FIVE IRISH WATER SPANIEL PUPPIES WERE BORN IN FEBRUARY 2019

"Woody" was born in 1993 and his semen was collected in 2001 and sent to Kathy Sprout in Australia. By the kind permission of Kathy Sprout and Woody´s owner Susanne Narfström I had the possibility to get the semen back. "Pinky" was inseminated in December. Woody was a very healthy dog with an excellent temperament. He had excellent hips, elbows and eyes. He received a CC at Crufts in 2002 and was BIS at the Dutch Specialty in 2001, under judge Pepi Barrington. He died in 2005, nearly 13 years old. Health tests: elbows excellent, hips excellent, eyes clear.

"Pinky" is a great all-around dog with a good temperament. In addition to dog shows, Pinky has done blood tracking with great results in Open and Winners Classes and only needs one more result for her Tracking Champion status, which we hope to achieve next summer. Pinky has also done agility, rally and nose work, and last summer we took a water rescue course in which Pinky did well. Pinky is also an active care dog. She gets along very well with all kinds of dogs and is friendly towards children and adults. Health tests: elbows 0/0, hips B/B, eyes clear.
