Verified Reviews for Field Spaniel

Good friendly dog can be shy with humans, NOT hyper - Kay, 1 February 2026

I’ve had my male Field for two years now. He is very loving and affectionate and silly. He does need daily play sessions and walks but he is definitely not high strung. He does have a good recall as I have worked with him on this quite a bit. My particular boy loves to shred and eat stuffed toys so he absolutely cannot have toys that aren’t made for strong chewers. When he was a puppy he would be very greedy and yes, steal food right out of your hand…you need to teach them that it is not acceptable straight out of the gate, and it can be done. He is such a sweet and happy dog but he is shy around strangers even though I’ve been working on him with this ever since I brought him home at 9 weeks of age. He absolutely loves other dogs! He is very strong though, as strong as my female German Shepherd was, so early leash walking manners are a must. I have not yet had any health issues with him other than a sensitive stomach…they can have allergies as my dog cannot have chicken. I am in the U.S. and the breeders here are all usually pretty good about testing their breeding stock for inherited issues and being very selective in their breeding but still do your due diligence in selecting a breeder you can work with. My boy has a lifetime guarantee against hereditary diseases. He is a joy to own and I love him to pieces but note that these dogs can be a bit willfull. My boy likes doing FastCat so far as well as nosework and these dogs are great at doing a good variety of activities. The don’t need an hour of exercise a day I would say a half hour to 45 minutes but mine loves to play ball even in the house and can get enough activity inside the house on rainy, snowy or extreme temperature days but they love running outside.
