These breeds are amongst the most low-key and easygoing of the hunting breeds. These dogs are very affectionate and playful. Clumbers are well-mannered and not very active when mature, and are usually trustworthy with the family children. They are truly the most affectionate dogs for families. My husband is in the process of training his male and our 2 young girls to hunt for the upcoming fall season. It will be 2 years before we will have puppies. We will be testing for eye clearance and OFA hips and joints before we do any breeding.

This breed has been dated back to the 1800s. They have enjoyed considerable popularity in the U.K. In 1844, Lieutenant Venables, an officer of the British regiment stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, introduced the Clumber Spaniel to North America. The first Clumber Spaniel listed in the AKC registry, recorded for the date of 1878 was Bustler, an orange and white dog owned by Benjamin Smith of Nova Scotia. It is interesting to note that records of breeding of dogs in the United States existed long before the American Kennel Club was founded. Therefore, it is very important to us to protect to continue to protect the breeding of Clumber Spaniels.
