Information on Field Spaniel Dogs and Puppies

The Field Spaniel is a very friendly and lovable dog. She is very active and makes a great family pet. She really requires a properly fenced enclosure to exercise. He is very intelligent and learns new tasks quickly. He generally gets along very well with children and other pets.

Approximate adult size

The approximate adult size (two years or older) of the male Field Spaniel is approximately 18 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and the female is approximately 17 inches to the withers. Average weight is 35 to 40 pounds, with males being the heaviest.

Special health considerations

Most dog breeds have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Field Spaniel is no exception. Be on the lookout for canine hip dysplasia (genetically based loosening in the hip joint that can lead to arthritis pain and lameness), hypothyroidism (sluggish thyroid gland that can lead to weight gain), and ear infections. This list of diseases is only an informational guide. Other diseases can also be major threats, contact your vet for a complete list.

You should visit the vet several times during the first year for vaccinations, boosters, and checkups. Then, as an adult, you should visit the vet annually for vaccinations and checkups. As he gets older, ages six and up, he should visit the vet twice a year for checkups and vaccinations. Remember; Avoid feeding your dog candy.

Cleanliness

The Field Spaniel has a moderately long, wavy or flat, thick coat that repels water. She should be groomed once or twice a week and should visit a professional hairdresser every two months or so.

Your ears should be checked once a week and kept clean. If you have it professionally fixed, make sure cleaning and ear inspection are part of the package. No water or excess fluid should get into the dog’s ears and do not attempt to irrigate them. Ear cleaning is too complicated and critical to instruct here. Look for hair in the ear canal, excess wax, or moisture. If his ears have a discharge, a bad odor, or he seems distressed and you suspect he has an infection or tumor, see your vet.

Their teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and a toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes plaque and tartar buildup that can cause tooth decay (rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, bad breath, and other serious illnesses.

Toenails may need to be examined to see if they are growing and to be trimmed regularly. The back toenails grow more slowly than the front toenails. Generally, a guillotine trimmer is best for this task and competent instructions to accomplish this can be found on the web.

Life expectancy

The Field Spaniel can live for 10-12 years with proper nutrition, medical care, and excellent living conditions.
