The Spanish Water Dog represents a cuddly companion that sometimes works as a hunting dog and is skilled at retrieving from the sea. They are described as cheerful, energetic, playful, and hardworking. These dogs are so wary of strangers that they might growl, snarl, or even lunge, despite being devoted to their owner. The American Kennel Club says early socialization is essential for water dogs. Training must be done with love and patience for the best results.
