Field Spaniel
Puppy
Fully Grown
The Field Spaniel is not as common these days as its breed brother, the Cocker Spaniel. Like all Spaniel breeds, Field Spaniels adore children and also love to jump up on them. You can be sure you that you will always be greeted with a jump and a kiss on your cheek when you come home if you have a Field Spaniel!
This is a hunting breed, but it never becomes an issue when they are kept as family dogs. They make perfect city and family dogs, displaying great manners towards children and other dogs. They are full of energy and love to run around in any type of weather.
Field Spaniels will happily spend hours retrieving the ball for the kids. Their favorite task though is when someone throws the ball into the bushes, and they need to search for it. This is when their working dog tenacity comes through and their hearts will fill up with pure happiness when they eventually find it. They will then come bounding back to you like they just won Lotto!
They are easy to train and keen to please all family members alike.
To avoid matting of their very fine coats, daily brushing is a must.
