Sleeping With Dogs
Preference in bed partners is normally not a topic for general conversation except in our little sector of the universe. When we get down to those “open and honest” confessions, it’s never a question of yes or no to allowing dogs in the bed. Usually, it’s how many.

Water Dogs in the Herding Group?
The second most common question about the Spanish Water Dog (after only, “what breed is that?”) is, “Why is a water dog in the Herding Group?” The short answer is, it’s primarily a goat-tending dog.
The long answer is, it’s complicated.
