FIELD SPANIEL 
—This English dog 
as we know him to- 
day is of compara¬ 
tively recent origin. 
Originally a very 
long dog, low to the 
ground, he is now 
sound, straight and 
upright. His gen¬ 
eral appearance is 
that of an upstand¬ 
ing, well - balanced 
sporting dog, built for activity. About 18 inches in height, he weighs 
from 35 to 50 pounds. The coat is flat or slightly waved, never curly. 
The color should be black, liver, golden liver, mahogany red, roan, or 
any of these colors with tan on the cheeks, feet and pasterns.

SUSSEX SPANIEL —The Sussex is an excellent retriever when prop¬ 
erly trained, but is not as fast as the Cocker and Springer Spaniels. He 
is inclined to give tongue when hunting, but is very patient and deter¬ 
mined. The Sussex is rather 
massive and muscular, his 
whole conformation being 
that of a slow-moving dog. 
He weighs from 35 to 45 
pounds and should be a rich 
golden liver in color, with a 
body coat that is abundant, 
flat, or slightly wavy, but 
not curly.
