The Clumber Spaniel Club (CSC)

The Clumber Spaniel Club (CSC) serves as a dedicated organization for enthusiasts, owners, and prospective owners of the Clumber Spaniel breed. The club is committed to fostering a community centered around the welfare, promotion, and responsible management of these unique dogs. By providing resources for puppy availability, health screening, and breed-specific events, the CSC acts as a central hub for the Clumber Spaniel community.

Core Mission and Membership

The club actively encourages new members to join their ranks, offering a welcoming environment for those interested in the breed. Membership is structured to ensure active participation, with specific requirements for those wishing to serve on the committee. To maintain the integrity and leadership of the organization, the club mandates that committee members must have been part of the club for at least two years, while officers are required to have a five-year tenure. The club is currently seeking to fill key leadership roles, including President, Vice Chair, Breed Health Coordinator, and Field Trial Secretary, reflecting its commitment to robust governance.

Activities and Events

The CSC organizes various activities to engage its members and showcase the breed, including:

• Open Shows: The club hosts official breed shows, such as the event scheduled for April 2026 at the Kegworth Village Hall, featuring breed judges and special awards.
• Communication and Networking: The club maintains regular contact with its members through newsletters, such as 'Clumber Clips,' and provides updates on committee meetings and administrative changes.
• Puppy Coordination: The club facilitates connections between breeders and prospective owners, maintaining waiting lists to assist those looking to bring a Clumber Spaniel into their homes.

Health and Standards

The Clumber Spaniel Club places a high priority on the health and well-being of the breed. In alignment with the Kennel Club, the organization supports the recording of official international health scheme screening results. These results are integrated into the Health Test Result Finder, which helps prioritize health standards and assists potential owners in identifying responsibly bred puppies. The club also operates under a set of formal rules, which are periodically reviewed and amended at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to ensure they remain current with modern standards and practices.
