To see the spaniel at his best he
should be taken to the haunts of the
waterfowl. In the salt marshes, the
les and streams of the east, and in
the prairie sloughs of the west, he is in
deed great little dog. His stumpy
legs may be poor performers on dry
ground, but they are very efficient when
it comes to swimming. The dog, too, is
a hardy fellow, ready to face any weather
and cold water whenever asked. AS q
retriever from water he is most desira-
BILE, while his intelligence and compact
form make him the best of dogs for the
ducking skiff. OF course the Irish water
spaniel is excluded from all references
to short legs and clumsiness. A good
specimen of this dog appears to be quite
long legged.
Tho chief value Of tho Irish spaniel
to tho sportsman is as q retriever. He
lis q worthy rival of the famous dog of
the Chesapeake, and no weather is too
severe. while few tasks nre too difficult,
for him He is game to the core, a very
powerful, magnificent swimmer, and to
all intents natural retriever. His oily
coat can bid defiance to cold water,
whilo vigorous shake appears to at
once dry it. He is rs hardy as badger.
Ho is q most intelligent and willing
worker, and will show to tho greatest
advantage under conditions which
would battle almost any other retriever
from water. -Outing.
