As a domain expert in animal species and breeds, I can provide you with an accurate description of Clifford, the famous fictional dog character from the children's books written by Norman Bridwell.

Clifford is depicted as a giant red dog, but the specific breed he represents has been a subject of speculation. In the books, Clifford's breed is never explicitly mentioned. However, due to his size, color, and some physical characteristics, many readers and fans have often associated him with breeds such as the Irish Setter or the Redbone Coonhound, which are known for their red coats. It's important to note that Clifford's size is exaggerated for the stories, and no real dog breed naturally grows to the proportions that he does.
