Oor die ras
The Pont-Audemer Spaniel comes from the Risle valley in Normandy, around the town of Pont-Audemer, where it was used on waterfowl in marshes. The breed was close to extinction after the Second World War and was rebuilt with careful crossing, including Irish Water Spaniel blood.
It is a lively, good-humoured dog with a distinctive curly topknot and long curly ears. It loves water and work, and at home it is affectionate and easy-going. It remains very rare, so finding a puppy may take time.
Het jy geweet?
In France it is nicknamed the "little clown of the marshes" for its cheerful look and manner.
