Facts & Origin
Clumberton (Clumber Spaniel and Bedlington Terrier mix)
The Clumberton is a hybrid breed created by crossing the Clumber Spaniel and Bedlington Terrier. The Clumber Spaniel, originally from England, is known for its calm, loving nature and remarkable hunting instincts. The Bedlington Terrier, also from England, is a lively and playful dog with a unique, lamb-like appearance. This cross results in a unique dog with a strong character that combines the best traits of both parent breeds.
Suitability and attitude
The Clumberton is ideal for active families looking for a canine companion. Their blend of energy and affection makes them great companions for outdoor activities like hiking, running, or playing in the park. At the same time, they are patient enough to spend quiet evenings at home. They get along well with children and are good with other pets if socialized from a young age.
