🏞 History
The Field Spaniel is descended from the "Field Spaniels", a category of hunting dogs developed in the late 19th century. Created through crosses between Sussex Spaniels and Cocker Spaniels, this dog was designed to excel in hunting activities. However, the breed has experienced ups and downs, nearly going extinct in the early 20th century, and again after World War II. Fortunately, passionate breeders have allowed the Field Spaniel to regain its place among spaniel breeds.
