Chapter 1
Getting to know the Field Spaniel
Origins & history
A story told
All spaniels descend from continental spaniels; the Field Spaniel is the first spaniel breed intentionally created for conformation around 1850. The history of the breed tells that a Mr. Footman began by selecting the largest black cockers (the two breeds are only distinguished after 1880). Later, breeders made crosses with Sussex Spaniels, Irish Water Dogs, Norfolk Spaniels (extinct breed), and English Springer Spaniels.
Character
Daily temperament
The Field Spaniel is easy to train and is very close to its owners. It is calm, composed but knows how to be playful, particularly with children as long as there is mutual listening and supervision (for safety reasons). It is, however, fairly active and enjoys getting out. Apartment or house, it doesn't matter as long as it is exercised physically and mentally every day.
Physical
Breed standard
The Field Spaniel reaches an average withers height of 46 cm, and its weight is approximately 28 kg. It is fairly slender, compared to other spaniels, and is quite long. It has a powerful neck, as do its jaws, so it can carry game in its mouth easily.
