GOOD-NATURED.
"She hath more qualities than a Water Spaniel, which is much in a bare
christian," writes Shakespeare in the Two Gentlemen of Verona, proving
the high reputation of Water Spaniels down the ages. Although mainly used
for sporting purposes, they make wonderful companions for you and old, being
docile, good-natured and reliable, as well as intelligent.
