This is a dog that is better suited to an experienced owner. Canadian Eskimo dogs aren’t known for being overly friendly, especially towards strangers.
You may feel that a spaniel typically doesn’t classify as “big.” But a clumber spaniel is the largest of the spaniel family, standing at 20 inches and weighing up to 85 lbs.
