Here are two of my most favorite breeds … the Clumber Spaniel on the left and the Sussex Spaniel on the right.  The Clumber is believed to have originated in France from a cross between a Basset Hound and an Alpine Spaniel.  They are good hunters as their distintive slow rolling gait allows them to come up very close to the game.  The Sussex originated in the county of Sussex, England in the 1800’s.  They have a very good nose for hunting and a golden liver color that is unique to the breed.  [This image is from The National Dog Show Presented by Purina 2011].
