Breeder and owner of the very first Spanish Water Dog Open Show Best in Show Winner. Calida (Briarlow's Belleza)
I was very lucky to have been one of the original Canagua partnership who imported the SWD into England 24 years ago.
Sadly Dilita de Ubrique passed away at the age of 12 and her daughter Lydia (Canagua's Llamativo Senora) passed away at the wonderful age of 15 but I'm fortunate enough to have some of their wonderful offspring. Also Lana passed away in 2015 at the age of 15. Dilita was a fantastic ambassador of the breed and I'm lucky that her character continues down the line.
For me temperament is the main thing that I look for in a SWD. We are looking forward to exciting times ahead and hopefully some wonderful new additions in the future.

On this picture is Calida. The very first BIS winner at the Spanish Water Dog Club Open Show.
A happy, healthy girl, who brings a smile to everyone's face. Such a character and a joy to own.
Hipscore: 12/6 PRA-DNA Carrier
Gonioscopy clear
Calida had a litter of pups on the 5th July 2013. Dad has a hipscore of 6, PRA DNA clear and gonioscopy clear. PUPS ARE STILL AVAILABLE. Do not hesitate in contacting me if you are interested in knowing more about this wonderful breed.
Calida sadly passed away in 2023 aged 15. Briarlow are proud to have their Spanish live well into their teens.

Photograph of Moby whom I bred and who is owned by Mrs Lynn Napier.
This is Moby aged 3 with a full corded coat.
The whole litter lived to wonderful ages thanks to Lynn Napier, Terri Durrant and Robin and Lynne Walker taking good care of them. Their offspring are in today's pedigrees.
