Question: What is a medium-sized French water dog, Black and Tan Virginia Foxhound or Barbet?
Context: Albert Désiré Vandeplancke (3 January 1911 – 1 April 1939) was a French water polo player and freestyle swimmer who competed at the 1928 Summer Olympics.  He won a bronze medal with the French water polo team, and failed to reach the finals of the 400 metre and 4×200 metre swimming events. The Tweed Water Spaniel, or Tweed Spaniel, is a breed of dog extinct since the 19th century.  It is best known for being involved in the early development of the modern Curly Coated Retriever and Golden Retriever breeds of dogs.  They were described as a generally brown athletic dogs from the area around Berwick-upon-Tweed near the River Tweed and close to the Scottish Borders.  A type of water dog, the breed was not well known outside the local area.  This breed may have been created by crossing local water dogs with imported St. John's water dog, another breed which is also now extinct. The Black and Tan Virginia Foxhound is an American foxhound breed.  It resulted of a cross breed with Bloodhounds in the 1700s.  The breed was developed by the landed gentry in order to get a dog suitable for fox hunting.  Besides the Black and Tan there are the Walker, Calhoun, Penn-Marydel, Goodman, July and Trigg, which all developed from similar crosses.  The Black and Tan is believed to descend form hunting dogs imported to America by Robert Brooke in 1650.  These hunting dogs were the ancestors of several varieties of American hounds and stayed with the Brooke family for more than 300 years.  Afterwards French Foxhounds were bred in after George Washington received them as gifts from the Marquis de Lafayette.  Much later, the breed's speed and stamina were improved introducing Irish Foxhounds. The Spanish Water Dog (perro de agua español ) breed dates back several hundred years and has its origins most likely in Turkey from where it was imported into Spain as a general purpose sheepdog and guard.  It is also used sometimes as a gundog, and is skilled at retrieval from water.  The SWD has strong genetic links to other ancient water breeds such as the Portuguese Water Dog, the French Barbet and the Irish Water Spaniel. The poodle is a group of formal dog breeds, the Standard Poodle, Miniature Poodle and Toy Poodle.  The origins of the poodles are still discussed with a dispute over whether the poodle descends from the old French Barbet breed or from Germany as a type of water dog. Drinking water supply and sanitation in Algeria is characterized by achievements and challenges.  Among the achievements is a substantial increase in the amount of drinking water supplied from reservoirs, long-distance water transfers and desalination at a low price to consumers, thanks to the country's substantial oil and gas revenues.  These measures increased per capita water supply despite a rapidly increasing population.  Another achievement is the transition from intermittent to continuous water supply in the capital Algiers in 2011, along with considerable improvements in wastewater treatment resulting in better water quality at beaches.  These achievements were made possible through a public-private partnership with a private French water company.  The number of wastewater treatment plants throughout the country increased rapidly from only 18 in 2000 to 113 in 2011, with 96 more under construction.  However, there are also many challenges.  One of them is poor service quality in many cities outside Algiers with 78% of urban residents suffering from intermittent water supply.  Another challenge is the pollution of water resources.  There has also been insufficient progress concerning reuse of treated water, a government priority in this dry country. The Black and Tan Coonhound is a breed of dog.  Developed in the United States from crosses between the Bloodhound and the Black and Tan Virginia Foxhound, this coonhound runs its game entirely by scent and is used primarily for coon hunting. The barbet is a breed of dog; it is a medium-sized French water dog.  It is listed in Group 8 (retrievers, flushing dogs, water dogs) by the Société Centrale Canine, the French Kennel Club. The Wetterhoun (FCI No.221, translated into English as the Frisian Water Dog) is a breed of dog traditionally used as a hunting dog for hunting small mammals and waterfowl in the province of Fryslan in the Netherlands.  The name of the dog comes from the West Frisian "Wetterhûn" meaning "water dog."  Plural of Wetterhoun is Wetterhounen in Dutch.  The breed may also be called the "Otterhoun" (not to be confused with the Otterhound) or "Dutch Spaniel", although it is not a Spaniel-type dog. The Moscow Water Dog, also known as the Moscow Diver, Moscow Retriever or Moskovsky Vodolaz, is a little-known dog breed derived from the Newfoundland, Caucasian Shepherd Dog and East European Shepherd.  It is now extinct, but was used in the development of the  Black Russian Terrier.  The Moscow Water Dog was produced only by the Red Star Kennels, the state operated organization chartered to provide working dogs for the armed services.
