Our Portuguese Water Dog puppies are bred from AKC and CKC recognized Champions. This insures that all of our puppies will be similar in conformation to the breed standard.
Breed Standard
"The Portuguese Water Dog is defined by his job. He has a hard, penetrating and attentive expression, splendid sight and a fair nose. Slightly longer than tall, the Portuguese Water Dog is a medium-sized, sturdy, athletic swimming dog with webbed feet, short neck, and a wavy or curly coat to protect him from the elements, whether in the water or on land."
"From his impressive head with piercing gaze through a rugged body to his powerful tail carried up in a ring with its characteristic flowing flag, the Portuguese Water Dog presents an indelible impression of strength, spirit and soundness."
