Breeders' Committee

Committed Breeders

Preserving a healthy, versatile breed

The Breeders' Committee is committed to the future of this rare breed. It exists to inform and educate IWSCA breeders on issues of health, genetics and breeding practices designed to promote the ongoing health and welfare of the Irish Water Spaniel. To this end we have agreed to a rigorous set of recommended breeding practices such as: open information exchange, health testing in accordance with the Irish Water Spaniel CHIC protocol, collaboration with the IWSCA Health and Genetics Committee, participation in breed-specific health studies, promotion of responsible pet ownership, and responsibility for any puppy they have bred - for the life of that dog.

All are welcome. To apply for membership in the Breeders Education Committee, please sign the Best Breeding Practices document and submit it to Mindy Garbarino [email protected]
