Clumber Spaniels are quite unique with their beautiful white coat and orange or lemon markings. They also have an adorable, thoughtful expression that makes the breed even more endearing. It is believed that they were bred in France about 200 years ago. They are heavier than other spaniels and take life at a much slower and leisurely pace than their lighter cousins.

Clumber Spaniels are considered rare primarily because they are classified as a vulnerable native breed by the UK Kennel Club, with fewer than 300 new registrations annually in the UK and Ireland. Their rarity is also due to their specialized history as a gundog breed developed in the UK, which has kept their numbers relatively low compared to more popular breeds.
