Baker Lake Pride: Your Trusted Breeder of Portuguese Water Dogs

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question. We love talking about our dogs.

Are Portuguese Water Dogs Hypoallergenic?

PWD are a low to non-shedding breed. The term hypoallergenic is used in the dog breeding industry to promote this dog characteristic. If you, or someone in your family have dog allergies, it is recommended that you spend some time with an adult PWD to ensure you can tolerate the breed with your particular allergy. Send us an email and we can arrange a visit with one of our dogs.

Are they good swimmers?

Believe it or not, the Portuguese Water Dog does need to be taught to swim. They can be a little timid with new things and will look to their people to gain confidence when swimming. Once they gain the confidence, they have this skill for life.

How often will I need to get them groomed?

PWD do not shed (or shed very little) so they need to be groomed regularly. The frequency will depend on their coat , their lifestyle and your preference. At minimum, I would say every 12-16 weeks and more often depending on your preference. I groom my dogs myself and try to do it every 4-6 weeks.
