Field spaniels.

[Totsy]

Anyone any experience with them? I've never seen a working field spaniel.

[Stonepark]

I have seen them working, almost bought a pup but ended up getting another springer, slower than a springer but helps them being steadier.

 

Good hunting/picking up dogs, would suit a stand one/drive one syndicate.

If you want a slower spaniel then working Clumbers seem to be coming quite fashionable. The minor breed clubs put on quite a few good events throughout the year by all accounts.

I know someone who has field spaniels, but I've never known any actually work in the field.

 

Personally, I'd look more in the 'working cocker' direction.

Climber spaniel if definitely a good option

You are based in a good area to find one as you can't be that long a drive from someone that has one to look at.

I got mine from Alan gywinne (windmillwood gundogs)

I seen one other week 1st time I had seen one..it was 10 yrs old and looked like a pup was a lovely looking dog ;-)

All working spaniels are "field" spaniels, but all field spaniels are definitely not working spaniels. Would like to see some photos from williamr's son's pair.

 

Also from archi's working clumber - any to share?

 

Another tough find is a working Sussex but when they work, they Work with a capital "W".

 

 

even going into their 14th year of Working.

Do Sussex spaniels come in multi coloured eg liver and white as this might be the same as a spaniel we use to have but we where miss lead to its breed being told he was a Cumberland Rough. Is a Sussex slightly smaller than a English springer and a lighter build ours could retrieve most game but had to drag a hare very hard working dog best we ever had.
