The name of the Portuguese Water Dog already says a lot about him. This little dog has a strong connection with fishermen and fishing in general. However, this is just one fact about the furry.

The Portuguese Water Dog is a robust dog of medium build, slightly longer than tall.

He is strong and well-muscled, able to stay in the water for long periods, but also enjoys playing outside. It has a unique profuse, wavy or curly coat. Its head is well proportioned, strong and broad.

An important characteristic of this breed is that the dogs do not have the same temperament. Some may be more relaxed, while others are more serious or more relaxed.

However, in general, this is usually a companion dog and ready for any activity - from play to work. He doesn't usually cause problems in everyday life, as long as he has an exercise routine and receives proper attention.
