Mille Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Does any of you know anything about this breed? I'm happy with my cockers, but I think these guys are really adorable! (And there's always room for one more dog in the family :wink: ) I haven't seen one for many years, I guess they're quite rare, at least where I live. I found this, what a little heartbreaker... http://www.clumber.net/valpar.jpghttp://clumber.net/om_rasen.jpg Quote
Mille Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 Hmmmm, I must have done something wrong again when I tried attaching the photos... :-? Quote
behle Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 I don't know anything about them other than appreciating how they look! I think they are cute as the dickens! Quote
Mille Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 Yes, they are just beautiful, aren't they! They have something slightly "miniature St. Bernhard'ish" about them, makes me want to :bigok: and :buzi: them! Mille Quote
behle Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Here are some pictures: Aren't they cute? One of the faq sheets I saw said that some believe that the St. Bernard may have been involved in the development of the breed! Quote
Mille Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 Ohhh, look at those faces in the two last pictures!!!!!! I want one!! :bigcry: Thanks, Behle, lovely photos! I didn't know that the St. Bernhard could be a part of the development, it really makes sense, though. The head study really shows some similarities, don't you think? Mille Quote
behle Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 I think so too! That same page said they believed the Basset Hound may be in the bloodlines as well. Here's another photo: Quote
Mille Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 :mdrmed: hi hi - big mouth, big ball! I'm definately in love... They have this cute rolling walk, that I also think the Basset Hound has. I think they're a bit calmer than the other spaniels, too. I love the "stress" and energy of the dogs in the sporting group, but after having cockers, english setters and german pointers with LOTS of energy, I think I'm ready for my next dog to be sliiiiightly more laid back. Now, let's see if I can manage to insert that picture.. Yipppeeeee!! Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 That picture is so cute! :D I agree there my be some Basset Hound...and St.Bernard doesn't surprise me either... :wink: Quote

Mille Posted June 19, 2003 Author Posted June 19, 2003 Thank you so much for the lovely pictures, so nice of you! :D Quote
sheltielover Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Great pics!!! They are so adorable.....love those eyes. Quote
ellieangel Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 I know a real Clumber!!!! Her name is Cleo and she belongs to a friend of my hubbys that he used to work with. She is a looney when playing but much more laid back than my springer....go for it they are beautiful :wink: Quote
Mille Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 Thank's Ellieangel! Cleo is a beautiful name for a Clumber! How is Cleo when she's playing/running? Is she very "slow"? I use to take my dogs with me when I'm jogging, and the Clumbers look a bit "slow" in a way. But I guess if a cocker can keep up with me, a Clumber can, too (doesn't take that much, really :wink: ) How about grooming? I would guess they're easier to groom than both the Springer and the Cocker? And are they as social to people/dogs as the other spaniels? Sorry to bombard you with all my questions, it's just that I want to know as much as I can about them! Mille :D Quote
