Clumber spaniel is a short, heavy hunting dog. It has a white coat with orange- or lemon-colored markings. Males stand about 20 inches (51 centimeters) high at the shoulder, and weigh as much as 85 pounds (39 kilograms). Females weigh up to 70 pounds (32 kilograms). The Clumber spaniel was probably developed in the late 1700’s in England. It is named for Clumber Park, the home of a nobleman who helped develop the breed. The dog is slow but thorough on a hunt. It is not widely used by hunters in the United States. See also Spaniel.
