Clumber Spaniel Health Information:
All in all, Clumber Spaniels are a pretty healthy breed. Some individuals can experience problems with their eyes, so it's important to look out for potential problems like cherry eye with this breed. Also, due to their long back, they are quite often plagued with hip dysplasia. For this reason, it's essential you give your potential breeder careful consideration when you go to purchase a Clumber Spaniel puppy. Ensure your breeder is well-educated in health problems of the Clumber Spaniel, that they do proper testing, and that they offer a guarantee in the event that your dog does develop hip problems.
Also, be sure to teach your Clumber Spaniel not to jump up on furniture or beds - this will help to lessen the chances of hip problems.
Clumber Spaniel Exercise Information:
While playful as puppies, some adult Clumber Spaniels tend to be lazy and are content to spend the day loafing about as giant couch potatoes. This can, of course, lead to a risk of obesity and it's important to coax even the most unmotivated individuals out for at least one daily walk, just to keep him healthy.
Clumber Spaniel Grooming Needs:
The Clumber Spaniel has a wonderfully soft and silky coat that is both plush and dense. However, with such soft hair comes a price - The Clumber Spaniel is a serious, almost constant, shedder. Anyone considering the breed must be prepared to live with a lint-roller in hand and not be afraid to wear white after Labor Day!
