The Incredible Fishing Dogs of History | Working Water Dogs of the Sea & Coast

Описание: Across the world’s coasts and rivers, working dogs once laboured beside fishers — hauling lines, retrieving gear, carrying messages between boats, and braving cold waters to keep maritime life moving.

In this documentary we explore France’s Barbet water dogs, Newfoundland’s legendary retrievers, Spain’s coastal Perros de Agua, and the rugged Chesapeake Bay dogs who worked America’s estuaries.

Through restored scenes, historically grounded imagery, and narration, we uncover how these remarkable dogs shaped centuries of fishing heritage — and how their legacy survives in the breeds we know today.
