For those of you who know me IRL, you know my lovely Rani is a Clumber Spaniel.
I discovered Clumbers in a dog encyclopedia when I was 25, and finally, in my 50s, I drove from California to Arizona to pick up my precious bundle.
Clumber Spaniels were one of the first nine breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club. This breed was likely developed in England, and named after the Duke of Newcastle’s Clumber Park. The AKC describes the Clumber as “The Clown Prince and Bird Dog.”
“The breed has been described by its partisans as naughty, mischievous, stubborn, affectionate, and entertaining, but through it all the Clumber retains the touch of regal dignity that marks him as a companion of crowned heads.”
