How much does a Field Spaniel puppy cost?

Field Spaniel puppies cost $1,500 to $3,500 because breeding them responsibly is expensive and complicated. They’re ranked 149th in popularity, so supply is limited, but demand from dedicated owners keeps prices stable rather than low. Reputable breeders invest heavily in health testing—hips, eyes, thyroid—because the breed is prone to hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and hypothyroidism. A single OFA eye screening or hip evaluation can cost hundreds per dog, and ethical breeders test both parents, which adds up fast. They also face challenges in breeding; the Field Spaniel’s small gene pool increases the risk of inherited conditions, making careful pairing essential. This isn't a breed you can mass-produce. Puppies from untested parents or priced below $1,200 should raise red flags—those breeders are likely skipping crucial health clearances, increasing the odds you’ll face a $5,000 hip surgery or blindness diagnosis down the road. You’re not just paying for a puppy, you’re paying for years of health tracking, lower litter sizes, and a breeder who prioritizes longevity over profit. The higher upfront cost often saves you more in vet bills later.
