Clumber Spaniels

With dense bone and powerful legs, the Clumber Spaniel is a low, heavy dog with endurance to move through underbrush to hunt game. Males grow 19 - 20 inches, and weigh 70 to 85 pounds, while females are about 17 - 19 inches, and weigh between 55 and 70 pounds. He has a white, weather resistant coat so hunters can distinguish him from game, for he works within gun range.  The unique Clumber Spaniel's ancestors may include the Basset Hound, resulting in its long back, and the St. Bernard, from which it gets its massive head. Today, many of these dogs live a leisurely life as companions. Although generally calm, a bored dog can be quite destructive.
