Avalea has been involved with Clumber Spaniels since 1990.  Prior to that beginning we were involved with Obedience Trials, Tracking Tests, Hunt Tests, and Conformation with Labrador Retrievers for about 7 years.

We enjoyed our 3 Labradors enormously, but wanted to become involved in a second breed of dog that was not as popular as the Labrador.  I always found the Clumber Spaniel an interesting breed and loved to watch them in the show ring, although back then Clumbers were very, very scarce.

So our research began in finding the perfect Clumbers to start our journey with us into this incredible breed of dog!  We were so blessed to find two wonderful breeders that each entrusted us with a beautiful puppy.  Both puppies were exceptional Clumbers in personality, correct conformation, and breed type.

Chiclet finished her American Championship quickly at approximately 1 year of age & received the Drumhill Ladies Cup for the year 1992 by winning the most breed points by way of Best of Breed/Best of Opposite Sex for bitches.

We started Thor with tracking between 4-5 months of age. He certified for tracking on the 1st try and passed his tracking test at 6 months of age, being the youngest Clumber Spaniel to ever obtain a tracking title in the history of the breed at that time.  We were so very, very proud!

Then off we went to the Bahamas with them where they both obtained their Bahamian Championship. Both Clumbers placed in the Bahamian groups on different days. 

We started showing Thor again in conformation and he quickly tallied up the single points he needed to become an AKC Champion.

All of our pedigrees include Thor and/or Chiclet as there were our foundation Clumbers.  We have bred and titled over 20 AKC Champions, 3 Best in Show winners, numerous Group winners, and Westminster AOM winners.

Most importantly all of our Clumber Spaniels are in loving homes.
