Phoenix

This regal boy has a trot like a Tennessee Walker. He’s Velcro and he’d love another playful dog in the home and a person that is home some or most of the day.

Storytellers
Rio and Tracee
Mary and her husband Mark live in the Blue Ridge mountains in North Carolina. They have owned six Llewellyn Setters over the years, four of which are SWESR alumni. Rio and Tracee are their most recent SWESR dogs.
Solomon
Solomon’s story really begins with a Setter named Harry. Martie and her husband had adopted Harry from a North Carolina shelter during the Pandemic. They had recently lost their elder dog and felt their lives were simply not complete without a dog with whom to share it. Harry proved to be quite a handful and seemed to have enough energy for three dogs, so Martie decided that he needed a friend to romp with. Smitten with English Setters, Martie brought home an eight week old female puppy. She named her Ginsburg. Raising a puppy with energetic Harry kept Martie quite busy, but nevertheless, life was good.
Monty
When Randy and Kathy’s 15-year-old, 85-pound Irish Setter crossed the Rainbow Bridge in April 2020, they could tell their 54-pound red Setter rescue, Sorcha, was grieving her companion. The entire family wanted a second dog, and they decided to “downsize” to an English Setter.
