Preservation Breeding Seminar By Douglas Johnson
by Carol Margolis, DVM, Dipl ACT
Presented by Suffolk County Kennel and Big Apple Working Group Club
You are invited to join us Friday, Sept 30th 6:00 PM, for a light supper and seminar,
A founder of the Canine Conservation movement, Mr. Johnson, strives to be a voice for all breeders who work tirelessly to produce and promote their breed of choice. Advocating for dogs is a passion, but also a responsibility to ensure the successful longevity of unique breeds. Together we must continue to foster the best breeding practices to keep breeds from extinction.
The gift of a Clumber Spaniel for his birthday from his parents started Douglas Johnson down the path of lifetime dedication to the sport of purebred dogs.
Breeding under the world-famous Clussexx prefix, he has produced more than 200 Champion Clumber Spaniels, Sussex Spaniels, Welsh Springer Spaniels, and English Toy Spaniels. Clussexx dogs have won more than 150 Best in Show awards and 15 national specialties wins across four breeds.
Mr. Johnson holds the distinct honor of producing two Westminster Best in Show winners, and he is the only breeder of Westminster Best In Show winners in two different breeds. The winners are Clumber Spaniel Ch. Clussexx Country Sunrise “Brady” in 1996 and Sussex Spaniel Ch. Clussexx Three D Grinchy Glee “Stump.” Stump in 2006. Stump, a veteran at 10 years, is the oldest dog to ever win Best in Show at Westminster.
Mr. Johnson was awarded American Kennel Club's Sporting Breeder of the Year award in 2005, Judge of the Year Nominee for 2017, and a Winkie Award Winner for Breeder of the Year in 2019. He is a member of the Santa Barbara Kennel Club, Hoosier Kennel Club, The Bloomington Indiana Kennel Club, and a lifetime member of the Clumber Spaniel Club of America.
A must-attend evening seminar for any novice or serious breeder!
