About the Spanish Water Dog
The Spanish Water Dog, known in its native country as Perro de Agua Español, is an ancient and highly versatile working breed originating from the Iberian Peninsula. For centuries, it served as both a waterfowl retriever and a herding dog, particularly in southern Spain, assisting with livestock movements and working alongside hunters and fishermen. Its remarkable naturally corded coat provides protection in diverse environments, while its webbed feet make it an efficient swimmer. Though its traditional duties have largely been replaced, this intelligent and energetic dog thrives when given a clear purpose, making it an engaging companion for active owners today.
