CLUSSEXX was started in 1984 when Doug Johnson purchased Ch. Sandiam's Scorpion and then Am/Can. Ch. Tanelorn's Bubble and Squeak. Bubbles became the foundation bitch of the Clussexx line. She gave to the breed some truly outstanding puppies. She gave to her puppies wonderful style and attitude, with outstanding temperaments to match their physical beauty.

The First Generation

Bubbles offspring, Ch. Clussexx Country Sunrise (Brady) and Ch. Clussexx Bubblelicious (Licious), Sired by BISS BIS Ch. Smokerise Country Gentleman (Wilbur) have become the top winning dogs in the breed's history.
