Small: Yes, well mine is.

Real birdy: Yes, very much so.

Don't bark: Hell, no! Her enemy are cats. She'll go off, real crazy when she see's one. It's the chase in her. She once chased a cat under a car, the cat turned on her, and she tucked her tail and cried like the world was ending. The cat decided it was time to leave and sure enough, dog turned and gave chase, barking all the way.

Good with kids: She loves them (not tastes like chicken sort of way.)

Actually, there are a few breeders that are breeding for field trials. Big runners. But the majority of them are fairly close working. I've seen two young Llewellins in the field and they worked fairly the same distance as mine. They also have a tendancy to pace themselves morethan an english setter. My first e.s. ran her energy off in few hours then settled in to her range. My Llew will burn energy off much quicker but still be much more lively for the rest of the day.
