Curly aquatic hound

A water spaniel is a spaniel bred for retrieving waterfowl, with a curly, water-resistant coat and webbed feet suited for swimming.

The two main breeds are the Irish water spaniel and the American water spaniel, both prized by hunters for their ability to work in marshes, lakes, and rivers.
