Irish Water Spaniel
Irish Water Spaniels (45-68 pounds) are playful, intelligent, and energetic, great for active families. They’re good with kids when socialized but may be too boisterous for toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours dail
y, swimming or retrieving) is essential; their curly coat needs frequent brushing and clipping. Feed 2-3 cups daily of Royal Canin Medium Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, with 25% protein for their energy and coat health. Control portions to prevent obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with space, they’re not for apartments or sedentary owners.
Training curbs clownishness. Perfect for outdoorsy households, Irish Water Spaniels thrive with water activities, not for urban or low-grooming homes.
