Lloyd90 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 What’s lines are they mate? Nice dogs clumbers, big solid things. In the right hands they could do well. I wasn’t aware there were any FTCH clumbers about though. Hard to get a judge that will admire them over a springer in an AV trial sadly. I think there were one or two clumber only trials last year for the first time in a long time so perhaps they’re on the up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I thought you were Roy Ellershaw for a minute then Bumpy 🤣🤣 but apparently not. I have however asked my mate who’s big into clumbers and he says he knows you. He said the litter is very well bred and should be crackers. Anyone looking for a clumber would do well to give you a call in that case 👍🏻. Best of luck would be nice to hear how they come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 3 are going to usa apparently. I just thought I would put the last one on here as a good site for dogs. I have terriers know nothing about these if I am honest. But any more info I can find out or give owner a bell. I know viewing would be welcome providing social distancing. Let me know if you want anymore info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshAndy Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would love to own a clumber one day... but with a young pup in the kennel and another on the way it’s not the right time. All the best 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clumber Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Myself I found him easy to train. He's quite a soft dog so went gently but he'd pick up most things second or third time of asking. He could be quite headstrong at times as he grew so we'd pack up for the day. Could get bored easily so I mixed it up each day. He'd need scent or would look at me with a 'your joking' look when we moved on to cold game. I went along the Divid Lisset line with bits from quite a few other trainers. They work like a Springer but a little slower and with a purpose, I'd say. The same but different, not as frantic if you get me? Fantastic noses.

Dries up and just looks at him when no scent and then on scent can go deaf and pull on ahead ignoring. His one is a nice size like a very stocky small springer size. I saw another one a male recently when training and it was a massive lump of a thing, you can just see that it would be powerful though. Bet it was a beast through cover.

Fatcatsplat Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I've had a couple over the years and love them - They are intelligent, methodical and have a wonderful nose. You have to negotiate rather than tell them what to do and a soft voice goes a long way. They'll face any cover and really go the extra mile to find a bird. Bad points - Get the knees and eyes checked out and they shed like lunatics!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Cracking little dogs, persistent noses for sure, but characters and I like that in a dog, shows they aren't clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumber Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 When he was in his prime fighting weight would be 27 - 28Kgs. He was about eight when that picture was taken and about 30Kgs. Unfortunately he has Progressive Retinal Atrophy, PRA. Stills okay during daylight but dusk is a problem. Still gets excited when the gun comes out Will look for another next year.
