They’re Low Maintenance
Portuguese Water Dogs are among the lowest maintenance breeds, requiring little in
the way of exercise or grooming. They enjoy daily walks and relaxing at home with
their families; playing is their favorite pastime; they will stick close by your side even
at crowded public events or shopping malls; this makes them great companions for
families with young children, as they’re naturally protective towards them; however,
they should still be closely supervised when playing rough with very young ones as
this may endanger their safety.
They’re popular breeds due to their adaptable personalities and high intelligence,
making them easy-to-train dogs. Their adaptable personalities and quick learning
make training them effortless; they quickly pick up commands so you can teach
them anything with minimal effort. Furthermore, these dogs adapt well to changing
weather conditions such as rain and snow but don’t care much for extreme
temperatures.
Dogs thrive when included in daily family activities, be they hiking, swimming or
simply watching TV. Since these dogs don’t like being left alone for extended periods
of time, active households with fenced-in yards and plenty of outdoor adventures are
best-suited.
When searching for a reputable breeder, look for one who places importance on the
health and temperament of their puppies. A breeding facility should conduct genetic
tests, offer nurturing environments, avoid unethical breeding practices and offer
health guarantees with each litter they produce.

They’re Adaptable
Portuguese Water Dogs make wonderful additions to families. These pups thrive on
human interaction and love to participate in daily activities; however, they should
never be left alone for extended periods. Early training is essential in helping your
Portuguese Water Dog adapt to being alone for extended periods and avoid
separation anxiety.
These energetic pups require ample exercise to release all their excess energy.
Without enough physical and mental stimulation, these dogs could develop
destructive behaviors or become anxious, leading them to create destructive acts in
your home or becoming destructive themselves. Therefore, an active household with
access to an outside space should provide this stimulation.
Due to their extreme sensitivity, Portuguese Water Dogs can easily be affected by
the tone and mood of those around them. Therefore, it’s essential that they receive
training and socialization with children and other dogs from an early age so they
learn how to respond positively or negatively when confronted by positive and
negative reinforcement.
Though these dogs tend to be healthy, it’s still wise to provide regular veterinary
care in order to safeguard against potential issues. These visits provide
opportunities for health screenings as well as advice regarding grooming methods
like nail trimming and dental hygiene.
Portuguese Water Dogs tend to bark occasionally, usually only as an alert
mechanism or to alert their human companion of something unfamiliar or potentially
threatening. With proper training and socialization from an early age, excessive
barking can be managed and channeled towards more positive purposes. They
should also receive high-quality foods regularly – usually three or four times per day
as puppies and two or three times as adults – in order to ensure maximum growth
potential and energy.
They’re Easy to Train
Intelligent dogs quickly pick up commands, and love a challenge. To meet their
needs, these intelligent pups require early socialization, obedience training and
plenty of exercise – it is wise to enroll your pup in an obedience school as soon as
they’ve been fully vaccinated; additionally they enjoy water activities such as agility
training, dock diving or retrieving!
Porties tend to be susceptible to hip dysplasia, eye conditions, heart disease and
skin conditions; therefore it’s essential that they receive regular check-ups with a
veterinarian. Furthermore, feed your Portie high-quality commercial dog food or an
approved home diet from your veterinarian – this will also help them keep a healthy
weight as well as promote an impressive coat.
Portuguese Water Dogs feature wavy or curly coats that require daily brushing and
combing to avoid tangles, matts and other problems. Bathe them occasionally to
keep their coat clean – their fur dries quickly making this breed ideal for people with
allergies!
PWDs can be energetic and boisterous dogs that can easily knock over children and
other pets without proper supervision. PWDs require consistent and thorough
obedience training in order to teach them not to pull on their leash, while their
mouths naturally desire to explore everything around them, which may cause them
to bite people or animals without proper instruction.
Your dog needs regular exercise and attention, so keep him occupied by using tricks
and games that keep him engaged with tricks and games that keep them busy.
Consistent training techniques may also be effective. Aim to establish a routine
schedule for daily activities such as feeding times and walks so your pup knows what
to expect each day.
They’re Affectionate
Portuguese Water Dogs form strong relationships with their humans, quickly
becoming beloved members of their household. They enjoy spending time together
and participating in activities like going for brisk walks, swimming laps, fetching
games and agility training as well as other interactive challenges. Their social
natures also make them great companions for children as long as interactions are
properly supervised, and generally get along well with other pets.
Portuguese Water Dogs were originally designed as working dogs and therefore
require regular exercise to maintain optimal physical and mental health. For this
reason, these pups do best in homes where someone can spend significant time
with them; otherwise they could become anxious if left alone for extended periods.
Portuguese Water Dogs should enjoy daily walks, swim sessions, and playtime
activities, but should also be exposed to new environments, experiences, and
engaging activities such as Rally Obedience or Water Trials as an engaging form of
mental stimulation. With their long history as maritime workers, Portuguese Water
Dogs naturally make for great candidates for these events!
Reducing their coat shedding may not require as much grooming, but that doesn’t
mean these breeds should go without regular attention from an experienced
groomer. A lion cut or Retriever Cut can help reduce shedding while maintaining
health of their coats; regular brushing also is essential to reduce hairy spots around
the home and minimize hair accumulation.
Portuguese Water Dogs tend to be generally healthy breeds, though they can
sometimes suffer from joint conditions and eye diseases. Potential owners should
make sure that they work with a breeder who has conducted appropriate screening
of both parents for such issues and provided health clearances as a sign that all will
go smoothly in their new homes. Regular vaccinations and visits to your veterinarian
will also help ensure these dogs live long, fulfilling lives.
They’re Hypoallergenic
Portuguese Water Dogs make great companions for people living with allergies or
asthma, thanks to their hypoallergenic coat and easy training process. Plus, these
friendly pups love spending time with their families whether that means playing
outdoors or cuddling up close on the sofa!
These factors contribute to why this breed has earned high rankings from the AKC
Canine Health Information Center’s 2022 rankings. When purchasing, it’s important
to expect a reputable breeder will provide information about your puppies’ genetic
history as well as health clearances for Juvenile Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Storage
Disease clearance, along with an AKC-endorsed health guarantee. You should also
be willing to visit their home to examine living conditions and meet parents of litters
before making your purchase decision.
Your AKC puppy registration also benefits programs designed to improve both dogs
and their owners, including AKC Reunite – a national recovery database dedicated to
returning lost pets to their owners – and AKC Pet Disaster Relief which assists local
