The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized dog breed of spaniel type. They were originally developed to be all-black show dogs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were unpopular for work as a hunting dog. However, during the mid-20th century they were redeveloped as a longer-legged dog that was more suitable to be used for field work. They are now considered to be a rare breed, and are registered as a Vulnerable Native Breed by The Kennel Club.
Originally developed in England for fieldwork and show purposes.
The Field Spaniel was initially developed as an all-black show dog but later adapted for fieldwork. Known for its gentle temperament and versatility, it is an excellent family companion and is adept at a range of activities including hunting and obedience trials. Despite their skills, Field Spaniels are considered a rare breed today.
