The Spanish Water Dog is 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 may growl, snarl, or even lunge, despite being devoted to their owner. The American Kennel Club emphasizes that early socialization is crucial for water dogs. Training must be approached with love and patience for the best outcomes.
