A balanced British flushing spaniel: unusually docile at home, yet vigorous, persevering, and game for activity.
The AKC describes the Field Spaniel as sweet, fun-loving, sensitive, docile, playful, and independently interesting. It shares ancestry and resemblance with Cocker, Springer, and Sussex spaniels but is a separate breed.
The modern standard calls for balanced moderate proportions, correcting an earlier period when exaggeration produced excessively long, low dogs. Long feathered ears and a grave gentle expression frame the head.
Glossy black, liver, golden liver, roan, tan-pointed, and limited white combinations create a rich color palette. Names should fit both the tranquil house dog and the energetic sporting companion.
