Hi all

 

Just wanted to ask you lot out there what you think of the Clumber as a beaters dog, I am just bringing on a Sprocker but want to replace his mother soon (English Springer)and fancy a change what do you think.

Working clumbers make great beating dogs as they have a nice steady pace (slow........ish)

my 1st spaniel was a wee blue roan springer and i thought he was turbo charged now ive got a black and white cocker bitch and it has after burners hardest thing i found with her was to get her attention off me onto marking the dummie but shes a great wee hunter and 1st day out beating/picking up was finding partridge and pheasant no problem with minimum previous experience of cold game even wiped the eye of my very experienced lab bitch on a runner cock pheasant. if your training a sprocker then just go with either of the parent breeds after being used to the pace of the other spaniels the pace of the clumber may be too slow.

i like the idea of a clumber, but the one's ive seen for sale are all around £800

stick with a springer or a cocker mate

At that price i would need a big lock on kennel door, Don't think i could justify that much for a working dog

I might have to with the price of a Clumber
