For an overview and description of the Portuguese Water Dog, please visit the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America (PWDCA) web site. If you are considering a Portuguese Water Dog puppy, the PWDCA has very useful information for potential puppy buyers.
​
As a regional club, we strongly recommend meeting owners and their dogs to familiarize yourself with the breed. We have numerous events throughout the year, and encourage people to come out and join us. You can contact any of the board members listed below for more information.
