Everything You Need to Know About Portuguese Water Dogs (Part 1)

[@mrkinla]

A neighbor of mine passes my home on their daily walk. I thought the dog was beautiful and I inquired of the breed. His is black and white. What a stunner!

[@brockvilleboomerangclub5528]

Awesome dogs. Our boy Oscar is a text book Portie. Smart, strong, mischievous, always happy and looking to please. Never wants his owner out of eye sight....and a bit bossy. He did not however take to crate training as the separation anxiety was too much. I type this with a 60lb dog sprawled on me, lying on his back, enjoying a snooze before more rambunctious exercise.

[@TalentHounds]

Aww- Yes they LOVE their owners.

[@abrahamlgrans3144]

Hello dear, how's your day going?

[@HS-gt1qf]

So true!!!

[@aldaal5499]

I have a PWD I adopted her from a dog shelter in China. I searched for this video as mine no longer has a tail and I wanted to see how it wiggles :) thanks for the information!

[@fligthxgaming8398]

I might be getting one are they friendly to other dog breeds

[@dippertheservicepupintrain1537]

Thank you for making this video! While a PWD isn't the breed for me im doing research on them because my therapist wants an "Australian labradoodle" but im trying to persuade her for a more reputably bred and sorced dog and so far the PWD matches everything she wants in a doodle

[@Alvaro-em1dj]

Didnt know my country had such beautiful breeds!!

[@natachalobato5568]

Same

[@0x926]

I used to have two of them. They are the most incredible dogs I’ve ever seen, and were truly family to me. I’d recommend no other breed 😄

[@DanReinfoma]

It’s about the only beautiful thing about your country

[@AdrianDasdasi]

WHAT

[@goncalodias264]

Dan Reinfoma so funny

[@lasharonbrown9454]

Looking for a PWD. Grew up with dogs. I’ve been without a dog for over 30 years really need one now!

[@h.s.9465]

I have a black and white PWD with curly hair. I don't brush it much since it will just get frizzy and then it will matt more easily. I just trim it short for summer and let it grow when it gets colder.

[@icalrox]

I love my pwd Zsu Zsu. She is just AWESOME!!!❤️🐶❤️

[@TalentHounds]

yay

[@yourboicris3109]

I just adore them

[@ThatOneWeirdGal]

Aww...who's a little biscuit!!!

[@cmarq817]

Just a little clarification. The story you told about a monk happened in Medieval times (1297), not 1900s.

[@TalentHounds]

thank you

[@fuexiong88]

I would love one if I can find a breeder in Minnesota

[@charlieboox4175]

Who else is watching with their water dog

[@TalentHounds]

I just rewatched with Buster LOL

[@luiscosta6487]

Don't forget they are well known as shadow dogs, they will follow you everywere inside your house. And they are known as talking dogs too.

[@TalentHounds]

so true.

[@virginianatalie2879]

I want one!!!! 🥰

[@renegadeace1735]

I want a tuxedo Portuguese water dog.

[@videogazer801]

Do Portuguese Water Dogs suffer from separation anxiety or do they do well when left at home alone?

[@carllove3705]

I saw one of these dogs at the park today in Buckeye Arizona, which is what drew me to search for this video. It was a beautiful dog. The video stated that these dogs can be susceptible to genetic diseases. What kind of genetic problems can be expected with this breed?

[@triggerxx9760]

My dog is 14 years old and it started to get cyst on his body

[@clarencebrown5946]

[@KoolMada]

There are more colors of these dogs as well.

[@triggerxx9760]

Yup my dog grey

[@0x926]

One of mine was light brown and white

[@izaig9249]

It said they are intelligent I think mines broken then

[@seleversilever3128]

Ditto

[@Lexohhbeats]

they seem similar to poodles except stronger more muscular

[@LUNANOVAPWDS]

It would have been courteous if the maker of this video had asked my permission before using a photo of one of my puppies in the video.

[@TalentHounds]

Hannah who works with me made the video. Her family got her much-loved beautiful puppy featured in the video from you and she just told me she asked you and you said yes? Happy to credit you in the desciption. I went and subscribed to your channel btw. Susie

[@LUNANOVAPWDS]

Oh, thank you for explaining that!

[@LUNANOVAPWDS]

I’m still a little confused about who Hannah is? I don’t think I’ve ever sold a puppy to someone by that name?

[@TalentHounds]

@@LUNANOVAPWDS Her parents have 2. You can see them in the video. The family name is Voss. They live in Cambridge like you.

[@aztxtransport2776]

Where can i find a Portuguese w dog? Live in houston

[@TalentHounds]

I know a breeder who commented above in Canada and one in Minnesota if helpful but not in Texas.

[@segerslisa]

I'm I the same situation...did you find one?

[@AP-wu1rv]

I want a giant fluffer🥺😭

[@blu_e1910]

My friend has a water dog

[@getwokim7920]

예쁘다!!

[@Jason-kg4rs]

Would they be any good at retrieving ducks?

[@TalentHounds]

I think other breeds are better.

[@theyounghypeannouncer2720]

Are they super super good with little kids

[@TalentHounds]

The ones I know are super friendly but they are quite big and energetic so may be better with older kids.

[@JasonEdgarKiwi]

Your commentary audio stopped after about 3 minutes

[@TheUKRifter]

Jason Edgar thats great Jason... bye 👋

[@TalentHounds]

Thanks for letting me know- not sure when that happened - how frustrating- I'll see if I can get it fixed.

[@abrahamlgrans3144]

Hello there, how's your day going?

[@segerslisa]

Been looking for a porti doodle due to needing a bit smaller in size. Any insight from anyone? Please....looking for input.....

[@lauravalente4839]

they can also be all white

[@brightphoebesays]

WHy are purebed dogs more vulnerable to genetic defects and illnesses than mixed breeds? I thought an un-tampered-with older breed would be healthier...

[@TalentHounds]

I think it depends on the breeders and the breed. Most responsible breeders are very concerned about the health of their pups and avoid inbreeding and genetic issues as far as possible. However Backyard breeders and puppy mills usually do not.
