PAWS Data
Welcome to the
American Water Spaniel
Pedigree Database
This project is dedicated to the idea that accessible information is in the best interest of breeders, owners, and most of all for the future of the American Water Spaniel breed. It is hoped this site can be used by both breeders and supporters to help promote our wonderful breed and ensure that the future of our AWS continues to be healthy and robust.
This database is for all American Water Spaniels not only those used for breeding.
Having as much data as possible is great for research. Raw data on things like lifespan and medical conditions like allergies, epilepsy, hypothyroidism, and cryptorchidism are not currently available for the AWS population. This tool gives us the opportunity to collect and create data sets for future analysis. The support of our breeders and owners is necessary for this project to be really successful.
The future for the AWS is moving Forward!
About PAWS Database
This is an independent project not owned or managed by any club or registry. The database is a work in progress and is sourced by information available in the public domain or contributed by interested parties. The information listed on PAWS Data is offered in good faith, but please realize there may be errors. If you have suggested corrections please let us know.
This database is not a registry. When using PAWS Data for research, please remember this is just a collection of information and it is not intended to be a substitute for that provided by your registry, the owner, and/or breeder.
Please note – data is data, and it might not always be flattering. PAWS Data is about presenting information, facts for review and research. The intent of this project is to have a reliable and unbiased resource that is easy to access. It is hoped that we can all use this tool and work together for the future of the breed we love.

Navigating PAWS Database
What do all the colors mean?
This indicates a repeated ancestor, different colors per the number of instances.
Naming Conventions
Registered names are recorded to the best of our knowledge, please let us know if you see a correction is needed.
Duplicate names when unavoidable are identified (1), (2), etc.
For non registered dogs if the breeder is known, the breeder’s name or kennel name is used to preface the call name. If the breeder is not known, the owners last name and call name will be used. Whenever possible, the owner of the dog will chose how it should be recorded.
Titles Abbreviations / Conventions
Title Abbreviations follow the offering organization standard and higher level titles replace lower titles. Titles are displayed in the following order:
HRCH BIS/BISS GCH (Name) CD JH SD NA NAJ RATN CGC
The prefix order will be: Hunting Retreiver, Best In Show/Specialty, Championship
The suffix order is a little more challenging as the opportunities for earning titles continue to grow. At this time we have it broken into three fields.The first is the traditional titles from the main registries – Obedience, Hunt Test, Agility. The next is AWSC titles – Working Certificates, Awards. The last is everything else.
A CGC title will be moved to end of the suffix title string when a dog has earned more advanced performance titles.
For AWS earning titles in the same activity from multiple organizations, the highest earned titles will be listed first.
For those superstar AWS earning titles in multiple levels and activities, we’ll follow these conventions as closely as possible, but output display options can be limiting, so it may get messy.
