The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized breed dog of the spaniel type. Spaniels were first mentioned in the 14th century. By the 19th century, Spaniels were split into “water” or “field” types. By 1901, more types were defined with Field Spaniels only separated from Cocker Spaniels or Springer Spaniels by weight and colour. However, during the mid-20th century they were redeveloped as a longer-legged dog. They are currently considered to be a rare breed, and are registered as a Vulnerable Native Breed by The Kennel Club.

History
Spaniels were first mentioned in the 14th century by Gaston III of Foix-Béarn in his work the Livre de Chasse. By the 19th century the types of field or land spaniel were becoming more defined as separate from the water spaniels. Prior to 1901, Cocker Spaniels were only separated from Field Spaniels and Springer Spaniels by weight. At that time the Field Spaniel was defined as being greater than 25lbs and solid in colour, the others being classed as Springers. . Currently the Field Spaniel weighs 18 to 25 kgs. One of the handsomest and possibly most noble looking of all the Spaniel varieties, the Field Spaniel has had a chequered career since the breed evolved some 150 years ago. At several points over the years the breed has sunk very low in numbers, in this century three revivals have taken place, the last as late as the 1960s. . Confusion still can occur with working or field bred spaniels being confused with Field Spaniels

The old style Field Spaniels were unpopular with sportsmen as the dark colours of the breed did not show up in hunting conditions, and the elongated and short shape of the early breed was not very practical for moving easily through cover. The low-slung variety of Field Spaniel were developed by Phineas Bullock from dogs previously owned by Sir Francis Burdett, the secretary of the Birmingham Dog Show. Burdett was said to have owned a variety of black Cocker Spaniels. Bullock crossed the Field Spaniel with the Sussex Spaniel and the English Water Spaniel. In the 1870s he was very successful in the show ring with his variety of Field Spaniel; however, it resulted in a dog that was almost exactly like a Sussex Spaniel with the exception of the head itself.

The dog who is considered to be the father of the modern English Cocker Spaniel is Ch. Obo, who was born in 1879 to a Sussex Spaniel father and a Field Spaniel mother. Obo's son Ch. Obo II is considered to be the father of the modern American Cocker Spaniel, who was described as being only ten inches high with quite a long body.

By 1909, the average weight of a Field Spaniel was 35 - 45 lb. Further mixing of the breed occurred with elements of the Basset Hound introduced. Various genetic health issues arose and action was taken in order to correct the problems within the breed. English Springer Spaniels were used to introduce healthier elements into the breed and resulted in the longer legged spaniel that we know today. Most of the modern breed can be traced to four dogs from the 1950s; Colombina of Teffont, Elmbury Morwena of Rhiwlas, Gormac Teal, and Ronayne Regal.

The Field Spaniel remains a rare breed, even in the UK. In 2016, a total of 80 dogs were registered with The Kennel Club, encouragingly the largest number since recording began in 2000. This puts it now the 7th most vulnerable breed, instead of the 2nd as has been the case. This is compared to the English Springer Spaniel with 12,700 and the English Cocker Spaniel with 22,211 registrations in 2009 alone. In order to promote the breed, they have been registered as a Vulnerable Native Breed by The Kennel Club.

Appearance
The standard size for a Field Spaniel is 17 - 18 in tall at the withers, and a weight of between 40 - 55 lb. This places it roughly between the English Cocker Spaniel and the English Springer Spaniel in size. Its long, silky coat comes in solid colours of black, liver, or roan. Tan points, white markings on the throat and the chest can be ticked or the same colour as the rest of the body.

They have a moderately long single coat with no undercoat. Feathering of the fur appears on the chest, belly, ears and on the back of the legs. The coat is not as heavy as that of a Cocker Spaniel but will require grooming in order to prevent mats from appearing in the fur. Docked tails were often used in working dogs, as poor blood flow left healing of the non docked tail difficult.

Temperament
The Field Spaniel can be a good family dog while it has a job to do. Even the top show dogs are suitable for dog agility and hunting, but consistent training with a firm but gentle touch is needed due to their ability to quickly get bored and decide on a “better” thing to do instead. They can be very sensitive and any rough treatment or trying to force a behaviour will bring out their stubborn side. Fields have successfully been used for many purposes, from assistance dogs to trained cadaver search dogs, even able to sniff out a body under metres of water. However, they are patient with children, and like to stay close to their family, usually developing a very strong bond with one family member in particular. When socialised, they are good with other dogs. They are generally docile and independent, and are not as excitable as Cocker Spaniels. Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs lists the breed as being above average in working intelligence.

Health
There are a few ocular conditions to which the Field Spaniel has a predisposition. These include cataracts, retinal atrophy and retinal dysplasia. Hip dysplasia has appeared in British lines of Field Spaniels. In a health survey conducted by the Kennel Club (UK), the primary cause of death in Field Spaniels was cancer, with the second most frequent cause being old age. The median lifespan for the breed was found to be eleven years and eight months, which is five months higher than the median age for all dog breeds.

I intend to add eye testing, and heart testing, plus a full description of pastern dropping, prevention, and elbow testing. Kriswarry (talk) 07:40, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I now intend to update the article on pasterns to show that dogs have them! Kriswarry (talk) 07:46, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
