The Spanish Water Dog is an ancient and rustic
multi-purpose dog from the Iberian Peninsula. Primarily used as a herding
dog for a variety of livestock (goats, sheep, cattle, turkeys, pigs), the SWD was also used for hunting and some
work as a fisherman's assistant.
The Spanish Water Dog's coat is single (what some
people call "shedless") and always curly. Coat colors range from solid
black, brown, beige or white to a variety of white patterns with one of
the above colors. The coat is traditionally not brushed and will cord if
allowed.
The SWD has a true herding-dog temperament:
devoted, alert, wary of strangers. It is an excellent companion and does
best in a home that provides it a job. |
