Temperament :
The Clumber is an efficient gundog, although not as fast as some. His temperament is described as gentle, loyal and affectionate, but dignified and aloof with strangers. Disadvantages of owning a Clumber are said to be constant shedding, snoring, drooling, especially after a drink of water, and an incredible inventiveness for raiding kitchen counters, cabinets, and even the refrigerator. Puppies are especially curious and inventive. The combination of a very people-focused disposition and a strong urge to carry something has led to many missing shoes and other articles of clothing.
Grooming :
The Clumber Spaniel is a heavy shedder with a dense coat. Daily brushing is required to keep the coat tangle-free. In addition, the eyes and ears should be regularly cleaned and the hair under the ears occasionally clipped. The coat should also be trimmed on occasion.
Exercise :
Young Clumbers are extremely active but as adults they slow down considerably. Dailey fetch games will usually satisfy the exercise requirements of a full grown Clumber.
