Portuguese Water Dog
Portuguese Water Dogs (35-60 pounds) are intelligent, energetic, and affectionate, great for active families. They’re excellent with kids but may be lively for toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, swimming or agility) is crucial; their curly coat needs regular clipping.
Feed 2-3 cups daily of Royal Canin Medium Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, with 25% protein for their energy and coat health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with space, they adapt to apartments with exercise.
Training curbs exuberance. Perfect for water-loving households, PWDs thrive with grooming and activity, not for low-energy or low-maintenance homes.
