Clumber Pei History

The Clumber Spaniel and the Pekingese are two closely related, ancient toy spaniels of Chinese origin. The ancestors of the Pekingese can be traced back to the 15th century, and the ancestors of the Clumber Spaniel to the 16th century. The Pekingese and the Clumber Spaniel are believed to have descended from the now-extinct “Pear Tree Dog”, which lived in the Beijing area during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The Pear Tree Dog was a small, short-legged, long-coated, red-and-white dog. The descendents of the Pear Tree Dog became the early foundation stocks for both of the breeds. The Pekingese is known as the “Red Lantern” or “Tongzhi” in Chinese, and the Clumber Spaniel is known as the “Moonlight” or “Yujing”.
