Caring for a American Water Spaniel

Health

A generally healthy breed; hip dysplasia and some eye conditions can occur, worth screening for through a reputable breeder given the small gene pool.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's active, outdoorsy lifestyle.

Grooming

The curly, waterproof double coat needs regular brushing to prevent matting.

Training

Active and needs a genuine daily outlet — this breed can become destructive without enough exercise, and early socialization helps offset natural wariness around strangers.

About the breed

Developed in 19th-century Wisconsin along the Fox River, likely from Irish and English Water Spaniel stock, to retrieve waterfowl from small boats — the state dog of Wisconsin, though it remains a genuinely rare breed today.

Compact and muscular with a waterproof curly coat and webbed feet, this breed is happy, eager, and outdoorsy, though reserved with strangers and a bit stubborn.
