Bath Canine Society

Bath. Clumber Spaniel

Very good entry by modern standards, thank you. Eyes were a bit of a worry, some not as good as they could be and some ears could be cleaner. Soundness was good, and none were really heavy. Thought the 2 CC winners made a lovely pair and were full of Clumber type.
