Meet the breeder
I'm Linda S., the breeder behind Linda Sidorovich located in Chicopee, MA. While we love showing our dogs, we get so much more enjoyment from the company of living with a Clumber Spaniel. We love what we do and have lots of experience to share! I am a Preservation Breeder. **** PLEASE NOTE **** - As of now, May 8, 2025, I have no tenative plans to breed. In your search for a clumber breeder, PLEASE make sure they show their dogs as all Preservation Breeders do to ensure the health, temperment and breed standard set for our breed. Also check with the CLumber Spaniel Club of America online to see if there are any older puppies or adults that need homes. Yes, even our "rare" breed end up in Rescue situations. Good Luck.
Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
I started in the "way back" (shhh!) with golden retrievers. After about 8 yrs I started a govt job and was not able to keep showing or breeding for many years. A few years after I took a leave of absense, then early retirement due to a work injury, I waited a few years for my first Clumber . Yes, I waited for almost 5 yrs!! I keep all puppies until 11-12 weeks old.What makes your program special?
This is not only to evaluate the best quality for the breed ring, but helps me as a breeder to get them started before going to their new home. I believe 8 wks is far too young to send young pups off. I teach them from 4 weeks on to not only get acquainted with being handled, nails done, stand on grooming table for brushing etc. (more is in my info upon applying after whelping!)Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Parent dogs
Karma, mom
Clumber Spaniel
About Karma
Karma never finished her Ch. title due to a jaw injury when younger, the first clumber Ive had that never earned her title. I am currently starting scentwork with her ..... personally I am disabled so more active hobbies for her are limited. She has ALL of her genetic and health clearances. As with all my previous clumbers, and I have always had a small gang, she has an absolutely sweet gentle personality, loves to just hang out to keep me company and oversee the backyard -- we have a dead end that comes up to the back of our yard so she has neighbors and dogs to keep her busy. Her favorite hobby, besides playing with her toys is still going to the local dog shows to visit with friends, 2 and 4 legged. Currently I have 2 options for who she will be bred too. That will be decided soon. I do not take deposits until puppies are 2 weeks old and past the critical newborn stage. If anyone chooses to not wait, let me know and I can recommend other breeders.
