<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What a perfect description Esther! My husband and I
have wondered what it is about Clumbers that captivates us. Over the years of
our marriage, we've always been glued to Westminster on TV every February. Of
course, we always watch for the bassets...but our second breed of choice to
watch has been the clumber. When Brady the clumber won BIS in 1996, we were
jumping up and down in the livingroom! Worse yet...when we had the pleasure of
actually attending the 2008 show, we made a beeline to the clumbers in the
benching area and I burst into tears when I saw them "in person" for the first
time! The nice breeder took pity on me, as it was obvious to her that I was
insane, and said, "Do you want to pet one?". I couldn't get enough of them. They
are a wonderful breed and it's interesting that they seem to appeal to "basset
people".</FONT></DIV>
