Spanish Water Dog Breed

Spanish Water Dog are inexhaustible workers. Their naturally curly and wooly coat, when grown out, will often form tight, tapered cords. In full coat, the facial hair covers the expressive brown eyes. Colors can be black, brown, beige, white, or particolor (black, brown, beige, with white). “Rustic” is the word often used to describe the overall look of this sturdy dog of medium size.
