    reading this thread has made me want to know about the Irish Water Spaniel, they look fabulous. Do they need working or is recreational water sport enough for them and are they really low shed or is that they have hair like a poodle rather than fur?
    thanks to poster.
    They're an 200 yr old poodle cross, and they're non-shed, as far as I know. The guy I knew who bred them had them just for showing, but he sold pups to pet households and to homes where they'd be used as working dogs. He said that they're great with kids when they're reared with them, have a high pain tolerance, but that they do need a fair bit of exercise. I'm sure that a couple of good long walks a day with some games thrown in would do them grand, and I bet they'd love agility or flyball. The coat would need to be clipped, and it's so soft that you'd hardly know you were touching it (I'd very happily wear an IWS hair jumper).

    I desperately want one, I just haven't got the room at the minute.

    Hey
    Our Jackapoo is non shed, due to his poodle dad.
    They're medium sized and very happy, friendly dogs.
