Ideal for owners who prefer an intelligent, active medium-sized dog, Portuguese Water Dogs require a lot of exercises and prefer to be with their owners.
Portuguese Water Dogs once served as crew on fishing trips, retrieving lost gear and herding fish into nets.
Today, this dog breed makes for a fun-loving family companion — represented by Bo Obama, former First Dog of the US — who still retains their intelligence and love of the water, not to mention the webbed feet, that made them so valuable to their human family.
Known variously as the Cao de Agua (dog of the water) and Portuguese fishing dog, these canine helpmeets developed into what we know today as the Portuguese Water Dog, a calm, intelligent, and — of course — water-loving breed.
