Cantabrian Water Dog History

Hence its name, the Cantabrian Water Dog originates from the coast of Cantabria, Spain. The history of the breed is intrinsically linked to that of the fishermen who worked in little fishing ports throughout Spain’s and the Iberian Peninsula’s coasts. The breed always provided all-around assistance to the fishermen. One of its closest genetic relatives that we know of, is the Spanish Water Dog, with whom they have a striking resemblance in appearance. However, the Cantabrian Water Dogs, on the other hand, are smaller and shorter than the Spanish Water Dogs.

The Cantabrian Water Dog’s appearance is responsible for its alternative moniker, the wool dog. There is something almost poodle-like about the wavy hair of this woolly breed. The breed is a medium-sized dog, which is sensibly proportioned with strong legs and a compact body. Their head is also well proportioned with a good length of muzzle. One of the distinguishing features of the Cantabrian is their coat. They come in a variety of colors, including cream, fawn, brown, white, and black, and white.

Furthermore, the Cantabrian was primarily a working dog, fulfilling a variety of tasks in and around the port and fishing vessels. One of their responsibilities, for example, was to retrieve fish that had spilled from the fishermen’s baskets. They were also said to be skilled at locating shoals of fish in shallow water and directing their masters where to cast their nets. Moreover, they were also ratters, which played a vital role in reducing the amount of vermin on board the ship. Other skills included catching the rope between the ship and the land to aid in tying up alongside. The Cantabrian’s usefulness, however, did not end there. They also acted as watchdogs, and sometimes acted as lifeguards, helping those fishermen who had fallen in the sea.

However, many of these roles had become unnecessary by the middle of the 20th century as modern technologies supplanted the Cantabrian, the population of the breed began to decline. Where they were once a common sight, keeping busy along the wharves and docks, now they are a rarity. Today they are mostly kept as pets. Indeed, in 2011, it was said that only 1200 dogs remain to present the breed. Currently, the breed is not recognized by any major kennel club.
