Field Spaniel

Dog breed

About

The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized dog breed originating from England, known for its versatility and rarity. It is characterized by a sturdy build, a noble head, and a glossy coat, typically in solid colors such as black or liver. The breed's history dates back to the mid-19th century, initially developed for both hunting and show purposes. Over time, it evolved into a more practical hunting dog through crosses with other spaniel breeds. Field Spaniels are highly intelligent, active, and affectionate dogs, making them excellent family pets. They are patient with children and generally get along well with other pets. Their energetic nature requires regular exercise, and they thrive in environments where they can engage in outdoor activities. While they are easy to train, early socialization is crucial to develop confidence. Their coats require regular grooming to prevent matting. Despite being generally healthy, they can be prone to certain health issues like hip dysplasia and eye problems.
