My favourite thing about Bradley is...

His sensitivity to emotions and unwavering attachment deepen the bond you share, making him a unique and cherished companion.

The biggest challenge with Bradley is...

One of the quirkiest challenges with Bradley is his secret mission to liberate my slippers and engage in a playful game of "catch me if you can!"

The most surprising thing about owning a Spanish Water Dog is...

The most surprising thing about owning a Spanish Water Dog is their extraordinary combination of intelligence, adaptability, and boundless affection. These dogs seamlessly transition from being playful adventurers to loving comforters, and their versatility in various activities is truly remarkable.

What I wish I’d known about Spanish Water Dogs is...

What I wish I'd known about Spanish Water Dogs is their dual need for physical and mental stimulation due to their active nature. Their corded and coat requires regular grooming. Be prepared for a strong emotional bond and velcro-like attachment, and reciprocate the love and care they offer. Active lifestyles and grooming dedication are essential for potential owners.

Did you know?

Although the Spanish Water Dog has existed as a type of working dog in rural Spain for some time, as breed they have only been internationally recognised very recently. Efforts to establish them as a pedigree breed began in the 1970s, and the Spanish Kennel Club accepted them in the mid-1980s.
