The Portuguese Water Dog
is a seafaring breed and was prized by fishermen in Portugal for being spirited,
yet obedient in nature. A web-footed dog, they are a swimmer and diver of exceptional
ability. They fit well into many types of lifestyles, they are usually a quiet
dog who only barks when they are on watchdog duty. They have been said to "climb
up and down an octave" when they bark, expressing the range of vocal tones used.
Distinctly a water dog, they love the water and will courageously jump in to
do whatever task is presented. They are self-willed, but obedient to their owners.
Portuguese Water Dogs are intelligent, energetic dogs. They have great stamina
and love fun, family and life! Portuguese Water Dogs are sensitive to commands,
and should not require extensive training. They respond well to direction, although
they may be stubborn to children or strangers. They are rather aloof and apprehensive
around strangers, and are certainly willing to be a watchdog and a guard dog
if needed. This breed is a medium sized dog, with black, white, brown or a combination
of a solid with patches of color. They can have shorter, thick curls, or a shiny,
wavy and loosely curled coat of medium length. They have a nose that matches
the rest of the body color, and dark eyes that are often hidden behind a curtain
of fur. Not only is their fur soft, but it is known to be more tolerable to
people with allergies. Spunky and affable, the Portuguese Water Dog is talented
in more ways than one.
