Purdie Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) I have been researching about the IWS for my short list but there isn't a lot about them so i thought i would ask here. What are the grooming requirements for keeping them as a pet.? Any info about them would be great....Thanks..

ChristineX Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The Irish Water spaniel is on my list of interest too. From the one I kinda met (royal show last year, in crate), very smart, apparently very athletic - you need good fencing. Also sensitive to various drugs - a bit like Aussie Shepherds. The one I met wasn't happy with all the fuss, and kept her head down. On my fourth round of the venue (hey, lots of different breeds to see)she apparently felt I was safe enough to make eye contact with. Her brother loves people, but could not stand other male dogs so he no longer went to shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Not sure about the grooming requirements but I used to belong to a Flyball club with a lady who had 2 and they were awesome. Quite athletic and really cool looking dogs too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 My friend has them. Brushed through once week and bathed/trimmed every 6 -8 weeks. Nice, friendly and intelligent breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
