American Water Spaniel
Sporting Breed
Purebred American Water Spaniel from Chris Eckert
The American Water Spaniel is a “Born In America” dog with an eager and friendly personality that fits family and hunting needs. As a hunting dog they retrieve both in water and upland as well as flushing game. They are good with children but may snap if treated harshly. Socialization as a puppy is a plus, and they are fine with other pets. Bathe only when absolutely necessary to maintain the natural oils in the coat.

We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue — be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
