Be very clear in your own mind whether you want a working or show bred pup and insist that all the relevant health checks are done.  With the small gene pool this breed unfortunately has a LOT of health problems - also, some lines have temperament issues which appear to manifest more in the males.

OOOh you learn something new everyday ... it is true .. we have one around here who we meet everyday and me being me thought he was a badly bred spaniel ... His owner never says what he is just how he is as a dog .. Glad i never asked what he was crossed with ...

If you want a working type clumber have a look at www.sedgehurstclumbers.co.uk . The Zurich's have endevoured to bring the hip stats down for working clumbers and the majority of theirs are  single digits with a couple double digits but well below 20. If I am correct the mean score for clumbers is 43. Have watched these fun little spaniels in working tests and they are super jolly dogs.
A Golden is born half trained, a springer dies half trained. Where are my running shoes ???
