The Clumber Spaniel breed is described as dignified, charming, loving, entertaining, inquisitive, affectionate, intelligent,
gentle, mischievous, stubborn, determined, self-willed, appealing, and naughty. The Clumber is a loyal dog, good with
children and amiable with other animals. His happy personality and perceptive intelligence make him a much-loved member of
the family. The hallmark of the breed is his sweet and gentle temperament.
The Clumber thrives on attention. Most Clumbers love to fetch so they are not difficult to exercise or keep amused.
They also like to carry things in their mouths, often picking something off the floor when greeting, all the while dancing
a little jig. While Clumbers like nothing better than a walk with their master, they are not the breed of choice for
people who wish to run or jog long distances with their pet.
The Clumber Spaniel responds to positive reinforcement and praise. Consistency and patience is the key to all obedience
training. Harsh training methods are usually ineffective on the sensitive Clumber
