Origin The Field Spaniel is descended though careful breeding of the English Cocker Spaniel . The Field Spaniel's country of origin is England. The breed was almost ruined by poor selection practices during the last 1800's, when breeders greatly exaggerated the dog's length and weight. In spite of this the breed has remained rare to this day. The Field Spaniel is a fine bird dog, with a very mild disposition.
