A guide for a healthy adult. Puppies, older dogs and flat-faced breeds in the heat need less.

Good to know

  • Flushing gundogs: bred to find, flush and retrieve game birds in dense cover, they enjoy long walks and retrieving games.
  • Sensitive souls: docile and affectionate, they respond best to patient, positive training and may shut down under harsh correction.
  • Need daily activity: they need regular exercise and something to think about, or they can get bored.
  • Feathered coat: the glossy coat with feathering on chest, legs and ears needs weekly brushing, a regular look in the ears, and some tidying of the feathering.

Getting out with a Field Spaniel

Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
