Although this web-footed dog may look similar to Portuguese water dogs, Poodles, or the Lagotto Romagnolo, it's a distinct breed. Canine experts believe that farmers developed the breed in Spain as an all-around pet and working companion for hunting, herding, and water work. The coat requires very little maintenance and no brushing, just a yearly all-over clip. For those seeking a larger-sized family dog, the Spanish water dog is a great choice. Breeders say its coat may occasionally lose a few hairs, but the breed doesn't shed.
