I am deffo getting this breed for my next dog (probably in the next 2-3 years). Any info, pictures, links, books anyone can give? Anyone got any info of some good breeders? Is it sad that I already know what I want and have picked a name
I think you have to be careful re temperament with other dogs from what I've heard. I was walking Parker out of our vets after he had been in for treatment for a dog bite There was a man standing there with an Irish Water spaniel and he let go of the lead and it charged at Parker and tried to have a go at him but I body-blocked it and shouted "NO" at it very loudly. I glared at the bloke and he just said "oh-it's only a puppy" in a disapproving tone of voice Like that makes it ok then! I know one encounter with a breed shouldn't put you off but I guess it's just because they're rare and I haven't met any others.
My aunty breeds them, fantastic dogs. They are prone to being a bit skittish so be careful which breeder you go to.
Dex plays with an IWS sometimes at a local park. The IWS is totally adorable, really playful and affectionate
