Clumber Spaniel - Purebred Dogs and Puppies
A member of the Sporting group,The Clumber Spaniel is a long, low and very heavily built dog. They possess a great energy and eagerness for hunting yet are quite controllable while out in the field.
The Clumber is a very loyal and affectionate dog; sometimes they can be reserved with strangers, but should never be hostile or timid.
His heavy brow, deep chest, straight forelegs, powerful hindquarters, massive bone, and good feet all give him the power and endurance to move through dense underbrush in pursuit of game out in the field.
His white coat allows him to be easily seen by the hunter as he works well within gun range. His stature is dignified, his expression pensive, but at the same time, he can show great enthusiasm for work and play.
The Clumber Spaniel is a very versatile hunting dog and can even be a fantastic retriever when trained to do so. Their overall demeanor indicates a high intelligence, an eagerness to please their master, as well as a great deal of friendliness.

They are great with children and other pets as well and the best home for them is inside with the family with regular exercise and weekly grooming sessions - including cleaning the ears.
"Disadvantages" of owning a Clumber are often said to be the following: snoring, constant shedding, drooling (especially after getting a drink), and a particularly inventive mind - able to easily raid cabinets, kitchen counters, and even the refrigerator if given the opportunity to do so.
Clumber puppies are said to be particularly curious and inventive as well. They also possess a very strong urge to carry something in their mouths at all times, especially with their owners scent on it, which could easily lead to many missing shoes, socks or other pieces of clothing - anything which these dogs could deem as being "toy-worthy".
Typically Clumber Spaniel males are around 19-20 inches tall and weigh 70-85 pounds; females are around 17-19 inches tall and weigh around 55-70 pounds. Think big dog - short legs.
