Dogs in this group specialize in different hunting disciplines and use different techniques. These are dogs that are very focused on their sense of smell in order to follow their tracks. One problem with this sense of smell is that they are easily lost. They are also dogs that have a real voice and use it to warn their master when they have found game. To be precise, the Clumber Spaniel belongs to the second category of this group: hunting dogs.

The Clumber Spaniel is said to have come from France about two hundred years ago. It was mainly used as a hunting dog. Afterwards, they were raised mainly in Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, England. The breed was already heavier in nature than other spaniels because they are less active, but since the 1950s their weight has only increased. Therefore, it is estimated that many dogs are currently heavier than their ideal weight.

In general, the Clumber Spaniel resembles a sturdy and strong, yet well-proportioned dog. The Clumber still seems fit for work, although today he is more of a companion dog. Males have an average height of 45 to 50 centimeters and, as with most breeds, this size is a few centimeters less for females. The ideal weight for a male is between 30 and 34 kg and for a female between 25 and 30 kg. Quite large and square, the head is characterized by heavy eyebrows and a serious, thoughtful look. The dog's bite is almost perfect and the ears are long, leaf-shaped and covered with wiry hair. The neck is relatively long, thick and above all powerful. The body of the Clumber is long and appears very strong due to the good muscle formation. The Clumber has a low, full tail. The legs are quite short, but look quite strong. Thick, stiff and silky, the coat is preferably white with a few yellow or orange markings. The breed's head is marked and the dog has freckles on the muzzle.

In general, the Clumber Spaniel is a healthy breed with an average life expectancy of 12 years, but some disorders still appear regularly. A first disorder is hip dysplasia, an inherited disorder in which the femur does not seat properly in the hip joint. This can cause pain, and as the dog ages, it may develop arthritis. This is why it is important to carefully monitor the dog's weight. Additionally, the dog may also suffer from hypothyroidism, a poorly functioning thyroid gland. This can lead to obesity, lethargy and infertility, but can be treated with medication. Finally, the breed is also susceptible to drooping eyelids and ear infections.

The Clumber is a true family dog, and thanks to its calm personality, it gets along well with children. Even if we play roughly with him, he remains calm. He also gets along well with other dogs or pets, but is rather wary of unfamiliar people. However, he is not aggressive. Although the Clumber Spaniel is very calm for a large dog, they need daily exercise. For a puppy, it is very important to ensure that the joints are not disrupted too much, as this can make hip dysplasia worse. Although Clumbers are less playful than other Spaniels, they are known for their ingenuity, such as opening toilets to lie down in them. The Clumber is energetic and enthusiastic in its own way, although it places great importance on rest. Like other hunting dogs, the Clumber is generally very obedient, except when it sees game. When walking him, only release his leash in a safe area.
