Field Spaniel

The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized, active breed of dog that originated in England in the 19th century.

Bred as a hunting companion, they are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and gentle nature.

They have a long, silky coat that comes in a variety of colors, including black, liver, and golden.

Field Spaniels were developed in the 1800s by crossing Cocker Spaniels with Sussex Spaniels.

This combination created a breed that was well-suited for hunting in dense cover and retrieving game.

They quickly became popular among hunters and were recognized by the Kennel Club in 1894.

Field Spaniels are intelligent, loyal, and affectionate dogs.

They are eager to please and respond well to training.

They are also active and need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy.

They make excellent family pets and get along well with children and other animals.
