Overview
The Field Spaniel is originally from England, and a descendant of the English Cocker Spaniel. The Field Spaniel almost became extinct after poor selection practices throughout the late 1800s. Breeders inflated the dog's natural weight and length. This breed is still very rare, and a very popular show dog because of this. The Field Spaniel only became popular in the 1920s in the western world. It was not until the later 1920's that the dog rose to prominence in the western world. These dogs are admired for their natural beauty and key qualities.
Temperament
The Field Spaniel is a very sociable, obedient and elegant breed. These dogs are very passive, composed and independent. They have a high intelligence, and love to play. This breed makes a wonderful family pet because they are always friendly, and get along very well with children. It is imperative for these dogs to be socialised early on, otherwise they will become very wary of strangers. This is a natural characteristic, but they can be very sociable and outgoing once they break out of this routine. If the Field Spaniel is under socialised in early years, it will be to a great extent not interested in interacting with strangers.
Care
The coat of the Field Spaniel can be brushed and combed twice during the week to keep it in a good condition. All irregular and excessive hair should be cut every few months. If you take your Field Spaniel to the doggie parlour once a month, all the basic grooming needs of this breed will be covered.
Training
The Field Spaniel is a very independent breed that learns very quickly. They are usually caught up in playing games, and but passive by nature. Training these dogs is not hard because they are very clever and sociable, and are usually very open to acquiring new skills and activities. They will withdraw when treated in a cruel or unkind way, so it is important to be sensitive when training this breed. The younger Field Spaniels are usually nervous and withdrawn, so it is advised to create a bond with these dogs first to overcome early training barriers.
Health problems
In general, the Field Spaniel is a healthy breed can endure a variety of health problems. The most familiar medical conditions to be worried about include hip dysplasia, ear infections and deafness.
