The cryptic clue, 16 across, is: Dog moves awkwardly where there's new pelican crossing (7,7)

_E_M_ E_ S_A_I_L The second word looks like "spaniel" some letters from pelican but I can't work out the other bit.

I have never heard of a clumber spaniel but that's the beauty of crosswords - you learn something new every day!
Thank you so much.
