Book excerpt: The American Water Spaniel (often abbreviated to AWS), is a breed of Spaniel that originates from the United States of America. The breed was developed in the state of Wisconsin during the 19th century by cross breeding the Irish and English Water Spaniels. Despite being the state dog of Wisconsin, they are actually a relatively rare breed of dog - there are thought to only be around 3,000 in existence! The American Water Spaniel is a medium-sized dog that has a double layered coat. The breed coat comes in a wide variety of colorations that are based in browns. The breed is an excellent and versatile hunting dog that performs well on land and in water. The breeds double layered coat is also water resistant, which allows the American Water Spaniel to hunt throughout the year.
