The English Setter, also known as Lawerack, Laverack, Llewellin, remains one of the most popular family dogs and for good reason. These lovely, elegant, and stylish dogs are characterised by their friendly, gentle, and calm nature and are the ideal choice for first-time owners and people with young families. The English Setter is also known to attract a lot of attention thanks to its good looks, but it is its friendly, sweet and intelligent nature that makes it stand out from the crowd. In short, English Setters are easy to train and become valued members of a household.
