There aren’t many dogs that swim underwater, but the Portuguese water dog can turn his paw at anything. Of course, he swims – he was originally bred to work alongside fishermen – but he can do much more. He runs, retrieves, dives off boats, finds lost equipment, and even herds shoals of fish! But above all, this loveable breed is a wonderfully bouncy and fun family companion.
Beloved of presidents and senators, the Portuguese water dog has spread its wings and traveled far beyond the Iberian coastline where it was developed. Now extremely popular pooches in the United States, owners of these dogs may want to consider investing in one of the best swimming pools for dogs to keep these pups happy.
