The Clumber Spaniel is an ancient breed of dog originally bred as a game-retrieving dog for pheasants and ducks. Their genetic origin can be traced back to the now extinct Alpine Spaniels, and Basset Hounds. They may originally have come from France in the mid-1700s, but during the French Revolution, several breeding dogs were sent to live with the Duke of Newcastle in Clumber Park, near Nottingham in the UK. He began breeding the Spaniels, which is where they got the name Clumber Spaniel from.
They were favourites with British Royalty, with both King Edward VII and King George V breeding these good-natured spaniels. They were introduced into Canada in 1844 and became one of the first pure-bred dogs to be recognised by the American Kennel Club. However, it is now a comparatively rare breed.
It is a long, large and gentle breed known for its calm and friendly nature. They have a dense, silky white coat with lemon or orange spots around the head, a square nose and muzzle, and large floppy ears. They require regular brushing and grooming. Clumber Spaniels are known for their affectionate and easy-going temperament. They are highly intelligent, but can be stubborn, requiring consistent training. Clumber Spaniels thrive in homes with ample space and families who can provide constant companionship.
Their calm demeanour makes them adaptable to various living situations, but they require regular gentle exercise to stay healthy. They do not cope with the Australian heat well, and need to be protected from extremely hot weather to stop them from suffering heat stress.
Most Australians can expect to pay between $20 and $60 a month for pet insurance. There are many factors that can influence the cost of pet insurance for your Clumber Spaniel, including the following:
This is the most basic type of pet insurance, covering costs for accidental injuries such as car accidents, poisoning, burns, fractures, snake and spider bites, but not illnesses and other conditions.
This type of insurance provides cover for accidental injuries as well as illnesses like cancer, gastrointestinal problems and eye, ear and skin conditions, but not routine care for your pet.
This offers the highest level of protection, covering accident and illness and potentially routine care such as vaccinations, dental care, worm and flea treatments and microchipping.
