Character and temperament of the Clumber Lab
The Clumber Lab is known for its friendly, affectionate and easy-going nature. This dog is very affectionate and loves the company of his people. He is both intelligent and trainable, with a desire to please, which makes training relatively easy.
Clumber Labs are also very good with children and other pets, making them excellent family dogs. They are naturally social and enjoy both playtime and relaxation time with their family.
It should be noted, however, that Clumber Labs, like their parent breeds, can have a strong "retriever instinct," meaning they like to retrieve things and may even have a penchant for chewing. Therefore, it is important to provide them with appropriate toys and physical as well as mental stimulation.
