Evolution of Field Spaniels
Written by: Kylie Jo Hirschy-Seivert
October 22, 2010
The Field Spaniel, as a distinct breed, evolved from other existing breeds to develop into the all around show, companion, and hunting dog that is known today. The heritage of the Field Spaniels includes a variety of canines including the Cocker Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, Norfolk Spaniel, English Springer Spaniel, and even Basset Hounds. While all domesticated dogs originated from the wolf, the spaniel breeds share a similar initial evolution. The Field Spaniel developed from a variety of other breeds and characteristics of those breeds may still be seen today.
Thank you Carole Kaye for your expertise in Field Spaniel Breed History and assisting Kylie with this project on the Evolution of Field Spaniels.

Along the way, he also campaigned that same dog to the top spot in the breed several years in a row. Other former top juniors currently show top Field Spaniels including Rachal McKee Sager, Danielle Brewer and Howard Huber III.
