The Clumber Spaniel is characterized by a uniquely gentle and loyal disposition, making them wonderful household companions. They are highly affectionate with their families and thrive in a calm, relaxed environment, often content with simply curling up to eat and nap. However, they can display a reserved manner when meeting strangers.
Originally developed for hunting pheasant and partridge, the Clumber is built for the field. They possess an independent mind, but their slow, quiet work style, combined with exceptional stamina and an acute sense of smell, makes them adept at navigating dense undergrowth. Their broad muzzle is perfectly suited for retrieving various game.
Though they enjoy a calm home life, Clumbers have a curious and playful side, especially in their youth. Owners should be prepared for their grooming needs, as this breed is a medium shedder that requires frequent brushing and maintenance.
