first appeared in the United States in the 19th century. Its ancestors were English and Irish Water Spaniels, Golden Retriever, and Poodle. Only a century later, in 1920, Dr. Pfeifer made the first announcement about creating a new breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whit Boykin was actively involved in the selection and development of the American spaniel. That is why the breed is also called by his name \u2013 Boykin Spaniel. The American Kennel Club officially recognized the spaniel only in 1940. Ten years earlier, a club of breed lovers headed by J. Schofield appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The American Water Spaniel is a strong and muscular dog with a slightly extended body. The pet\u2019s chest is broad and deep. The back is straight, with well-developed musculature. The neck is muscular and high up. The head is wide and well-proportioned. There is a pronounced transition from the forehead to the square muzzle of the dog. The nose lobe is brown or black. The eyes are small, brown.
