Water Spaniels seem to be a controversial subject (especially among breeders)
originally bred as a hunting or Gun Dog, it excels at retrieving game and fish from (strangely enough) watery locations like ponds,meres and lakes.

The Water Spaniel is a little smaller but very strong willed and may need a firm hand in training. It will defer to the Alpha male but may be more difficult with children when they grow into their teens.That is usually only a problem with females when they are on heat. Otherwise they are very protective of their family and will regard children as siblings.
Having said that the Water Spaniel is a friendly,intelligent and loyal dog.
