1931

The old Field Spaniels were very long and very low - the longer they were the more highly they were valued, but breeders have successfully evolved a more rationally built dog, higher on the leg and shorter in body, and better able to carry out his natural avocation in the field. The beautifully formed head is characteristic of the breed. The coat is soft, thick, glossy and silky. Colours: black, liver, golden liver, mahogany red, red roan, blue roan and black and tan, with tan over the eyes, on the cheeks, feet and pasterns.
Height: 14 in.
Weight 45-55 lb.
