The breed takes its name from the second Duke of Newcastle, who late in the 18th century bred at Clumber Park from a stock brought from France by the Duc de Noailles. One of the handsomest of the Spaniel family, the Clumber is easily trained, and of remarkable endurance and perseverance; he is equally valuable as a retriever for driven birds or as a companion of the sportsman out with his gun. In field trials too, the Clumber often wins distinction. Colour white with slight lemon markings.
