French Spaniels are medium-sized dogs. They typically weigh between 35 to 60 pounds (16 to 27 kg) and stand about 20 to 24 inches (51 to 61 cm) tall at the shoulder.

French Spaniels are known for their friendly, affectionate, and gentle disposition. They are good-natured dogs that are patient and loving with children, making them great family pets. They are intelligent and eager to please, which makes training relatively straightforward, although they can also be somewhat independent-minded.

The coat of the French Spaniel is medium-length, dense, and water-repellent, providing protection in various weather conditions. Their coat comes in a combination of white with various shades of brown or orange markings. Regular grooming helps maintain their coat’s health and reduces shedding.

French Spaniels thrive in active households and require regular exercise to keep them happy and healthy. They are social dogs that enjoy spending time with their families and require engagement in both mental and physical activities. They do well in homes with space to run, but they can also adapt to rural or suburban living environments.

These dogs excel in various activities, particularly those that involve their natural hunting instincts, such as tracking, field trials, and agility. They enjoy games like fetch and retrieval and benefit from daily walks, runs, and opportunities for play. Activities that engage their minds, such as scent work or obedience training, are also beneficial.
