The Spanish Water Dog is a versatile and agile breed originally bred for herding and water-related tasks in Spain. They have a curly, wooly coat that is often naturally corded when long, and they come in various solid colors including white, black, brown, and beige. Known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong herding instincts, Spanish Water Dogs are both diligent working dogs and affectionate family pets. They thrive on mental and physical stimulation, requiring active lifestyles and early socialization to coexist well with other animals and children. Their protective nature also makes them excellent watchdogs.
