About Portuguese Water Dogs

The Portuguese Water Dog has a rich history rooted along the coast of Portugal, where it was bred to assist fishermen at sea. These versatile dogs were known for their exceptional swimming ability, diving skills, and intelligence, often tasked with retrieving lost gear, herding fish into nets, and delivering messages between boats. Their waterproof coats and webbed feet made them perfect working companions in the Atlantic waters. Though modern technology reduced their role in the fishing industry, the breed was preserved by enthusiasts in the 20th century and has since become a beloved family companion known for its loyalty, energy, and trainability.
