Breed History

Developed in the 19th century in the Fox and Wolf River valleys of Wisconsin as a compact, versatile hunter that could work from a skiff or boat. Ancestry likely includes Irish Water Spaniel and Curly-Coated Retriever. Named the state dog of Wisconsin in 1985 and foundation breed for the Boykin Spaniel, recognized by AKC in 1940.
