The versatility of the SWD is
truly amazing, they are at home both on land and in the water. In
the field they have the ability to hunt, point and retrieve and can be trained
to the gun, they have a tremendous learning ability, this combined with endless
stamina and desire to please makes learning a pleasure for them |
| |
Retrieving out of the water is
something that they excel at and any game that falls into the water after or during
the shoot, they will on command retrieve. Sunken objects will also be brought
to land, the SWD dives easily using his webbed feet to full effect, they have
been known to dive to depths of 1 - 6 metres. |

Agility & Obedience:The
SWD enjoys the challenge of both these activities. Training for these is not difficult,
as the dogs enjoy the exercise and stimulus it provides. The only problem with
agility is keeping pace with your dog. |
Search & Rescue:Although
not many are used for this purpose in the UK as yet, in Europe they are used for
assisting searches for survivors in earthquakes and other disaster areas.
