Health Issues: Due to the small number of Field Spaniels very little is known about any health issues of the breed. They are however prone to hip dysplasia and due to their long pendant ears, can suffer from ear infections. They can also get entropion, where the eyelids turn in, which can cause the eye lashes to irritate the eye, and ectropion, often simply called 'loose lids', this is where the eyelids are too loose which provides a space for dirt and dust to collect causing frequent or continues eye infections.

Grooming. A Field Spaniel needs regular brushing around once or twice a week; the ears should also be checked and cleaned regularly to help prevent problems. Field Spaniel show dogs require more grooming than working, or pet, dogs. However both need to be trimmed on a regular basis and be plucked to remove dead and loose fur. This will help them maintain a healthy coat.

Living Conditions. Because of the fact that the Field Spaniel is a working dog they need plenty of regular exercise, so would do best with either an active family or a large garden that it can run around in, and explore. An independent dog, but still enjoys the company of humans. They can become neurotic if kept locked in a kennel. They are very playful and love to have somewhere they can roam. They can be sensitive to negativity such as harsh words or a tough approach so it's important to use a kind and consistent manner with them.
