Portuguese Water Dogs
Portuguese Water Dog's are highly intelligent, energetic, and affectionate breed that thrives as a family companion. Known for their loyal and playful nature, they form strong bonds with their owners and are particularly devoted to their families. With their curly or wavy, water-resistant coat and charming personality, these dogs are a delight to have around, whether your lounging at home or on an outdoor adventure.
Portuguese Water Dogs are active and need regular physical and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. They enjoy participating in family activities, playing games, and are often up for a hike or a jog. Their intelligence makes them quick learners, and they excel in obedience, agility, and other dog sports, making training a rewarding experience.
As a family pet, this breed is friendly, good with children, and typically gets along well with other pets. They are also hypoallergenic, making them an excellent choice for people with allergies BUT this does not mean that you will not be allergic to them! Pet allergies go beyond just a dogs hair, some may still react to dander or saliva. With their loving, playful, and slightly independent nature, Portuguese Water Dogs bring joy, energy, and loyalty to any home.
