The Portuguese Water Dog for centuries
played an integral part of the lives of Portuguese fishermen, they
were trained to retrieve things in the water, such as nets, overboard
tackle and even herd fish into the nets.
They are highly intelligent and easy to train, but need firm not
harsh training from an early age, to avoid stubborn streaks developing,
as they can be self-willed at time.
