ABOUT US | |||||||
We began our life with Clumber Spaniels in 2002 in Palm City, Florida, with the adoption of an adult female by the name of Critter’s Happy at Quail Hollow (Happy). We had been waiting for a puppy, but fell in love with Happy during our introduction to the breed and even before she was offered to us. When she became available for adoption, we jumped at the chance to make her our own. Our lives were forever changed with Happy and we soon discovered that the Clumber Spaniel is a fine Sporting Dog graced with beauty, dignity, loyalty and the strength and determination to perform any task at hand. We knew that we could not stop at just one (1) Clumber. A year after adopting Happy, we were blessed by our
breeder at Quail Hollow with a beautiful female Clumber puppy, 12 weeks
old, by the name of Quail Hollow’s Auntie Em (Emma). We were not a “Show
Family”, just a family who loved Clumber Spaniels and wanted the
opportunity to raise a Clumber puppy to adulthood. In fact, we had never
even attended a Dog Show prior to being graced with our Emma. Because
Emma was “Show Quality”, and at the urging of our breeder, we agreed to
enter her in the Conformation Ring in an upcoming Show. Much to our
surprise, Emma won the very first Show she was entered in......and we
were hooked. She reached her Championship very quickly and we found that
we loved showing and all the events that Clumbers participate in. To
that end, we knew that breeding Emma was in store for our future so that
we could pass on her wonderful qualities and enable us to have other
Clumber Spaniels to love and to show and/or participate in other
sporting arenas. We also had every hope that we could honor other loving
families with the opportunity to share in this wonderful breed. Our first litter of four (4), CH. Quail Hollow’s
Auntie Em X CH. Bluemoon n Kingswood Canoli, was born on October 9,
2005, and included two (2) boys and two (2) girls. They are Pinecliff
Baron Brasstown Bald (Baron), Pinecliff Lord Young Harris (Harry),
Pinecliff Dame Nottley Demi (Demi), all of whom are loved by us and
remain here at Pinecliff. Our fourth puppy (the second girl), Quail
Hollow’s Lady Noli Chatsworth (Noli, renamed Jelly), is proudly and
lovingly owned by our breeder at Quail Hollow in Florida. Of this
litter, we are pleased and proud to announce that Baron and Noli both
became Champions in the Conformation Ring long before their second
birthdays.
With five (5) Clumber Spaniels in our family, we
decided that we wanted to relocate out of Florida so that we could find
acreage and a large home that would enable our Clumbers to be happy,
healthy and able to enjoy life to the fullest. We were fortunate to find
acreage in the Northern Georgia mountains with woods, hills, valleys and
two (2) swimming ponds for the dogs. We have relocated to this wonderful
place that is now Pinecliff and we consider it “Clumber Heaven”. Our
Clumbers agree. Our second litter, CH. Quail Hollow’s Auntie Em X CH.
Avalea Magical Minstrel, born on November 12, 2007, is on the ground and we
are expecting great things from the six (6) boys and three (3) girls. Watch
for them in May, 2008, as they will be starting in the Conformation Ring at
that time. We are proud to have begun our Show/Hobby breeding program
with our Emma. In breeding we strive for pairing only beautiful, healthy
Clumber Spaniels with exceptional temperaments and we research our pedigrees
thoroughly. We are dedicated to the Clumber Spaniel breed and aspire to
breed only Clumbers with good health and excellent temperaments. We fully
health screen all of our puppies including CERF for eyes, PDP1 status and
have DNA on file. We also fully vaccinate and micro chip all puppies before
placement in their forever homes. All of our puppies will be placed with contracts. Our
puppies which will not be shown in the Conformation Ring, those which will
be strictly placed as companionship dogs only, will be done so with American
Kennel Club (AKC) limited registration and spay/neuter contracts. Our
puppies which will be shown in the Conformation Ring will be placed into
carefully selected private homes or with other known show hobby enthusiasts,
and only upon our approval. All of our puppies will be American Kennel Club (AKC)
registered and will not be registered with any alternative registries
associated with or used by Commercial breeders. We are proud members of the
Clumber Spaniel Club of America (CSCA) and agree with and live by their code
of ethics. Please feel free to contact us with any questions
concerning Clumber Spaniels or if you would like to fill out a
Questionnaire
which would be the first introduction to the purchase of any of our Clumber
Spaniel puppies or adult dogs. ~ Steve & Gail |
