About AVALEA

            We have been involved with Clumber Spaniels since 1990. Prior to that beginning we were involved with Obedience Trials, Tracking Tests, Hunt Tests and Conformation Showing 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, when you could a Clumber competing in a show. Back then Clumber Spaniels were very, very scarce.

            So, our research began in finding a Clumber that would begin 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. Those Clumbers were:

            Am/Bah CH. Clussexx Doublebubble, TD ....know as Chiclet.

Pedigree

           Am/Bah CH. Drumhill Thor of Sandiam, TD ....know as Thor.

Pedigree

            Chiclet finished her American Championship quickly at around 1 year of age and received the Drumhill Ladies Cup for the year 1992...most breed points by way of Best of Breed/Best of Opposite Sex for bitches. We started Thor with tracking at between 4-5 months of age. He certified for tracking on the 1^st try and passed his tracking test at 6 months of age, being the youngest Clumber to ever obtain a tracking title in the history of the breed, at that time...we were so very proud! Then off we went to the Bahamas with them were they both obtained their Bahamian Championship and both placed in the groups on different days. We started showing Thor again in conformation and he quickly tallied up the single points he needed to finish his American Championship.

            All of our pedigrees include Chiclet and/or Thor in them as they were our foundation.
We have bred and titled over 20 Champions, 3 Best in Show winners, numerous Group winners and Westminster AOM winners.
Most importantly all of our puppies are in loving companionship homes.
