照護
個性
Playful, clever and loyal, with a clownish sense of fun. It tends to be wary of strangers and can be stubborn.
運動
Needs one and a half to two hours of exercise a day. Swimming, retrieving, field work and agility suit it well.
美容整理
Comb the curly coat a few times a week to prevent mats and trim it every couple of months. It sheds little.
訓練
Intelligent and learns quickly, but gets bored with repetition. Keep training fun, varied and consistent.
健康
Hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, some eye conditions and drug sensitivities are reported in the breed. Ask the breeder for hip and elbow scores, eye results and thyroid tests.

關於這個犬種
The Irish Water Spaniel took its modern form in Ireland in the 19th century, bred for retrieving wildfowl from cold water and marsh. It is the tallest of the spaniels and is easy to recognise by its liver curls, topknot and smooth, tapering tail.
It is lively, funny and devoted to its own family, but often reserved with strangers. It needs a lot of exercise and mental work and is happiest with water nearby. The coat does not shed much but needs regular care to stay free of mats. It is a rare breed and suits experienced, active owners best.
