Are Irish Water Spaniels high maintenance?

Yes, Irish Water Spaniels are high maintenance. They require regular physical exercise such as swimming or hiking to remain healthy and mentally stimulated, and their curly, dense coat needs frequent brushing and occasional trimming to prevent matting.

How much does an Irish Water Spaniel puppy cost?

An Irish Water Spaniel puppy typically costs around £2,200 to £2,500 in the UK, reflecting their rarity and the health testing reputable breeders perform, although prices can vary; adopting from rescue is also an option for ethical acquisition.

Can Irish Water Spaniels be left alone for long periods?

Irish Water Spaniels do not cope well when left alone for long periods as they crave human companionship and mental stimulation; prolonged isolation can lead to anxiety or destructive behaviour, so arrangements like dog walkers or daycare are recommended.
