History

• It's thought he descended from the 16th century English Water Spaniel, Retrieving Setter, and possibly the Irish Water Spaniel
• He's been used to hunt birds

Personality and Behavior

• He's loyal and affectionate
• He loves to play games and jump around
• He's usually reserved around strangers
• He likes lots of physical activity and exercise
• He can be quite stubborn

Training

• He's fairly easy to train. He learns commands at an average rate.

Shedding

• He sheds quite a bit of hair. You'll find some hair stuck to your clothes, couch and carpets.

Grooming / Maintenance

• His short coat only needs to be brushed occasionally. However, because it sheds you may find yourself brushing it once a week, or more, to minimize the hair in your home (what you remove with a brush doesn't end up on the couch!).
