Clumber

Personality

The Clumber Spaniel is a calm, dignified, and affectionate breed. They are loyal and gentle with their families, often showing a sweet, sometimes stubborn, but always eager-to-please demeanor. They are less excitable than many other sporting dogs.

Exercise Needs

Requires moderate daily exercise such as long walks or play sessions. They enjoy scent work and retrieving but are not high-intensity athletes. They are happy to relax at home after their activity.

Grooming & Care

Regular brushing several times a week is needed to manage moderate shedding and prevent mats. Pay special attention to cleaning the ears and facial folds. They are prone to weight gain, so monitor diet carefully.

Family Suitability

Health Considerations

Prone to hip dysplasia, intervertebral disc disease, and eye conditions like entropion. Their heavy build and love of food make weight management critical to joint health.
