What was the Irish Water Spaniel first bred for?
A man by the name of Justin McCarthy from Dublin, Ireland is credited for creating the Irish Water Spaniel breed. While he left no breeding records, it is said the breed may be comprised from Poodle and Irish Setter, or the Poodle and the Curly-Coated Retriever or the Poodle and the Portuguese Water Dog, or possibly a combination thereof. In appearance the dog resembles a brown Standard Poodle. The dogs were used as dual-purpose hunting dogs, working both land and water, with a soft mouth, able to retrieve even in frigid waters. In the 1800's the Irish Water Spaniel was popular in the United States as a duck hunting dog. Unfortunately the breed lost popularity when the easier care Labrador Retriever became more popular. The Irish Water Spaniel is now considered a rare breed. The Irish Water Spaniel was recognized by the AKC in 1884.
