Field Spaniel

Breed Group: sporting
"Pretty sure I smell feathers over there!"
Breed Profile
Field Spaniels are slightly larger than Cocker Spaniels but smaller than Springer Spaniels. They love people, get along well with children, and can’t wait to chase any birds. As long as they get their exercise, Field Spaniels can live in many situations.

Behavior

Field Spaniels absolutely love to chase birds and must remain on leash to prevent them from running out in traffic eagerly sniffing out their feathered quarry. The Field Spaniel is very loving toward its owners but slightly less trusting of strangers. They are sensitive dogs who require a light touch with lots of positive reinforcement during training sessions.

Coat

Field Spaniels have a silky coat that is easy to maintain. They have wispy feathering along their chest, the backs of their legs, belly, and their hind quarters. You’ll want to brush the hair of your Field Spaniel at least once a week or after spending time out in the field. This will help get rid of anything they carried in on their fur and will cut down on the amount of hair you find on your furniture.

Lifestyle

Field Spaniels don’t require a house with a large backyard and can adapt to many different living situations,  provided they get their daily exercise. If you lead an active lifestyle and are ready to include a dog in your daily activities, a Field Spaniel would be happy to be your partner in crime. They are also great with children and are usually fine with other animals that they have been raised with.

Activity

Field Spaniels always needs something to do. They love hunting for birds, but they are also happy just playing fetch or doggie sports like flyball or agility competitions. They aren’t couch potatoes, so make sure you’ve got something lined up for them to do every day.
