Welcome to the world of the Kirkmarsh Working Irish Water Spaniels
 
      Owned & worked by Melvyn and Denise Hurst               
Latest News:
Our Liz is expecting grand children

We are owners, handlers and breeders of working Irish Water Spaniels and use them in the shooting field as well as competitively in gun dog working tests and field trials. We even enter the occasional show.
Our Water Spaniels are bred for temperament, for working in the shooting field, competing in gundog working tests and field trials, but most of all they are bred to be great companions, with fantastic personalities. The dogs we now use for breeding are all hip scored, elbow scored and have annual eye tests. In addition, mating considerations are checked with the world's largest breed database and genetics program to ensure we achieve low levels of inbreeding.
Our current dogs come from the United States, Sweden, Ireland and homebred in the UK. 
We occasionally have puppies available and would be delighted to talk to you about the Breed and whether it is suitable for you.
