American Water Spaniel

The American Water Spaniel matures rather slowly and only after reaching the age of two is it able to accept the training program. However, it must be strongly socialized from a very early age. Dogs of this breed have a delicate disposition and do not respond to harsh or overbearing training methods. If you intimidate them, they will just start biting with fear. Therefore, it is important that training is conducted with sufficient patience, love, respect for the dog, consistency and fairness. Weight: 11 - 20 kg. Height at withers: 38 - 46 cm.
