jim91 2 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 As above anyone use or seen these dogs work or are they more for the show ring? Cheers Quote Link to post
max_wood 161 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Seen both mate. Beating on pheasant +partridge shoots.brittany where more lively and agile.clumbers lovely steady easy going but had to be lifted into beaters wagon ect. Both great breeds.also seen a sussex spaniel which i think is a real smart dog 1 Quote Link to post
glenng 15 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 One of the picker ups on our shoot has a young clumber and she is coming on well.harder to train than other spaniels though. Quote Link to post
max_wood 161 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I think its great too see something different out doing the job. But i suppose if they where as good as say springers they wouldn't be rare.not knocking them or people that have them i just feel they would be less useful than a cocker or springer Quote Link to post
jok 3,244 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Go and watch a field test for either breed and I think any questions will be answered.lol. Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Brittany is an hpr breed fast and furious and they don't miss much but you need to be training them before they are born as they are dynamite. Clumbers are slow and steady spaniels. Totally different jobs in the purest sense but with good handling the bittany can do the lot 1 Quote Link to post
david901 165 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I've got 2 Brittanys. They are not really spaniels as Stroller has pointed out. They are definitely working dogs and stopping them can be the problem. There are a few clips of them on Youtube. Check out Rathcormack Gun Club. They are not all as calm and easy going though. Most are hard work to train. Think of them as a pointer or setter that range quite far rather than spaniel that works close. Quote Link to post
Naustroms 92 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hunted behind a friend's two big running Brittanys really hard working dogs and this pair worked beautifully. Never seen a clumber afield. Quote Link to post
Archi 46 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Check out working clumber spaniel society and speak to one of the committee They will help you take a look at them working Have one and yes are slower than a springer but are methodical with good noses Go and watch them work There are getting more out in the shooting field Quote Link to post
