The Clumberjacks have been invited to compete at Crufts Obreedience Final 2024. We are very excited to b able to represent the Clumber spaniel at this competition. We have had a quiet season due to our own personal commitments making it hard to attend many qualifiers, so had not expected to qualify, but having just gained a place we are fully embracing the opportunity.

The team competing at Crufts will be:

Ellis O’Grady and Meadowskye Storm (Fergal)
Elizabeth Kwint and Parkforth It’ll be Reyt (Sköll)
Claire Knowles and Jackpotstud Running Late (Tardy)
Lesley Knowles and Jackpotstud Super Model (Twiggy).

Eirini Spyratou is a reserve.

We will miss Izzie Hirst and Taehya at Crufts, who are long standing team members but unfortunately can’t join us this time due to a previous diary commitment.

The Obreedience competition takes place on Thursday 7th March at Crufts. Please say hello if u see us there 👋👋

The Clumberjacks just missed out on qualification for the Obreedience finals at Crufts this year, as although in a qualifying position, we were the 4th placed team from the gundog group and only 3 teams from each group can go forwards to the final at Crufts. However 4 of our canine members and their handlers will be at Crufts, representing their breed in other activities and I hope you will join us in wishing them luck.

Izzie Hirst and Taehya will be showing in the breed ring on Thursday 🍀🍀
Lesley Knowles and Twiggy will be showing in the BASC ring for working gundogs on Thursday 🍀🍀
Ellis O’Graidy and Fergal are part of the Heelwork to Music display team throughout the show 👏👏
Claire Knowles and Tardy are part of the KC Good Citizen Silver display team on Thursday and Friday 👏👏

We are looking forwards to attending our first obreedience show on April 9th.

Another outing for the Clumberjacks today at Thame Premier Open Show. Some very high scores for our individual tasks, which is great progres. Now need to improve our heelwork, so we can challenge for the higher places. We didn’t have a spare person today so no pics/videos but do have a pic of 2 of our team members in the pub on the way home!
