Before starting, this dog has a very shaggy appearance.

A #10F blade is used on the top of the head, going with the grain.  For some Field Spaniels, depending on the type of coat, a clipper is not used on the head and only a stipping blade and thinning shear is used to neaten the hair.

Clipping with the 10F blade continues down the cheeks on the foreface.  Again, depending on the type of coat, a thinning shear and stripping blade may be used instead.

Tops of the ears are trimmed as well.  Use a 10F blade going with the lay of the hair on the ears; you will clip about 1/3 of the way down the ear.

The lips are shaved or trimmed very close.
