Portuguese Water Dog: Index
The Portuguese Water Dog is the breed that the Obama family chose to have in the White House. The breed has been faithfully serving Portuguese fishermen for hundreds of years, providing a variety of tasks including capturing fish, retrieving nets, getting the stuff that fell overboard, and swimming to other ships to send messages. The Portuguese Water Dog is a very friendly, very active, and very playful dog that will make a great addition to your family. It is a relatively easy dog to train and will be a good dog for the novice dog owner.
