About the Portuguese Water Dog
The Portuguese Water Dog, known as Cão de Água in Portugal, has its origins in the fishing communities of that country. Bred to assist fishermen, these skilled dogs excel in swimming, diving, and retrieving fishing gear due to their water-resistant coat and webbed feet. Their medium-sized, sturdy bodies are covered in distinctive, curly, and waterproof coats that can be black, brown, or white. With expressive dark eyes and an elegant yet robust appearance, they’re both smart and athletic companions. Learn more
