Starmaking Phesi ("Bear")

Description

Starmaking Phesi, known as Bear, is a white and lemon working Clumber Spaniel standing at stud in Wiltshire with his owner, a veterinary surgeon. He carries the Venaticus working line on his sire’s side — his sire, Venaticus Ivan, is out of Venaticus Henrietta, the breed’s most highly awarded bitch since 1900 — and is described on the Working Clumber Spaniel Society stud register as a jovial, enthusiastic and capable dog who leaves no blade of grass unscented, with an incredible nose and a gentle nature. He is proven at stud, with one Kennel Club registered litter of seven born in April 2025.

Built from the pedigree information supplied by the breeder. GenoVaq does not add, infer or complete any part of a pedigree — where a generation is not shown here, it is because it has not been supplied.

Performance

Worked in the field. Described by his owner on the Working Clumber Spaniel Society stud register as great in the field, with an incredible nose, and a pleasure to have as a companion on any occasion. Very affectionate with the whole household, including the other dogs, the cat and the sheep, and has helped rear Labrador puppies in the family — a role, his owner notes, he took remarkably seriously. No show or field trial record is claimed on the register, and none is claimed here.

Proven progeny

One Kennel Club registered litter to date: seven puppies born 12 April 2025 to Highsnoad Muaythai, registered under the Enticer affix (four dogs, three bitches). The litter is recorded on his Royal Kennel Club profile, linked from this listing.

Health testing

Hips (BVA/KC): 5 / 3 — total 8. Tested 26 June 2024, aged 2 years 11 months. Elbows (BVA/KC): 0 / 0. Tested 3 July 2024. Eyes (BVA/KC/ISDS scheme): unaffected. Examined 6 March 2025. EIC (exercise-induced collapse): hereditary clear. PDP1 (pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase 1 deficiency): hereditary clear. DM (degenerative myelopathy): clear. PRA (PRA-cord1 / PRA-crd4): clear. Pyruvate kinase deficiency (Labrador variant): clear. Hip Estimated Breeding Value (Royal Kennel Club): −6, low risk, at 74% confidence — meaning his family data as well as his own score place him below the breed’s average genetic risk for hip dysplasia. The hip, elbow and eye results and the EIC and PDP1 status are recorded on the dog’s Royal Kennel Club profile. The DM, EIC, PRA and pyruvate kinase results come from a Pet Genetics Lab certificate (report dated 9 August 2024) published by the Working Clumber Spaniel Society alongside his stud entry. Both are linked below so a buyer can check the record rather than take our word for it. For context: laboratory estimates put the PDP1 carrier rate in Clumbers at roughly one in five. Bear is hereditary clear of both PDP1 and EIC.
