In 2013, there were only 36 Portuguese Water Dogs entered into Britain’s Crufts competition. The Crufts competition is a championship conformation show for dogs in the UK.
Known for being loving, independent, and intelligent, Portuguese Water Dogs can be easily trained.
They are also generally friendly to strangers and enjoy cuddling and petting. And due to their soft, fluffy coats, owners usually love cuddling and petting them too.
