A Clumber Spaniel named Soloist has been crowned the winner of the Gundogs after being assessed by judges in the Main Arena at Birmingham National Exhibition Centre.
Gundog breeds mostly come from the UK and Europe, although there are a few American additions, and, as the name suggests, were bred to help those hunting game with guns.
