Field Spaniel
Field Spaniel, breed of sporting dog, with a dense coat of flat or slightly waved silky hair, usually black and sometimes roan or mahogany. The animal has medium-size brown, dark hazel, or nearly black eyes; a very long muzzle that ensures great power of scent; fairly long and wide ears; a long, muscular neck; a deep chest; strong and muscular back and loins; and a fringed tail kept low when the dog is in action. The field spaniel is about 46 cm (about 18 in) high at the shoulder and weighs about 16 to 23 kg (about 35 to 50 lb). A docile companion, this dog is well suited for endurance in the hunt.
