Tam, Julchris Super Trooper, 8 y/o Clumber dog. A few months earlier I had been taking a fair bit of flack about about my "fat" spaniel. When he had his summer shearing I had this taken to show the lie that that was. I get asked to bring Tam to Game Fairs to walk in gundog parades and I wish I had a fiver for every time somebody has asked me if he is " One of those Cumberland Spaniels?" Next I get a list of the things Clumbers can't/won't do and of course when I ask how many the detractor has seen Tam is usually the first. As a breed I have heard more crap talked about them than just about any other. I'm not talking giant redwoods but Tam's party piece is to wriggle underneath and bodily lift fallen trees to release tucked in pheasants. He will hunt all day and retrieve from the fastest flowing river BUT he won't enter water, even a mill pond, with a bird already in his mouth.
