Purebred Irish Water Spaniel pups

Purebred Irish Water Spaniel pups from top class bloodlines on both sides. Sire is Lupin who was imported from Lincolnshire, whose sire in turn was from the US, resulting in a strong outcross and healthy offspring with good bone structure and general conformation.

BREEDING NOTE:

A certain level of inbreeding is quite common in dogs, however Irish Water Spaniels are so rare that the rate of inbreeding averages around 25%. These pups are incredibly and intendedly well-bred with a 6.5% level, giving them outstanding genetics.

These pups have had the best of everything so far having been on veterinary supplied puppy food since being weaned. They are social, playful and already showing signs of the intelligence the breed are so loved for, making them suitable either as gundogs or family pets.
