A Field Spaniel type of dog was first recorded in the early 19th century.
Early litters of these types contained both Field and Cocker spaniels. Once the Field Spaniel was recognised as a separate breed it was selectively bred with disastrous results.
It was unable to work as well in the field as it had been. By the end of World War II they were very rare and their championship status was withdrawn.
However, breeders managed to restore this breed, for the field and show ring, by introducing Springer Spaniels and English Cockers into the breed lines. This resulted in the Field Spaniel increasing in numbers and championship status was restored in 1969.
This dog is naturally intelligent making it quick to learn. They need consistent training due to their independent and stubborn streaks. As they are quite sensitive they will react to your voice so care must be taken, as harsh words in a strong manner will disturb this dog. |
