Field Spaniels
The Field Spaniel shares its early history with
the Cocker Spaniel, not being recognised as a separate breed until
the 1800's. Despite an almost disastrous decline in popularity in
the 1900's, numbers have now increased. It is an able hunter and is
happiest when it has a job to do.
The Field Spaniel gait should be long and unhurried, with drive from
the rear. It’s coat is long and flat, silky in texture and is both
dense and waterproof. The general appearance of the Field Spaniel
should be one of a well balanced, noble, upstanding sporting
Spaniel, built for activity and endurance. |
