Puppy update...
The AWS was developed as an all-around hunting dog. In other words it was
developed to hunt both upland game (pheasant, rabbit, grouse, etc.) and
waterfowl. It is not simply a retriever nor is it only a flushing dog. We strive to continue in that tradition and we love to see
our pups succeed in the field. Recently, Les Morris sent us this picture
of his ten month old pup Tug (Marshland Gunner of Swan Lake x
Little Brownies Violet Flame) bringing in a nice duck. Obviously both Les
and Tug have what it takes to succeed. Good job boys!!
Okay,
so at seven years of age (he just had a birthday) Pat is no puppy but we
liked this picture so much we just had to include it on our site. This
is Pat, owned by Blair and Lucy Webster. This picture was taken as Pat
watched the sky and field for signs of geese. Pat's intensity for the
hunt shows through in this great picture.

information to be found. This book, firest released in 2007 was written by Paul Morrison

of friends within the AWS community; especially that of Linda Ford (California
American Water Spaniels). If you are interested in learning a little history on
the AWS and to know some of the peculiarities of the breed, be sure to pick up a
copy of the book through your local retailer, online at either
