Clumber Spaniel Breed Description

Introduction

These dogs are good trackers and loving companions. Working Clumbers perform as a team, methodically and at a leisurely pace herding game towards hunters. Today, these dogs also lead leisurely lives in urban gardens, methodically tracking & retrieving insects and fallen leaves. Although they are a calm and gentle breed, bored individuals can be quite destructive. These sweet, quite intelligent dogs are great with family and love children. Their coat needs regular grooming and eyes and ears need to be checked regularly. These dogs weigh 55 to 85 lbs. and stand 16-20" at the shoulders.

Colors

The color of the Clumber Spaniel is pure white with lemon or orange markings, which improves the Clumber's location out in the field when working, as white against the brush and bramble colors improve the dog's visibility to hunters.

Living Area

The Clumber Spaniel make excellent house pets as they are easy going and sedate, very affectionate, and can exist on moderate amounts of exercise, even though it has been known to be high-energy, depending on the owner. They love the outdoors and participate in obedience and tracking, and hunting out in the fields. As they grow very rapidly, the Clumbers are usually very active as young pups into young adulthood. Apartments are acceptable for this breed as long as they are exercised with swimming, walking, playing fetch, catching balls, and hunting. As they get older, not as much energy is projected so less exercise is needed, allowing for smaller homes or apartments. These dogs do best living with older individuals or those who do not have a high-activity lifestyle.
