About the Book

A revolutionary new look into everything "Portie"; a MUST-READ that includes practical tips, tricks, and insights to help a new (or veteran) Portuguese Water Dog owner.


Author Jordan Honeycutt used interviews with EIGHT top PWD breeders to create an in-depth look at what it REALLY takes to successfully live with, raise, and care for a Portuguese Water Dog.


"The PWD is an active, energetic, intelligent breed. They require daily exercise, such as long walks, playing Frisbee or fetch, hiking, or swimming. Mental stimulation in the form of training is very important in the first year. This breed has a true need to be an active member of the family. The PWD does not thrive in a home that is sedentary. A family that leads an active lifestyle and enjoys having their dog tag along makes the best PWD home." Jill Roudebush-Maritimo Portuguese Water Dogs


Covering all the PWD-specific topics you NEED TO KNOW, such as:

  • PWD History:
  • Learn about the origins of the Portuguese Water Dog. Witness the evolution of this extraordinary breed, from its rich past that traces back to the shores of Portugal. Originally bred as versatile working dogs by fishermen, these skilled companions navigated the high seas, diving fearlessly into turbulent waters to retrieve nets and even messages between ships.
  • Choosing a PWD:
  • When selecting the perfect Portuguese Water Dog for your family, consider their energy level and compatibility with your lifestyle. Whether you choose to adopt from a shelter or work with a reputable breeder, ensure that the dog's temperament and needs align with your family's dynamics and activity level for a harmonious and fulfilling companionship.
  • Prepare for Adventure:
  • Welcoming a PWD into your home involves creating a safe environment both indoors and outdoors, as these dogs are known for their love of water and energetic nature. Securely fence your yard and remove any hazardous objects, while also considering water safety measures. Indoors, be sure to puppy-proof your home by keeping valuable items out of reach and providing interactive toys to channel their energy, ensuring a smooth transition for both your family and the adventurous water-loving pup.
  • The Arrival:
  • In the first few weeks with a Portuguese Water Dog puppy, be prepared for their high energy levels, intelligence, and desire for social interaction. Engage them in stimulating activities, provide consistent training, and establish a routine to keep them mentally and physically engaged, fostering a strong bond and a well-behaved companion.
  • Successful Training:
  • When training a PWD puppy, leverage their intelligence, willingness to please, and natural affinity for water-related activities. Utilize positive reinforcement techniques, such as rewards and praise, and keep training sessions fun and engaging. Be consistent and patient, as this breed may exhibit a stubborn streak at times, requiring firm but gentle guidance to achieve desired results.
  • Make Potty Training Simple:
  • To successfully potty train a PWD puppy, emphasize positive reinforcement by rewarding them with treats, praise, and playtime when they eliminate in the appropriate spot. Avoid using negative reinforcement or punishment, as it can create fear and hinder the training process. Consistency, patience, and establishing a regular schedule for potty breaks are key to helping your puppy develop good bathroom habits.


Use this book as a go-to for all things Portuguese Water Dogs. From deciding if the breed is right for you, sourcing the right dog, grooming and care tips, training and so much more.
