Summary
About American Hairless Terrier
Small, lively terrier available in hairless and coated forms, usually 25–46 cm and 5–12 kg. Very people-focused, indoor-oriented, and low-shedding, often suiting allergy-prone owners. Needs moderate daily exercise, mental stimulation, skin protection, and consistent, positive training.
About Field Spaniel
Medium, athletic gundog with a glossy, feathered coat and dark, expressive eyes. Calm yet enthusiastic, deeply attached to family and often sensitive. Needs kind, consistent training, regular exercise, and mental work. Still relatively rare, valued by dedicated enthusiasts.
