Field Spaniels!



Field Spaniels are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:

#1. "The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized dog."
#2. "The large nose is light brown to dark brown to black, depending on the coat color of the dog."
#3. "The medium-sized eyes are almond in shape, dark hazel to brown in color."
#4. "The medium length ears are set slightly below the eyes, are wide hanging close to the head with lots of feathering."
#5. "The neck is strong and muscular."
#6. "The tail is set low and is either docked or left natural."
#7. "The single-layer coat is flat or slightly wavy and is of medium length with feathering on the chest, underside, back of the legs, buttocks, and may be on the second thigh and bottom of the tail. Coat colors come in black, and various shades of liver, with or without tan markings or roan (speckles). There may be a little white on the chest."
#8. "Field Spaniels are active, robust, hunting dogs that have very pleasing temperaments."
#9. "They are very independent in nature, but easy-going, charming, affectionate, intelligent and playful."
#10. "They make an excellent family member as long as they are given regular exercise and leadership."
#11. "They are especially known for their docile nature."
#12. "Socialize this breed well and be its strong, calm, confident pack leader to avoid timidity, reserved with strangers, and problems with other dogs."
#13. "Very friendly, this breed loves everyone."
#14. "Field Spaniels like to roam."
#15. "They are good with other dogs, animals and excellent with children, but tend not to like super rough play."
#16. "Field Spaniels are happiest when they have a job to do."
#17. "They are quick to learn and react very strongly to your voice."
#18. "They should be trained with a kind but consistent manner."
#19. "This dog has a sensitive nature and harsh words and a tough approach will greatly disturb it."
#20. "These dogs need regular contact with people and become extremely neurotic if locked away in a kennel."
#21. "Height: Average- 18 inches (46 cm.)"
#22. "Weight: 35-50 pounds (16-22.5 kg.)"
#23. "The Field Spaniel is not recommended for apartment life. They are moderately active indoors and do best with at least a large yard. Because these dogs do have deeply rooted hunting instincts, it is essential to have a good fence surrounding your property, as otherwise they are likely to take off after any interesting scent. Do not lock this breed away in a kennel or it will become extremely neurotic. This breed prefers cool climates."
#24. "Life Expectancy: About 10-12 years."
