Introduction

The Spanish Water Dog is a medium to large sized breed that can reach up to 90 pounds fully grown (male). As can be assumed from their name, this breed was designed specifically to help fisherman as a water retriever. On top of this, the Spanish Water Dog was used on farms to help with herding livestock and providing protection to their owners. Not much more than these basic details is known about the dogs and even their specific origin is just a guess at best. It is believed that the breed descended from an African breed and may be similar to the European Portuguese Water Dog. The most unique trademark of this interesting breed is definitely their fur which is extremely curly and long, often falling down over their eyes. This fur is important for helping the Spanish Water Dog adapt to the ever-changing climates of the Iberian Peninsula (where they are originally from) as it tends to be a mix of both humid and dry at times. Personality wise, the breed is extremely hard working and enjoys learning through positive reinforcement. This makes the Spanish Water Dog an excellent breed for those who want a reliable working dog on top of an excellent companion.
