Dogs In The Working Group

The Portuguese Water Dog is another member of the Working Group that is quite at home in the water.  Their coat is waterproof and they have the stamina to swim all day long.  Their coat may be wavy or curly; and range in colors from black, white, or brown.  The Portuguese Water Dog is not only a swimmer but a diver as well.  In  the past while accompanying fishermen, they would dive into the water and retrieve fish nets, herd fish into nets, and simply dive for fish.  The Portuguese Water Dog was recognized by AKC in 1983.
