Interestingly, in Portugal, the breed standard does not allow more than 30% of white markings on the dog. And overall, white is the least common coat color for a Portuguese Water Dog. The most common color in a coat is black and white markings on the Portuguese Water Dog’s chin; this is called a “milk chin.”
There are two main types of coat style: curly coat and wavy coat. The curly Portuguese Water Dog is compact with cylindrical curls and is considered lusterless. The hair on the curly coat can also be sometimes wavy around the ears.
Portuguese Water Dog is an excellent choice for those looking for a friend who’s fun and cuddly, and those who have experienced allergies in the past. However, even though the Portuguese Water Dog comes from a warm climate, it can adapt to a colder one, just like its history in Iceland and at home with Obama in the United States.
