The Cantabrian Water Dog, or Perro de Agua Cantábrico, is an ancient breed native to the coastal region of Cantabria in northern Spain, with a history closely tied to the fishing communities along the Bay of Biscay. It is an energetic, intelligent, and trainable dog known for its strong swimming ability, versatility, and loyal disposition toward its handlers. The breed was traditionally used by fishermen to retrieve nets, herd fish into nets, and retrieve items from the water, as well as to assist with waterfowl hunting.
