Care and nutrition
The care expenditure is relatively high. The dense coat must be brushed well every day, otherwise it will become matted. The ears must also be brushed carefully and cleaned regularly. The food should contain a high proportion of meat, but no cereals. Two balanced food rations a day are sufficient. The dogs are relatively voracious eaters and tend to be overweight. Therefore, when giving treats, restraint is advised and regular weight checks are recommended.
Health and life expectancy
Typical diseases of the breed are eye diseases, hip dysplasia and slipped discs. As always, however, good genes through appropriate breeding selection are the best safeguard. The dogs can live up to 14 years in good health.
Worth knowing
The dogs have an increased allergy potential. The Clumber Spaniel also has some negative traits - it snores and drools quite a bit. If you still want one of these dogs, you'll have to do some searching, as the dogs are rare and breeders are few and far between. VDH member clubs, such as the Jagdspaniel-club, or the Spaniel-club-deutschland canbe helpful in your search. Good luck with the search!
