This dog is amazing. Mine was a docile, beautiful, friendly creature who loved to play and never grew up. He was trained but still a bundle full of energy, just like a puppy.
I just lost my IWS to lymphoma on Monday. She was extremely intelligent, more so than any other dog I owned. I would tell her the name of a toy 3x and she would remember it thereafter. I'd ask her to fetch "Pink the Dog" and she would search the house and find it. She also had an incredible nose. I would put her in a sit and then hide the treat somewhere in the house. When I released her from a sit, she would find the treat within 30 seconds. I'm heartbroken and no other will compare to her.
@mastifflove710 They shed about as much as any human would shed, which is why they need grooming. The tails are mostly naked, but if it starts growing hair on it, the groomer should just shave it down.

@teamedward087 Yes, I understand that your friend's dog's offsprings will have homes. But I would prefer it if people neuter their dogs instead of breeding them even though the puppies will have homes. Nevermind though. What's done is done. Enjoy your new puppy. I'm so jealous of you hahaha. Cause my dad doesn't let me have a dog anymore :(
Often times panting like that is a type of "laughter' in dogs. Its why some dogs will actually pant even if not doing anything that would overheat them, but are with their people or enjoying themselves. It is sort of like a cat's purr.
i had one called "ralph" he was my best friend from the early 90's to the end of 2005. god i miss him id sell my soul to spend a life time with my favourite dog again. these are great dogs they are always happy and loveable. we called ralph "moose" alot because thats what they look like, mooses LOL now i can see what mans best friend means :)
@snapple6661 I met some at "Meet the Breeds" in New York City, and they were amazing!! So lovely and sweet! They jumped up and hugged me, and their hair felt awesome...
I "think" the narrator sez they're sometimes referred to as "The Rat Dog" becuz 0their TAILS look like "Rat Tails." NOT that the entire dog 'looks like a rat!' Anyone knows that that would be a complete misnomer. It's also mentioned that the 'rest' of the dog "looks like a poodle."
No matter what they're "like," they're an original "first" breed & just CUTER than anything!! I love their JOY! /^_^\\
i don't find they look like rats... they're probably not the most gorgeous dogs around, but they're not ugly!! i like its fur, especially that toupet, lol! and look at it's legs! they're like a big teddy bear's :D what i personally find ugly is the chihuahua and many (not all) tiny purse-sized dogs... they look pathetic :P just my opinion tho. i guess there's a dog for all types!
actually, the naked tail, would make the tail a less efficient rutter.. the fact that the water would just glide off the tail smoothly in the water, compared to a Lab who would have a thicker tail to make their turns quicker and more efficient compared to a IWS.. i could be wrong, but hey, that's how i see it.
I thought the Clumber Spaniel is the biggest of the spaniels..
Gah whatever, such beautiful dogs Cx
