I hope you enjoy this site, where you can meet
the dogs.
We bought our first Clumber in 1984,
Abby was a pet first and foremost as are all the dogs today. She taught us
though that Clumbers love to work and that health issues are of major
importance within the breed. She died suddenly from heart failure at the age
of 7 1/2. She was never bred from but her successor - Scherzando Ripple of
Abbyford was the start of my line which carries the name of our first much
loved Abby.
I only use stud dogs that have been
hip scored and have been fortunate in having recently bred some low scoring
Clumbers. I aspire to breed healthy, happy Clumbers that are capable of
working in the field for the day.
All my dogs and puppies are fed on BARF
(Bones and Raw Food) and have been 1999. I feel that in
doing so I have managed to let the puppies grow slowly and steadily and I
think this probably contributes to the success in breeding lower hip scores.
I only breed occasional litters -
primarily when I want something for myself. All my puppies have started
their vaccinations, are microchipped and KC registered before leaving home. .
16 11 08 - Today I had a phone call from Kristina to say she was
delighted to report that Patch ( Abbyford Lady
Sudeley) had won this years
Clumbermästerskapet .
Well done to both of them.
27 9 08 - Patch today ran in her first
Field trial - here are some photos and the critique of the day. She won a 2nd
prize in the novice class.
23 9 08 - Sedgehurst Withycombe tests CLEAR for PDP1 -
therefore ALL the puppies from his litter with
Sola are PDP1 Clear
(Parents clear).
15 8 08 - Fantastic news Aus CH Erinveine Zou sired by
Tor has a hip score of 0 : 0 = 0 and elbows
also clear. A wonderful acheivement for Zou's owners Westobri
Kennels and Breeder Jan Irving !!!!!
Clumbers Naturally- now a relatively quiet
list where the issues of barf feeding and natural remedies for
Clumbers are discussed. Plenty in the archives to read.
