Portuguese Water Dog Rescue

Is the White House Dog a Good Match for You?

Portuguese Water Dog popularity has soared since the Obama's added one to their family.

Portuguese Water Dog Rescues are beginning to see a spike in the number of PWD's in need of new homes. Unfortunately, when there is a rise in popularity of a particular breed, the dog becomes a trend instead of a long term family member.

When Bo moved in to the White House, the PWD's popularity soared. Some people wil rush out to buy a Portuguese Water Dog without making sure the breed is right for them. Others will see the breed as a money making opportunity. They will become irresponsible breeders and will soon be breeding and selling the puppies solely for profit without regards to the health or temperment of the dogs.

Historically, there has not been a need for many PWD rescue groups across the country because of the breeds relatively low popularity. However, there are groups out there now and as the popularity of the breed increases, so will the number of rescue groups.

Portuguese Water Dog Club of America provides assistance for the PWD at the national level. Contact this club and let them know you are interested in adopting a PWD and they should be able to help you find the right dog for you.

Portuguese Water Dogs can make fabulous additions to many families, but they are NOT for every family. If you have done your research on this breed and are certain that a PWD is the right match for your family, there is sure to be a PWD that needs your help.
