The AWSFA is an American Water Spaniel club that formed in 1993 to offer field training opportunities to enthusiasts of  American Water Spaniel and other Spaniel breeds. Although the club has members in various parts of the country, its principal activities have taken place in Michigan, New York, and Wisconsin. It has additional goals of providing helpful information to AWS enthusiasts and recognizing AWS for their achievements in venues such as hunt tests, obedience and agility trials, and dog shows.

The club provides regularly scheduled field (hunting dog) training days throughout the year and occasional field training seminars. Its primary focus is on the development of the American Water Spaniel (AWS) as a versatile hunting dog capable of performing as well on a waterfowl hunt as it will in the uplands. Field training sessions are customized for each dog and all who attend work together to help one another bring out the best in our AWS companions.

The AWSFA goes a bit beyond being simply a field training club though and gives back to the AWS community as a whole by supporting AWS rescue efforts and contributing to reasonable AWS health initiatives. It also provides health news that may affect the AWS community through a variety of sources including the AKC Canine Health Foundation podcasts. Click on the link below to gain access to those podcasts. Through its newsletter, The Journal, the AWSFA tries to both stay in touch with its members and keep them informed of what is happening in both the AWS and canine community.
