| | American Water Spaniels |
 | | The American Water Spaniel (or AWS, for short) is one of only a few breeds developed in America. |
 | | The AWS is sometimes confused with the Irish Water Spaniel---a similar, rare breed with a curly topknot on its head, larger size, and a thin, "rat" tail. |
 | | Another group of AWS fanciers---the American Water Spaniel Field Association (AWSFA, http://www.awsfa.org, or info@awsfa.org)---was formed in 1993, and is actively promoting their preference for spaniel classification. |
