EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the esteemed Illustrated London News Ltd in 1908, provides a rare glimpse into the early history of the Irish Water Spaniel breed and the formation of the Irish Water Spaniel Society. The image was captured near Mildenhall, Suffolk during the first working trials of the society, showcasing the remarkable abilities of these dogs in the field. The Irish Water Spaniel is a unique breed, known for its distinctive curly coat, webbed feet, and strong swimming abilities. In the early 1900s, these dogs were primarily used as hunting companions for waterfowl, and the trials served as an opportunity to assess their skills and suitability for the role. The photograph features several Irish Water Spaniels in various stages of retrieving game, with their proud handlers looking on. Among the dogs, we can identify Ballywater, Avick, Kitty, and O'Connor, each displaying the breed's distinctive features and athleticism. The trial setting is quintessentially Edwardian, with hunters dressed in tweed and plus-fours, and the backdrop of the picturesque English countryside. This photograph not only offers a fascinating insight into the history of the Irish Water Spaniel breed but also showcases the strong bond between man and dog in the context of traditional English shooting sports. The first Irish Water Spaniel Society trials marked an essential milestone in the breed's history, ensuring the preservation and recognition of this remarkable breed.
