Breed Watch Information for Spaniel (Clumber)

Points of concern for special attention by judges

 • Overweight

• Excessive amounts of loose facial skin with conformational defects of the upper and/or lower eyelids so that the eyelid margins are not in normal contact with the eye when the dog is in its natural pose (e.g. they turn in or out, or both abnormalities are present)

• Weak hind movement

 • Obvious ear irritation

    PDP1

Below is a list of Kennel Club registered dogs of the breed specified above, together with their sire and dam, that were  DNA tested for the recessively inherited disease specified above. The result of the test can be either CLEAR (no copies of the mutant gene), CARRIER (one copy of the mutant gene) or AFFECTED (two copies of the mutant gene). Note that the progeny of a clear sire and clear dam will also be clear (hereditarily clear), and the progeny of two hereditarily clear, or one hereditarily clear and one tested clear dog will also be hereditarily clear. Further information on this scheme can be obtained from The Kennel Club or The Animal Health Trust
