Clumber Spaniel

The Clumber Spaniel is a large, gentle breed of dog that originated in England in the late 1700s.

Bred as a gundog to hunt game birds, they are known for their thick, white coats and calm, loyal temperaments.

The breed was named after Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, where the Duke of Newcastle kept a pack of them for hunting.

Clumbers have a strong, muscular build and a broad head with a short muzzle. They have a thick, silky coat that can range from yellow to golden-white in color.

Clumbers are known for their intelligence and trainability, making them excellent family pets. They are also very affectionate and loyal, and thrive on human companionship.

Clumbers are relatively low-energy dogs, but they still need regular exercise and mental stimulation. They are happiest when they have a job to do, such as retrieving or tracking.

This breed is not for everyone, as they require a lot of grooming and can be prone to health issues. But with the right owner, they can make a wonderful addition to any family.
