The Spaniel Club is the “Parent’ Spaniel Club of the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1885 and registered at The Kennel Club on 2nd June 1891. Our objective is to promote the ise of different varieties of spaniel used for sporting purposes.
For over one hundred years Field Trials have evolved as a means of assessing the working abilities of gundogs, with the objective, through breeding policies, of improving the quality of the working stock for the shooting man. Field Trials continue to be run as closely as possible to an ordinary day’s walked up shoot.
