Clumber Spaniel

The breed

The Clumber Spaniel is a large, low-set sporting dog with a sturdy, substantial build. It has a broad head, gentle expression, long feathered ears, and a dense white coat marked with lemon or orange patches. Its body is longer than it is tall, with strong legs and a characteristic rolling gait. The breed’s soft, thoughtful appearance often reflects its calm nature.

Clumber Spaniels are generally affectionate, loyal, and easygoing companions. They tend to be quieter and less excitable than many other spaniels, though they still enjoy following scents and exploring outdoors. Often patient and good-natured, they can be reserved around strangers at first but are usually devoted to their families. Their temperament combines dignified calm with a playful, sometimes mischievous side.
