my PWD is 6 months old but he doesnt really like the water, and he have a pool, and the beach right near use i walk him too but he doesnt go in, any tips?
I recommend starting them off at the beach or river...any place with a gradual entrance to water. Mine wasn't fond of the pool due to the STEP entrance. If you walk in I am sure the dog will soon follow you into the water. When they are young they want to be with you always. Vito followed me fly fishing and wading in streams and has gotten other dogs to follow him in. I often go in the ocean with him and hold him when he is tired, then head him back towards shore.
This is my favorite PWD video. You are so funny. Our Noah is a male wavy. He is 8 years old and he looks like Vito's twin. PWD owners are so cool. I was blown awy when I read that he was 12. He is beautiful and you are a crazy lady how you talk to him. Well, we talk to Noah the same way! Thanks for sharing this video. It means a lot to me! Feel free to check out our crazy PWDs. They are the best!
i just can't resist that face, lol. reminds me of my dog, she's much smaller but her grandma or grandpa was a water dog, she's got that same expression.
I was watching this, and my own PWD started looking around for the birdie and the kitty. - too funny! We say the same thing to him when there's a critter in the backyard!
Well I don't talk like this to PEOPLE...but I guess I do talk baby talk to my dog..LOL. All the dogs seem to love it..I have no idea why, but they like being around me! :) thanks for the nice comment!
WE are getting our very first PWD in 3 weeks and we are so excited! We love Vito --- one of our favourites!

The way you talk to your dog is creepy. It doesn't look like he appreciates it either.

Oh my god, my mother says EXACTLY the same things to HER Portuguese Water Dog.
All the time, it's "Are you my good puppy? Are you a good girl? Are you my baby? Who's a good girl?
You're my baby, aren't you?" ... and more like that.
LOL!
My mom's is 4, & she weighs 47 pounds (no, she's not overweight, she's just very large for a female porty).
How much does Vito weigh?

Vito weghs 54 lbs. has gotten up to 60. They are heavy in the chest as they are powerful swimmers. In Nov '09 vito was 14!

I can't believe that Vito has over 2 THOUSAND views on this video alone. He has a following - that's for sure.
