| GROOMING PART ONE BRUSHING Jan Irving | |
| This is a series of articles compiled from my own thoughts and a number of interviews I conducted with breeders, exhibitors, and owners of Clumbers from around the world. The article series is four parts, and has the following format: | |
| I LOVE TO PAINT WITH WATERCOLOUR Judy Darling | |
| I began by taking out watercolour books from the library and trying my hand at it, with terrible results. I decided that I would check out the beginner�s watercolour seminar (the only thing I could find at that time) at our local college. I signed up and crossed my fingers, holy cow there were 10 of us for a 2 day 10 hour course. The equipment list was good, we needed 5 tubes of paint and one sheet of paper and 3 or 4 brushes. I already had a few brushes (just lucky) the local hobby store had everything else required. | |

| INHERITED SENSORINEURAL DEAFNESS IN DOGS: A NEED FOR CONCERN IN CLUMBER SPANIELS? Aubrey A. Webb, DVM, PhD | |
| Before discussing what inherited sensorineural deafness is we must first define the term deafness. Deafness is a term that is used to describe a loss of hearing. Deafness can be either a partial or complete absence of hearing that may affect one or both ears and it may be present since birth (congenital) or be acquired later in life. | |

| WELCOME TO CAMILO DELGADO AND FAMILY | |
| �Later in 2005 we decided to establish a pure breed that was not so well known in Colombia and began to research until we found Clumber Spaniel. The first dog of this breed we met in person was Vishnu Quixote Del Cypres property of Adriana & Patricia Jaramillo (Vishnu Del Cypres Kennel) who had introduce this breed to Colombia in 1996. | |

| BOOK REVIEW : DOG CONFORMATION AND ITS EVALUATION BY EUGENE YERUSALIMSKY | |
| There is lots of great information filtered through the book, but it may not be picked up by a newcomer because of the concentration the author has on his new theories and interpretations. I don�t doubt, as he says, there is too much emphasis on horse conformation in the terms we use in dogs, but that �speak� has now been in use for over 100 years, why develop a new language and culture if it is only about words. Of course, again, a lot is lost between the original Russian which the book and concepts were conceived in, and the translation into English – the same will happen when translating English to Russia. Yet, like a diligent author, the author says he has had the book extensively reviewed by English speakers, but the language still occasionally changes, the one thing that particularly sticks in my mind is �sabre� compared to �sickle� hock, but there are other examples too. | |
