Have you Ever Seen a Spanish Water Dog?

http://www.eporti.com We came across two dogs on our walk in Sausalito with our Portuguese Water Dog Goji in Sausalito. They were Spanish Water Dogs. We had never seen nor heard of this breed before. Smaller than a Porti, but the same high energy. They have a docked tail. Their boatbuilder-owner is breeding them now.

@SAACAAS portugal never was spanish, the king was shared but the country was independent...

Portugal was Spainish since 1581. Felipe I de Portugal (Felipe II of Spain)...España y portugal siempre han estado unidas en su historia y no tenemos ninguna frontera geografica como pasa con Francia (Pirineos). El portugues procede de la misma raiz que el Gallego y son un pueblo comun. Y los Lusitanos no son solo Portugueses, ya que Lusitania era una region que ocupaba tambien Extremadura...

@Lusitanus The real name of Spanish and Portuguese Water dog is "Turco Andaluz" (Andalusia, Spain). Brought by the Arabs, and descendant of poodle...

i met my first Barbet yesterday. great dog! this seems to have sent me on a search about the water dogs of europe. that's how i've come across this nice video. sorry to see so many angry argumentative posts here! for me, i've really liked and admired all the water dogs i've met. clearly they all share a lineage, i hope we can all agree on that?

IBERIAN stock of water dogs that over centuries evolved into separate lineages - one from Portugal the other from Spain. There is some speculate other European water dog types (Poodles, French Barbet, Italian Lagotto) originally came from the Iberian stock, but I would like to see evidence of this..
