Meet the breeder
I'm Kyle W., the breeder behind Paint River Llewellins located in Ironwood, MI. I breed carefully selected Llewellin Setters for both the ideal field and family dog. They are easy, soft, intelligent, and driven. I have been professionally training dogs since 1996. I enjoy building relationship fundamentals and strengthening utility such as upland bird hunting, waterfowl hunting, search and rescue, protection work, and more! Please visit the following link to be directed to our website "About" page to become more familiar with how we operate our program. https://paintriverllewellins.com/about-us/.
Q. & A. with Kyle
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in a dog breeding family that bred GSPs, GSDs, Labs, and Rottweilers among my three aunts that had multiple litters per year. I always found the joy in new life and seeing new puppy owners embrace their new family members.What makes your program special?
We select and breed for a very specific type of Setter. Our dogs are family members and we hunt wild birds 450 to 500 hours every season. We breed from less than 20% of Setters that we assess. We sell the dogs that don’t make the breeding program cut to loving hunting family homes that are well matched. Visit our website to learn more!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Good level
Paint River Llewellins reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Llewellin Setters.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
