in the grouse woods, and she opens it up a bit in the CRP fields. Her confidence and "anytime-anywhere" approach to hunting is an attribute of her being an Alpha female. Her hunting IQ is matched by her manners in the house where she is equally has comfortable curled in your lap watching TV.
Fun Fact for Trixie: Her pedigree includes Henry Prince of Pause, from the TV show, Hunting with Hank.
No obsessive commanding. No constant corrections. Efficient hunting--this is what we breed for.
What I love about this clip, it highlights Trixie's responsiveness. It's really a benign search pattern, but she wants to head through the barbed wire--both dangerous and a property we don't have permission to hunt. I stop her with a simple command. No yelling. No excitement. Just "Leave it". She snaps back immediately.
It's tough being the cameraman and hunter. A solid, classy point held on a wild bird for an eternity, but I couldn't film the shot by myself.
