Field Spaniel Puppies

Field Spaniels are sensitive, affectionate, and loyal to their owners. They are devoted to their families, but can be shy and timid around strangers. They are very patient with children and get along well with other dogs. If they are left alone for long periods of time they can become bored and destructive.

Field Spaniels are generally healthy but could still be subject to ear infections, hip dysplasia, allergies, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, cancer, cataracts, ectropion, epilepsy, hypothyroidism, or prgressive retinal atrophy.

They are an active sporting breed and require exercise that works the mind and body. They are docile, but are engaged while they are exercising. They love swimming and do well in canine sports.

The lovely Field Spaniel coat does require regular maintenance to remain shiny and beautiful. They should be brushed and combed weekly, which reduces shedding. Do not clip your Field Spaniel's coat, unlike other spaniel breeds. You can bathe your Field Spaniel as needed. Their coat is naturally water repellant, so this shouldn't be too often.

Field Spaniels' dense coat sheds a moderate amount.

Field Spaniels have a long single coat with no undercoat. Their coat comes in black and liver colorings, with some white markings appearing around the throat. Their long, fluffy ears perfectly frame their dark, gentle eyes.

The Field Spaniel wasn't designated apart from other British spaniels until the late 19th century, when dog shows became popular. They were instantly a hit in show rings but also remained capable hunters. It increased sharply in popularity but poor breeding practices caused health problems, which in turn hurt their popularity. Reputable breeders brought Field Spaniels back from the brink of extinction in the early 20th century.
