Eire
Irish Water Spaniels at Waterdogs Farm |
 ©CCraft |
It is dedicated to preserving the multi-purpose IWS. We concentrate on confirmation, obedience and hunting, helping these Irish to showcase some of their many talents. We have had pups go onto careers in fly ball, agility and tracking as well. Our goal is to have an "all around " IWS, one that preserves the old fashioned standard of a dog that can do anything asked of it.
Our kennel was started in 1988 with our first IWS, Am/Can. Ch. Castlehill's Go Quadrifolio CD JH CGC TDI (Lucky). He was soon joined by Ch. Poole's Ide Wilnbris Hi Hope CD JH WC CGC TDI (Maggie) and their children Ch. Eire's All Gotta Cheer CD JH CGC (Woody) and Ch. Eire's Amanda Go Cadence CD JH CGC (Cady).
Our kennel has grow to include 10+ IWS right now, all different ages, in different stages of training.

Murph has been hot on the trail of those wily ducks! He recently
earning his
AKC Masters title and qualifying for the Masters Invitational!
He also became the proud papa of his first litter of pups
with another MH,
Rosemary's Sexton's Nova. Those pups were probably born hunting!!
Eire IWS is very proud of our young boy Murph and congratulates
his owner
Chris Meurrett.

Moira - Eire's Lass of Ballinameen CD RA & - Eire's Niall of the
Nine. owned by Kathy & Brendan Boyle who all live in Michigan.
Kathy writes:
"Moira has earned her Rally Advanced title, and is now taking a break
from serious training.
Niall is a very sweet boy, but can be easily distracted from the task at
hand. We are now in a "competitive novice" class (9/2009), which
takes place while a beginning obedience class is going on in the same building.
Lots of distractions. ….as with Moira, I thought I'd start him in rally
so I can
repeat commands if necessary and talk to him during the trial. It also avoids
the long sit and down, which still need work.
He is our official paper boy. Once the coffee is started, Brendan says where's
the paper boy? And Niall runs to the front door, accompanied by cheerleader
Moira. The door is opened and we make sure there are no deer around, then
we say "get the paper," and he grabs it, runs back into the house
and down the hall to the kitchen, with Moira barking encouragement. He brings
the paper to the cookie jar, where he delivers it to hand. Cookies for both
the paper boy and the cheerleader are
awarded.
Sunday, of course, is more of a challenge. Our Sunday paper is full of advertisements
and it more than twice the size of the daily paper. Plus it tends to fall
apart. We usually grab part of it, roll it up and hand it to him to bring
in. Once we tried to pass off a rolled up copy of an old paper, while we
took care of the actual Sunday paper ourselves. He went out, sniffed the
old paper and refused to pick it up, knowing it wasn't the genuine item.
