Field Spaniel:
The Field Spaniel is a moderately-sized spaniel, slightly heavier and longer in body than the Cocker. The silky coat is generally a solid color, either liver or black. Some dogs have tan markings, and some are roan (speckled). A little bit of white in the chest area is permitted. The legs, chest, ears, tail and undersides are abundantly feathered, but never curled. Its muzzle is regular, neither too wide nor too pointed. The nose is large, with very open nostrils. The almond-shaped eyes are either hazel or chestnut brown with a serious, gentle and noble expression. Below the eyes it is lean and thin (this is an important characteristic for show dogs). The neck is strong and muscular. The moderately long, broad, fringed ears are pendant and the tail is docked. The Field Spaniel has one of the best personalities of the Spaniels. It is very independent in nature, but mild mannered, sweet and affectionate It makes an excellent family member as long as it is given regular exercise. It is especially known for its docile nature. Socialize this breed well when the dog is still young to avoid excessive timidity and to prevent problems with other dogs later in life.
