Spanish Water Dog puppies for sale in Northwest Territories

Breed history

The Spanish Water Dog is an ancient breed originating in Spain, where it was developed as a versatile working dog for farmers, shepherds, and fishermen. Used extensively for herding sheep and goats, retrieving from water, and guarding rural property, the breed was valued for intelligence, adaptability, and endurance. For centuries, these dogs worked in relative isolation, which helped preserve their functional traits and strong work ethic. Today, the Spanish Water Dog continues to excel in herding, obedience, agility, and active companion roles while retaining its traditional working abilities.
