The Portuguese Water Dog has a lot of great qualities: he's tireless, and fun loving, with a great sense of humor. He's also smart enough that he can out think you if you don't stay a step ahead of him. You may frequently find yourself laughing as he plays the clown to get your attention.

You'll find a range of temperaments in Portuguese Water Dogs. Some are strong-willed, some are laidback, and most fall somewhere in the middle.

As with all dogs, Portuguese Water Dogs need early socialization--exposure to many different people, sights, sounds, and experiences--when they're young. Socialization helps ensure that your Portie puppy grows up to be a well-rounded dog.
