Field Spaniel

The gentle and sensitive Field Spaniel is widely known for its calm and agreeable nature, yet it becomes energetic, enthusiastic, and eager when playing or working in the field. Although closely related to the Cocker Spaniel and Springer Spaniel and relatively rare in number, the Field Spaniel possesses a remarkable charm that leaves a lasting impression.

Field Spaniels share a clear family resemblance with Cocker, Springer, and Sussex spaniels. Their distinctive, glossy coat appears in solid black, various shades of liver, or a combination of both colors. Standing about 17 to 18 inches at the shoulder, they present the image of a well-balanced, moderately built hunting companion. Long, feathered ears frame a face that reflects a serious yet gentle intelligence. Field Spaniels are affectionate and sensitive by nature, with just enough independence to add character and interest. They are dependable with children, tolerant of other animals, and highly responsive to training. While the breed standard describes them as “unusually docile” house dogs, they are also playful and thoroughly enjoy lively outdoor activity, including spirited play in the backyard.
