watchman 256 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Was after a little cocker but after seeing crufts the other night i wondered if there is a working strain of this breed? nver seen them working myself,got a few pet ones walking the streets around my way but found this if its any use http://www.workingclumber.co.uk/ they really are a cracking looking breed Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Cheers watchman i had a look at that earlier, just wondered if anyone has first hand experience. They look a very steady type of dog not nuts like most springers or cockers, i also liked the look of those sussex spaniels. we dont see much of this type of dog up here on any of the shoots mores the pity. people prefer the dash and drive of the faster dogs. seeing a lot of pointer crosses lately Quote Link to post
danw 1,748 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Have owned a sussex (worked and kept to use as an outcross experiment to see if it would increase the size/fix colour and add a degree of steadiness to my line of cockers) and seen clumbers pick up non of them are a patch on a well bred springer or cocker though they are defiantly slower/steadier than some of the more ftch oriented lines of spaniel.

ftm 3,357 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 saw one up at a place called wooler in northumberland couldnt fault it in any way not as hard working as a cocker[my dog] or a springer but a canny dog all the same not my kind of dog tho as i like the hustle and bustle of the cocker Quote Link to post
spec 45 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 yep, they do work. like most've said they're a slower, more methodical worker than we're probably all used to seeing, certainly pretty different to a cocker. Not really bred to retrieve, but total tanks as beating dogs, plough through any cover. I'd love one. http://www.sedgehurstclumbers.co.uk/ is probably the best line going imo. Quote Link to post
leegreen 2,153 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I really like the look of these, they have a massive nut on them, do you think they have a bite to go with it? Quote Link to post
Dave C 63 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I think Hendo on this site got one last year. Dave. Quote Link to post
hendo 1 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I think Hendo on this site got one last year. Dave. Alright Dave, Your right mate, i got 'Willow' last year from a gentleman in Nottingham, she's from working lines ( Sedgehurst mainly ) she's a great pup very lively, not a lump of a dog by any means, i would say the size of a ESS, im going to put her through her training soon and see what she's made of, i'm sure she'll make the grade.

Dave C 63 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Good luck with her training Hendo and let us know how she gets on mate. ATB Dave. Quote Link to post
