An old article from 2013 that I found when researching my decision to bring an Irish Water Spaniel into the family. By Chris Robinson for the The Canine Chronicle. Really like this article, and I find myself referring back to it frequently. Well worth sharing here, in light of the fact that my own Irish Water Spaniel is taking over my site… An outstanding read on the breed, with a focus on the rich history of these dogs in the field.
