Llewellin Setters for Upland Hunting
Our Llewellin Setters excel in hunting and companionship. Our recent litter was born on 6/10/25 in Chelsea, Michigan.
Our Mission
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.
