Cheeseheads love this rare breed: the American Water Spaniel is Wisconsin's state dog! They're faithful companions and talented retrievers — and as the name suggests, they're built for splashing and swimming. They're also avid hunters. Some have worked as therapy dogs.                                                              

Originally from the United States, this mid-sized, medium-energy breed can grow to between 25-45 pounds and lives an average of 10-14 years. The breed is recognized by the American Kennel Club and classified as a member of the Sporting group.

 TV Shows 

1- Coyote Peterson: I like this tv show because Coyote Peterson and his brave Wilderness Crew plunge into the rainforest of Costa Rica where they encounter Central America's rare animals. Thanks to this TV show we can learn about animals that we don't usually encounter. 

2- Jeremy Wade's Dark Waters: This series is about a biologist and extreme fisherman, who travels the world in search of the most fearsome freshwater assassins, looking for clues, witnesses and stories of people who were attacked by these ferocious predators. I recommend this tv show because thanks to it we can meet unknown creatures, and learn about other cultures.  

3- My Cat from Hell: This TV show introduces us to Jackson Galaxy, an expert in cats, who believes he can help any problematic cat, as long as their owners  follow their advice. This series is very good because Jackson teach us the care we should have with cats and not raise them in a bad way.
