Irish Water Spaniel vs Cesky Terrier

Medium–large, athletic gundog with a distinctive curly liver coat, smooth face and tapering “rat tail.” Clever, water‑loving retriever that forms close bonds, often to one person. Needs substantial daily exercise, mental work, regular grooming and kind, consistent training.

Compact Czech hunting and family terrier with a sturdy, low body and long, silky clipped coat. Calm yet playful, typically good with children and dogs when well socialised. Intelligent and sensitive, needs regular exercise, training, and grooming. Still relatively rare outside its homeland.
