Tweed Water Spaniel History

Where does the Tweed Water Spaniel come from?

The Tweed Water Spaniel finds its origins in Scotland, in the early 19th century.

 

Which dogs are descendants of the Tweed Water Spaniel?

The breed is thought to be originated from other water dogs from around the same area of the Berwick sea in Scotland. Initially, the native Scottish people mixed different water dogs.

Later, the descendants of these early dogs were considered to be cross-bred with the Newfoundland Dog and with the Saint John’s Water Dog.

 

First notes, origin

The first written document was made by Richard Lawrence, in 1816, about the Tweed Water Spaniel, where he wrote about the origins of the breed.

Later, the tale of the Tweed Water Spaniel’s existence was recorded in a document written by Stanley O’Neil in the late 19th century.

Stanley O’Neil was a knowledgeable and respected retriever breeder and author back in the day, and he stated that his first encounter with the breed happened while Scottish fishermen were netting for Salmon fish.

The dogs helped them bring the larger nets to the shore.

 

Appearance, history of breed change

Mr. O’Neil described the Tweed Water Spaniel as a curly and brown-coated dog, resembling more of a retriever than a spaniel.

According to some sources, the Tweed Water Spaniel is simply the original, more traditional, and the earlier version of today’s known Golden Retriever, nevertheless this theory was proven to be false.

The reason is that the full breeding procedure of the Golden Retriever was carefully planned and therefore documented.

The original Tweed Water Spaniel’s coat was black or brown in the breed’s early days, but towards the end of the 19th century, some specimens started to develop a lighter-toned, golden, or occasionally yellow fur.

These specimens were thought to be bred by Sir Dudley Majoribanks, also known as Lord Tweedmouth.

It is widely accepted that three Tweed Water Spaniels were mixed and bred in order to develop the Golden Retriever. The new yellow Tweed Water Spaniel named Belle was crossed with a wavy coated specimen of the breed, named Nous.

Their litter produced four puppies named, Primrose, Ada, Crocus, and Cowslip and each of them had golden wavy fur, the perfect mixture of the parent breeds. Shortly after, these puppies become known as Golden Retriever ones.

 

How did the Tweed Water Spaniel become extinct?

Because of the increasing popularity of the Golden Retriever, the Tweed Water Spaniel’s population numbers started to decline, and by the beginning of the 20th century, this old breed got completely replaced by the Golden Retriever

Breeders neglected to preserve and save the Tweed Water Spaniel. Hence the excellent water dogs have totally vanished, and they remained only in the stories of Stanley O’Neil.
