Clumber Spaniel

Good to know

• A ducal history: the breed takes its name from Clumber Park, the English estate of the Duke of Newcastle, where it was developed to flush birds.
• Steady, quiet hunter: bred to work slowly and methodically through heavy cover, they are a mellow, easygoing spaniel today.
• Sheds and drools: the dense white coat sheds a lot and needs regular brushing, and many Clumbers drool.
• Loves to carry things: their retrieving instinct often shows in carrying toys, shoes or anything they can find around the house.
• Patient training: they can be independent, so short, positive training sessions work best.

Getting out with a Clumber Spaniel
