Portuguese Water Dogs

Portuguese Water Dogs originated from the Algarve region of Portugal. From there the breed expanded to all around Portugal's coast, where they were taught to herd fish into fishermen's nets, retrieve lost tackle or broken nets, and act as couriers from ship to ship, or ship to shore.

Portuguese Water Dogs rode in fishing trawlers as they worked their way from the Atlantic waters of Portugal to the waters off the coast of Iceland fishing for cod.

While Portuguese Water Dogs have non-shedding qualities that have made them more popular in recent years, they are a fairly rare breed. Though some breeders claim they are a hypoallergenic dog breed, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that hypoallergenic dog breeds exist.

Portuguese Water Dogs - Temperament  

Portuguese Water Dogs are loving, independent, and intelligent.  They are easily trained in obedience and agility skills. Portuguese Water Dogs are generally friendly to strangers and enjoy being petted. Portuguese Water Dogs make excellent working dogs,  and when trained, they are willing and able to follow complex commands. Portuguese Water Dogs learn very quickly, seem to enjoy the training. This breed has a surprisingly long memory for the names of objects. These traits and their non-shedding coats mean they excel at various service dog roles such as hearing dogs, mobility dogs, and seizure response dogs. They also make unusually good therapy dogs.
