The Spanish Water Dog is a medium-sized, agile and affectionate breed known for its intelligence, versatility and energetic, loyal nature; traditionally used for herding and water work, they’re curious, trainable and form strong bonds with families. They need regular vigorous exercise and mental stimulation, enjoy swimming and play, and suit active owners who can provide consistent training. Considerations before buying or adopting include making time for daily activity, managing their distinctive curly or corded coat with routine grooming and clipping, and ensuring access to secure outdoor space or long walks.
