Who are we?
Introducing the founders of the ‘Working Spaniel’ platform.
Jemma Clifford
Founder
Jemma has had a lifetime of involvement in Working Spaniels. She is the current Chairman of The Spaniel Club the “Parent’ Spaniel Club of the UK, organising up to four Field Trials every year.
At home Jemma runs her dogs in the beating and picking up lines on a regular basis, alongside her partner gamekeeper.
Professionally she is the Owner Director of Brindley Rural, a Marketing and Communications business .
A skilled speaker, interviewer and communicator, Jemma brings a wealth of experience in membership organisations, partnerships and sponsorships but also in the field of conservation management having worked closely with The Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust for over 7 years and counting.
Liam Mulcrow
Founder
Liam is the driving force behind several of the UK’s most active spaniel-focused Facebook groups, including Spaniel Trialling Results and Stats and Spaniel Trials and Updates, which he has successfully managed for over a decade.
Passionate about the spaniel trialling community, Liam has played a major role in raising over £60,000 for charity through gundog-related initiatives. Alongside a dedicated team of volunteers, he has built a trusted service for the sport—fueled purely by enthusiasm and a deep love for working spaniels.
A committed statistician and guardian of trial data, Liam’s attention to detail and long-standing dedication have become a cornerstone of this new platform. He’s excited to see where this next chapter leads.
Core Aims and Principles
Conservation First
Whilst ‘Field Sport’ and all other associated names and variations of the phrase are fiercely protected by all of us Approaching what we do from a ‘Conservation’ standpoint will help to protect us into the future. We all need to be willing to educate ourselves and talk about working with dogs differently. We have nothing to hide – there is not a more sustainable way of putting food on the table than someone working their dog
True Community
We all carry responsibility and as a group we can create a shared voice. To do that we have to respect and guide one another for the future of the Working Spaniel. We will extend a warm welcome to those new to Working Spaniels without judgement.
Natural Ability
We are passionate about the continued promotion of working spaniels in the field, harnessing natural ability. We aim to provide detailed, accurate data on successful working dogs for the purposes of mate or puppy selection.
First in Line
Combining our experience and existing outreach to become the primary resource, news, and database for working spaniels in the UK, promoting activities relevant to their breed, and celebrating their achievements.
