Spanish Waterdog

Personality

This breed is highly intelligent, eager to please, and forms strong bonds with its family. They are energetic, alert, and can be reserved with strangers, making them excellent watchdogs.

Exercise Needs

Requires substantial daily physical and mental exercise. They excel at dog sports like agility, obedience, and of course, swimming. Without adequate activity, they can become bored and destructive.

Grooming & Care

Their unique curly coat requires regular brushing to prevent matting and professional clipping every few months. They are not heavy shedders but need consistent grooming. A high-quality diet suited to their activity level is recommended.

Family Suitability

Health Considerations

Generally healthy, but potential issues include hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and allergies. Responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups are important.
