History: The dogs contributed to make this breed were, the Basset hound, St Bernard, and Alpine Spaniel. There is no proof, but it is believed this breed was created in 18th century France by one of the Dukes of Noailles. Threatened by the French Revolution, the Duke transferred his dogs to England, to his closest family, the Duke of Newcastle. Here the breed was in favour with royalty and the name possibly derives from the Duke of Newcastle’s estate called Cumber Park. This is the heaviest of the Spaniel’s and is a slow, quiet hunter. This dog is able to work independently or within a pack showing good endurance to do particularly well in dense undergrowth, and they have a fine sense of smell. This breed has been trained to retrieve and track. In 1848, the breed arrived in Canada, and from there made its way to the United States. The Clumber Spaniel was first recognized by the AKC in 1884.

So training is not difficult. This breed can make a good hunting dog particular bird hunting and is a natural retriever, they are also good in water. This dog is tactile and will require good chew toys with clear instructions of what they can and can’t chew.

Grooming: This dog’s coat needs grooming regularly with the brush. Trimming of the coat will be required every few months. Ears and eyes need to be cleaned and inspected weekly.
