History of the breed

While the Clumber-Spaniel breed was developed in Britain , it appears that its ancient origins are in France . It was reportedly brought to the British Isles by the Duke of Newcastle. The latter would then have started a breeding on his property, that of Clumber Park , in the county of Nottinghamshire (central-eastern England). It is therefore from this house that the dog takes its name .

The standards of the breed have gradually evolved over the ages, but it is especially in terms of weight that changes have been noted. Indeed, already rather heavy at the origin, the Clumber-Spaniel saw its weight increase significantly around the middle of the last century. The breed was definitively recognized by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) on December 9, 1954.

Education

As with any hunting dog, it is essential to teach the Clumber-Spaniel to recall from an early age . His intelligence and his desire to please his master are key elements in his learning, which must be firm , but never brutal.

Living conditions

the   Clumber-Spaniel   will prefer to live close to nature , in a country house or on the edge of a forest for example, but it can perfectly accommodate an urban living environment if it is sufficiently walked and stimulated on a daily basis.

Health

Due to its rather heavy physical constitution, the Clumber-Spaniel can suffer from various health problems relating in particular to its bones and joints : incomplete ossification of the humeral condyle (IOCH), hip dysplasia, elbow pain, but also uterine inertia and difficult parturition (which may require a cesarean) in the female. For the rest, the Clumber-Spaniel is a generally resistant dog and protected from the cold and bad weather thanks to its coat.

To guard against these risks and insure your companion in the event of health problems, Woopets recommends Clumber-Spaniel dog insurance .

function showAssuranceForm () {var siteReferer = var id_race_association = ”; //console.log(id_race_association);success: function (html) {}});}document.addEventListener (‘DOMContentLoaded’, () => {$ (‘# assuranceModalBanner’). on (‘show.bs.modal’, function (event) {showAssuranceForm ();});});

Life expectancy

Maintenance and hygiene

the   Clumber-Spaniel   is a dog which requires a regular maintenance , in particular at the level of its coat, because it moults almost all the year , with peaks during the seasons of transitions (autumn and spring). Hair loss can then be significant .

It is recommended to brush the dog daily to get rid of dead hair, which can become numerous during the molts.
