Characterized by its medium-sized, muscular build and waterproof, curly or wavy coat, this breed excels in water-based activities. Their coat, which is hypoallergenic, comes in black, white, or brown, and sometimes with markings. The breed is distinguished by its webbed feet, a unique trait that aids in efficient swimming. Portuguese Water Dogs are highly intelligent, responsive, and eager to please, making them trainable and well-suited for various dog sports and activities. They are known for their spirited and playful nature, forming strong bonds with their families and being good with children. These dogs require regular physical and mental stimulation to keep them happy. They thrive in active households where they can be part of daily activities and enjoy being close to their human companions. Regular grooming is needed to maintain their coat's condition. The Portuguese Water Dog's combination of energy, intelligence, and affection makes it an ideal companion for families seeking an active and engaging pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e certified American pewter, lead-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-finished in Port Gamble, Washington, USA, from a line of pewter jewelry crafted in America since 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it lead-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
