About Clumber Spaniel

Country of Origin, History of Clumber Spaniels

One theory is that it originated in France, stating that the Duc de Noailles at the time of the French Revolution gave his kennel of prized spaniels to the Duke of Newcastle at Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire. Another theory holds that it was developed in Britain from older breeds of hunting spaniels, perhaps by crossing them with Bassets or St. Hubert's hounds.

Clumber Spaniel Personality Traits

Dog with lovers

Temperament of the Dog

The Clumber Spaniel is described as a gentle, sweet, quite intelligent, a bit willful, well-behaved, playful, affectionate, easy-going, low-key and pleasant dog. Clumbers will get along with children, other dogs, cats as well as other household animals if they are raised with them, but are often unfriendly towards strangers. They tend to be a one-person dog. As puppies, they may be submissive urinators. Clumber spaniels can be used for hunting and retrieving pheasants and partridges. They are good water dogs. They should be provided with good chew toys.

Living Conditions

Clumber Spaniels will do okay in an apartment if they are sufficiently exercised. They are very inactive indoors and a small yard will be sufficient. They are more comfortable in cool weather due to their dense coats.

Training

Exercise

Young Clumbers are much more active than grown ones. They need to be taken for a daily long walk. In addition, a few minutes of swimming or playing fetch will usually satisfy the exercise requirements of a full grown Clumber. One should not jog with a Clumber in hot weather on pavements.

Training

They do not take well to heavy-handed discipline. This dog has a good memory and it likes to do things to please its master, therefore training is not usually difficult.
