Re: A working Clumber Spaniel
Is there any reason the show dogs are being bred like that or just fashion to have spaniels with drooping lower eyelids?

Dunno really, can't see any reason to breed a dog that can't do it's job

Got to say though, the show people did keep the breed going when they went out of fashion as working dogs.
It's only fairly recent that there has been more interest again to work them

I can see that from the eyes
