To be the caretaker of a Portuguese Water Dog requires one to have a well developed sense of humor combined with strong leadership qualities. It is the benevolent dictator who best succeeds with these wonderful childlike creatures.

Water Dogs EXPLODE into our lives with tremendous energy, curiosity, athleticism, intelligence, and mischievousness... combined with an insatiable need to work and be connected to their families.

These traits require their human leaders to be strong, consistent and positive in their training techniques. Anything less is a recipe for disaster. Once trained, PWD's become among the most cherished of canine companions. There are no sweeter or more magical beings.
