Clumber Spaniel

The Clumber Spaniel, the largest of the flushing spaniels, is a dignified and mellow hunting companion historically favored by kings. Standing 17 to 20 inches tall and weighing between 55 to 85 pounds, this breed is built long and low with a massive head and heavy bones. The Clumber Spaniel's dense, primarily white coat features sparse lemon or orange markings and requires regular grooming to maintain its silky, wavy texture.

At home, Clumber Spaniels are sweet, easygoing, and courteous, making them gentle and amusing housemates. They have a relaxed demeanor but are relentless scent hounds when outdoors, showcasing free and easy movement even through thick cover. These smart, eager-to-please dogs respond well to training and enjoy activities like swimming and fetching.

While they are a bit wary of strangers, Clumbers are generally friendly and only bark when necessary, making them indifferent watchdogs. Their entertaining and relaxed nature, combined with their adaptability and amiability, makes the Clumber Spaniel a beloved companion for families and individuals alike.
