A Clumber Spaniel is a friendly dog ​​who possesses good qualities, for example, it is extremely stable and well-balanced. The breed tends to be somewhat more reserved than the other spaniels who are often very contact-seeking - also towards humans and other dogs that it does not know. The breed can be a bit self-willed, and it is rarely seen that it will just come to terms with other dogs approaching its ‘herd’. The breed is originally a hunting dog, which mostly functions as a family dog today. In a family, it is often seen that the Clumber Spaniel attaches itself to one specific person.
The breed is always sweet but can also seem a little lazy. However, the breed greatly appreciates daily walks, preferably with the opportunity to move freely and use its excellent sense of smell, despite its laziness. The breed is generally also appreciative of contact with other people and dogs. You will find that the breed is always nice to other dogs. The Clumber Spaniel is named after the Duke of Newcastle's home in Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. The French Duke of Noailles moved to Clumber Park with his retrieving hunting dogs shortly before the revolution of 1789. Later, they were presumably crossed with the Basset Hound and perhaps the Bloodhound. At the time, they wanted a heavy dog ​​that could penetrate even the densest bush and search slowly and thoroughly without barking. The breed became popular with retired officers and officials, and it was bred by Edward VII at Sandringham. The breed is about 48-50 cm - the females can be a bit smaller. The breed has a general weight of about 25-32 kg, applicable to both genders.
When the breed has the opportunity to be outdoors, it is very active and it finds great joy in following a trail. Indoors, it is extremely calm and rarely causes problems, as it always adapts to the family's activity level. As a young dog, it needs to be socialized early and persistently in order to overcome its reservation towards strangers and dogs. It is very important that you are aware of this part of the upbringing.
The fur of the breed is very fluffy and smoothly adjoined with a silky structure, which is super soft. The coat should be brushed thoroughly once a week. Spots containing a lot of fur, which is on its legs and chest, should be groomed often to avoid filters, which can be quite annoying for the dog. The coat is not very dirt-repelling, and dust and dirt is easily seen on the white coat. That being said, a bath every now and then can do wonders.
The breed works best at a slow pace, and preferably at a slower pace than what most other dogs do. Apart from this, you should be very aware of the heavy body and not overload the dog until it is fully grown, since it can damage its joints.
