Dog Breeds - American Water Spaniel |
 |
The American Water Spaniel was developed in the mid 1800’s as a small hunting dog bred to be good in the water, on the marsh and land. Thought it is not definite, it is believed that this breed originated in Wisconsin and is their state dog. The true origins of this dog breed are not known but it is thought that the breed is a cross of a Field Spaniel, curly coated retriever and the now extinct English Water Spaniel. They are talented hunters and are used to hunt quail, duck, pheasant, rabbit, grouse and even fish! They are named American Water Spaniels because they are avid swimmers. This friendly and energetic breed has a strong eagerness to learn, and is obedient towards its owner. Though they do show friendliness to strangers they can be very protective when it comes to its owner making them fairly good watchdogs. The American Water Spaniel is a relatively rare breed, and is one of the few breeds known to be developed in the USA.

Pethealth has been fantastic. When Tasha was diagnosed with cancer, it gave me the ability to have her treated with much less concern over the finances. It allows for a much less selfish decision and allowed me to do the right thing for her without thinking about the money. Thank you for the quick way you handled it too. At a time of stress, you made that easy. She lived over a year after her diagnosis and almost all of that was with high life quality thanks to your help. Whoever says pet insurance is not worth it has a lot to learn about Pethealth and 24Petwatch Pet Insurance.
