A very important difference between the Clumber Spaniel and the Puggle is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Clumber Spaniel is a medium-sized dog while the Puggle is a small-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Clumber Spaniel belongs to the Sporting Dogs group. Sporting Dogs were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game.

Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.
