American Water Spaniel

 
The American Water Spaniel dog breed is the lifeguard of dog breeds. Not only are American Water Spaniels active and outdoors-y, muscular and strong despite their only medium size. They're bred for the water. Hunters have used these dogs to retrieve from small boats such as skiffs or canoes. They are also quite adept at hunting on land.
