American Water Dog Breeds
The development of the American breeds is a classic case of “American ingenuity” – a particular genius for adapting Old World materials to solve New World problems. An obvious example would be how American settlers utilised European breeds in the creation of the “coonhounds” who helped propel the nation’s westward expansion by supplying a steady source of meat and fur
Another good example of American ingenuity is the development of the American Water Dogs to harvest the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance.
Versatile hunting dogs, these breeds thrive on human companionship, with a strong desire to be part of their person’s activities. They are intelligent and versatile, take well to training, and especially excel at training that offers some variety.
