Field Spaniel

The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized, playful and distinguished breed that craves affection from its family. His passion for bird flushing makes him an excellent hunter, but he also excels in field trials and tracking tests thanks to his impressive olfactory abilities. A close relative of the Cocker Spaniel and English Springer Spaniel breeds, this dog was initially separated primarily by size, weighing between 35 to 50 pounds – larger than the former yet smaller than the latter. He’s your perfect companion: full of love and eagerness!

If you’re searching for an affectionate and loyal family pet as well as a reliable hunter, the Field Spaniel should be at the top of your list. This breed has all of the typical Spaniel characteristics such as sensitivity and willingness to learn, yet is also reserved around strangers if not properly socialized – though owners can expect some lighthearted mischief! What’s more, they have been known to express themselves vocally in response to sirens or music. Rarely seen but highly sought-after; these dogs are truly special companions.

With his medium build and gentle demeanor, the Field Spaniel makes a perfect companion for families with children. Plus, they get along effortlessly with cats when raised in their presence. Although pet birds may want to be cautious around them due to this breed’s hunting instincts; they are always willing to take up the chase of feathered game whenever possible! Therefore, unless you live in an area free from traffic interference it is best to keep your pup on leash at all times so that he doesn’t follow these urges blindly.

The Field Spaniel is an active breed and requires a purposeful role in life. An hour’s worth of leash walking each day, accompanied with some off-leash stretches at traffic-free areas will provide the adequate exercise he needs. Challenging activities such as canine agility, obedience, rally and tracking are also suitable for this type of dog – perfect outlets to keep him physically stimulated!

To keep your Field Spaniel’s luscious, medium-length feathered coat in top condition, set aside time for regular brushing and combing once or twice a week. Moreover, trim the hair between the footpads and inside the ears to avoid mats and tangles from forming. Furthermore, give them a nice bath every 6 weeks or so! Additionally remember to clip their nails regularly as well as brush their teeth to maintain optimal health – Last but not least make sure you also clean out their ears routinely while keeping them cool & dry at all times in order prevent infections.

The Field Spaniel’s gentle disposition will not respond well to a strict training regimen; consequently, the best method for teaching him is through positive reinforcement – think compliments, playtime and treats! And of course, as he loves people immensely it only makes sense that this breed should live with his family indoors.
