Portuguese Water Dogs have short hair that does not shed and are considered a working dog, meaning that it is a breed that needs to stay busy. This breed is considered a hypoallergenic dog.

Let’s dive right in.

What Are Portuguese Water Dogs All About

Traditionally used to assist in fishing expeditions, Portuguese Water Dogs are now kept as house pets.

While this breed is not as common as other breeds, if you want a dog that is hypoallergenic, lively, and enjoys companionship, then this breed may be the one for you.

Since Portuguese Water Dogs arenot bred as often as other breeds of hypoallergenic dogs, you will have to search for a breeder online, in the newspaper, or by calling breeders in your area until you find one.

Happy Dogs

Generally happy dogs, the PWD needs to stay busy or it will get bored. You should have plenty of toys for it to play with and you may want to consider crate training when you are not at home.

This means that the dog will stay in a crate when you go out so it does not destroy your home. When Portuguese Water Dogs get bored or lonely, they will chew on anything they find.

Crate Training Portuguese Water Dogs

Crate training should begin right after you bring the dog home. By placing a blanket, toys and water in the crate, you will make the dog comfortable while you are away.

You should not use the crate when punishing the dog or it will not want to go in it when you leave for the day. After training the dog, you will have to keep up the routine.

Structure

This will give the dog structure and will also salvage your possessions. Keeping the dog in a crate when you are not at home will also reduce allergens.

Portuguese Water Dogs need to be groomed every two months or so. There are two patterns that most groomers follow. The retriever cut and the lion cut. The retriever cut means that the hair is cut evenly on the body.

The lion cut leaves the front half of the dog’s body covered with hair, while hair on the hind legs is cut short. You should take the dog to have their hair groomed if you are not comfortable cutting it yourself.

Portuguese Water Dogs Love Companionship

If you are considering buying a PWD, you should be prepared to have constant companionship. These breeds need to be walked and they need to be entertained throughout the day.

If you need to travel on vacation or for work, you should board the dog so it will not be lonely. PWD’s typically live between twelve and fifteen years.

Easy Going

PWD’s are easy going and get along with children and most adults. If you are looking for a breed that does not shed and will fit in with your family, then the PWD is the breed for you.

While most Portuguese Water Dogs are black, some are white or a mix of both. Their hair is curly or wavy and similar to that of the standard poodle.

Now I’d like to hear from you.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
