Description
This energetic, lovable, mild
dog makes a good family pet. They do well with children and other pets
and dogs although they might have trouble if you have birds or small animals
as pets because of their breeding purposes. Early socialization is recommended.
They do best with well behaved children. They love to work and need regular
exercise and play. They do not do well if they are cooped up all day in
the house. They enjoy companionship and don't like to be bored. Field
Spaniels have a docile nature and can become withdrawn or shy if they
are around too much noise or rambunctious behavior. They make excellent
hunting companions as well.
Health

eye problems and problems with hip displaysia and hypothyroidism.
