Description
The Clumber Spaniel is a gentle giant, a laid-back soul with a surprising goofy streak. They adore their human family, often acting like a furry shadow, and thrive on being included in household activities. While generally placid indoors, they have a deep-seated love for sniffing and exploring, a holdover from their days as dedicated game retrievers in dense cover. This means they need regular, engaging walks and plenty of mental stimulation; otherwise, their intelligent minds can become a bit mischievous. Their deep-set eyes and perpetually serious expression often belie a playful and affectionate nature.
