Overview:
The Portuguese Water Dog, or PWD, is a fascinating and active breed originating from Portugal's Algarve region, where they historically assisted fishermen by herding fish into nets, retrieving lost tackle, and acting as couriers between boats. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs, known for their distinctive, non-shedding, wavy or curly coat, which can be black, brown, or white (or combinations). They possess a robust, muscular build and webbed feet, perfectly adapted for their aquatic heritage. Temperamentally, PWDs are intelligent, energetic, and loyal companions, thriving on mental and physical stimulation. They are generally good with children and other pets, making them excellent family dogs for active households, though their exercise needs make them less suitable for small apartments unless adequately walked and engaged. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of breed-specific concerns like hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and juvenile cardiomyopathy.
