Portuguese Water Dogs are truly exceptional companions, known for their intelligence, energy, and affectionate nature. As a breeder of these wonderful dogs in Florida, I'm proud to offer healthy, well-socialized puppies that embody the best traits of the breed. Here's what makes Portuguese Water Dogs stand out:

• Country of Origin: Portugal. They were originally bred to assist fishermen, which is reflected in their strong swimming abilities and love for water.
• Breed Classification: Working group. They are hardworking, intelligent, and versatile dogs.
• Size: Medium. Males stand at 20 to 23 inches at the shoulder, and females are slightly smaller at 17 to 21 inches.
• Physical Characteristics: They have a distinctive, hypoallergenic coat that can be either curly or wavy. Their robust build and webbed feet make them excellent swimmers.
• Lifespan: Approximately 11 to 13 years. They are generally healthy and robust dogs.
• Average Cost: The cost can vary, but you're investing in a dog known for its health, intelligence, and companionship.
• Allergenic Properties: Low. Their hypoallergenic coat makes them a great option for families with allergies.
• Compatibility with Children and Other Pets: Excellent. They are known for their friendly nature and do well in families with children and other pets.
• Health: They are generally healthy but, like all breeds, can be prone to certain genetic conditions. Responsible breeding practices help minimize these risks.
• Trainability: High. Portuguese Water Dogs are eager to please and respond well to positive reinforcement training methods.
• Grooming Needs: Moderate to high. Their coats require regular grooming to prevent matting and keep them looking their best.

In Florida, our puppies are raised with love and care, ensuring they grow into well-adjusted, happy dogs ready to join their new families. Whether you're looking for a companion for adventures on the water, a playful family member, or a loyal friend, a Portuguese Water Dog might just be the perfect fit for you.
