Since the 18th century, the American Water Spaniel has been an all-around farm and hunting dog. The exact knowledge regarding the origin of this breed does not exist, but it was developed in the United States around Wisconsin and Minnesota, primarily in the Great Lakes area. The breeds ancestors include both theIrish Water Spaniel and Curly-Coated Retriever. They were the first breed developed in the United States that could retrieve from boats and also hunt. The breed was recognized by the AKC in 1940 and most likely would have been sooner if it were not for breed enthusiasts who were afraid it would ruin the breed's reputation as an excellent hunter. The AWSs have a gentle mouth and a fine nose making them excel as an outstanding bird dog in the woods, swamps, lakes, and rivers. The breed can point out squirrels in trees by barking and works well both flushing game and retrieving. An excellent swimmer he uses his tail as a rudder, swimming well even in turbulent waters. The AWS is considered a rare breed. Only about 270 were registered with the AKC in 1990, but it is believed that there were more born to hunting lines who were not registered, not to mention those who were registered with other clubs besides the American Kennel Club. They are the state dog of Wisconsin.
