Portuguese Water Dog

Also known as the Algarvian Water Dog and Portuguese Fishing Dog, these curly-haired friends are at home in the water! Their single-layered hair-like coats keep them warm as they fetch and carry for fishermen. They were bred to bring in nets and even HERD fish into them. The coat is similar to a poodle coat and therefore popular for people looking for a low-shed dog. They've recently gained American popularity on the heels of Bo and Sunny - two Portuguese Water Dogs owned by Barack and Michelle Obama!
