  • Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally Active and Alert, Sporting Dogs Make Likeable, Well-Rounded Companions
    Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise. The breeds of the AKC Sporting Group were all developed to assist hunters of feathered game. These “sporting dogs” (also referred to as gundogs or bird dogs) are subdivided by function—that is, how they hunt. They are spaniels, pointers, setters, retrievers, and the European utility breeds. Of these, spaniels are generally considered the oldest. Early authorities divided the spaniels not by breed but by type: either water spaniels or land spaniels. The land spaniels came to be subdivided by size. The larger types were the “springing spaniel” and the “field spaniel,” and the smaller, which specialized on flushing woodcock, was known as a “cocking spaniel.” ~~How many breeds are in this group? 31~~ 1. American Water Spaniel a. Country of origin: USA (lake country of the upper Midwest) b. Original purpose: retrieve from skiff or canoes and work ground c. Other Names: N/A d. Very Brief History: European immigrants who settled near the great lakes depended on the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance. The Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly-Coated Retriever, and the now extinct English Water Spaniel have been mentioned in histories as possible component breeds. e. Coat color/type: solid liver, brown or dark chocolate. A little white on toes and chest is permissible.

  • Irish Water Spaniel
    YOU BE THE JUDGE By Robert Cole From Dogs in Canada, May 2005 THE IRISH WATER SPANIEL HISTORY According to Harry Glover, author of The Standard Guide to Pure- Bred Dogs, there’s little doubt that the Irish Water Spaniel owes its origins to the European Water Dog (Figure 1), which he informs us was also an ancestor of the Poodle. This woodcut is from the 4,000-page Icons Animatium produced by Conrad Gessner over the period 1551-57. For the book General History of Quadrupeds, Thomas Bewick (1752-1828) produced a woodcut of the Large Rough Water Dog (Figure 2), which is closer in appearance to today’s Irish Water Spaniel than Conrad Gessner’s woodcut. This woodcut also resembles the Otterhound, a breed said to be an IWS ancestor (in addition to the Portuguese Water Dog and a setter or two). The Irish standard (FCI) informs us that the exact origins of the breed remain obscure. Generally it is thought that water spaniels evolved from dogs that originated in Persia and came to Ireland via Spain. The first Irish reference to water dogs that pursue waterfowl dates from 1600, so we know that dogs with waterproof coats were used in Ireland even before the advent of the flowing piece. There is no real evidence of the ancestry of the Irish Water Spaniel except in its most peculiar feature, the rat tail. This feature appears in no similar dog and makes it very likely that the modern breed had an indigenous Irish ancestor. The tail has given rise to the names “Whit Tail” and “Rat Tail”.

  • The American Water Spaniel: Yankee Doodle Dandy
    The American Water Spaniel: Yankee Doodle Dandy James B. Spencer HUP! Training Flushing Spaniels The American Way he American Water Spaniel (AWS) is as American as George M. Cohan, and just as capable of “doing it all” in his particular line of work. T A marvelous little all-weather ducker, the AWS can also bust the nastiest cover in the uplands to flush and retrieve birds for the boss. The dog’s small size and placid temperament make him ideal in a duck skiff, where he can slip into and out of the water without upsetting or soaking the skipper. His methodical thoroughness in the uplands makes him a delightful companion for the gunner over thirty-five years of age. Developed in the last century in the Great Lakes region, and now the state dog of Wisconsin, this native breed possesses so many talents that the national breed club, American Water Spaniel Club (AWSC), has struggled for years trying to decide whether to seek AKC classification as a retriever or as a flushing spaniel. The breed must be classified as one or the other before it can participate in AKC Field Trials and hunting tests. The breed needs the exposure these activities, especially the AKC hunting tests, would give it among dog-loving hunters. Trouble is, the AWSC membership is badly split – four ways. Some members favor classification as a spaniel. Some favor classification as a retriever. Others fearing that either would eventually damage the breed’s dual abilities, have until very recently held out for dual classification. Still others prefer no classification at all.
