Q. & A. with Tiffany
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because my first Irish Water Spaniel, now 10, was truly exceptional—smart, versatile, and accomplished. I fell in love with the breed. With so few IWS litters produced each year, I wanted to contribute by breeding purposefully from a great specimen to help preserve and promote this rare breed.
What makes your program special?
At Marley Creek, I breed versatile Irish Water Spaniels for type, temperament & purpose. My dogs compete in many AKC sports & are CHIC-tested. Raised in-home with care & enrichment, each puppy goes home with lifetime support. I’m proud to help preserve and promote this rare, remarkable breed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
