No, a Field Spaniel cannot be bred from an English Cocker Spaniel, as they are distinct breeds with different origins and characteristics. Field Spaniels are a separate breed developed for specific hunting and working traits, while English Cocker Spaniels were bred for different purposes, primarily as companion and hunting dogs. Breeding between the two would not produce a purebred Field Spaniel.

What was the Field Spaniel first bred for?
Originating in England in the 1800s the Field Spaniel used to be considered the same breed as the English Cocker Spaniel. The dog was used to flush and retrieve both fur and feather from land and water. In the 20th century it was decided that anything above 25 pounds would be considered a Field Spaniel and anything below would be an English Cocker Spaniel, and the two were officially separated into different breeds. During the 1800s the Field Spaniel was being bred with a greatly exaggerated length and weight. Almost a hundred years later in the 1920's the standard returned a moderate length and weight. Although it is a fine bird dog with a great, mild disposition, the breed remains rare to this day, most likely due to the extreme popularity of the Cocker Spaniel. The Field Spaniel was recognized by the AKC in 1894. Some of the Field Spaniel's talents are tracking, hunting, retrieving and watchdog.
