The American Water Spaniel is a
gundog breed little known outside North America.
Weighing 25 to 45 pounds (11-20 kg) and standing 15 to 18
inches (36-46 cm) in height, he has a closely curled, dense
coat well-suited to resist weather and water. His subdued
liver or dark chocolate colouring provides natural
camouflage helpful in hunting waterfowl, his primary
purpose. A competent
retriever, he can hunt small game as well. He has the
usual friendly, intelligent, and obliging
spaniel character.
