The Irish Water SpanielSporting Breed
 Dylan from Muddy Water Kennels
The Irish Water Spaniel has a tendency to become a one-person dog that can be somewhat stubborn. They should be well trained and socialized as puppies, and do better as family dogs when raised with the family. This water spaniel loves the outdoors and all the exercise that it can get. A great swimmer. Is good with children as long as they respect the dog's space. Better suited for rural life with fields or fenced yard. Can be a drooler. Needs lots of attention paid to its coat to prevent matting. Read PGAA's Hypoallergenic Dogs article.

Book Suggestions
We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.  Rescue Links | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
