Trained as ship dogs for Portuguese sailors many centuries ago, the Portuguese Water Dog is a cold-tolerant, intelligent and active breed. Originally responsible for retrieving items from the sea, herding fish into nets and carrying messages between boats, the Water Dog has boundless strength and energy. These dogs love spending time outdoors with family, whether on a camping trip, a mountain hike or at the lake. Adult Portuguese Water Dogs weigh between 35 and 60 pounds.

An estimated 32 percent of New Jersey households include dogs, and the majority of these are found in the counties of Essex, Middlesex and Bergen. New Jersey’s favourite dog breeds are the Labrador Retriever, the Golden Retriever and the French Bulldog. Small breed favourites include the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the Dachshund and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. One of New Jersey’s classiest celebs, Martha Stewart, owns two French Bulldogs named Bete Noire and Creme Brûlée, plus three Chow Chows by the names of Genghis Khan, Peluche and Empress Chin. That’s on top of all her cats, birds, horses and donkeys!
