Lakecrew PWDs is located in Central Texas.  We are full members of the national breed club, the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America, and participate in the PWDCA Breeder Referral Program. 

We have been involved with PWDs since 2004, well before the breed had the misfortune to make national news when "Bo" was selected as "First Dog".

As PWD breeders, our mission is to produce high quality healthy PWDs and to make certain each puppy is placed in a home where it has the opportunity to excel - first and foremost as a companion, then perhaps as a performance and/or show dog.  We breed on a limited basis.

The Portuguese Water Dog is an old breed.  In the 1500's, this well-balanced web-footed working dog was prized by Portuguese fishermen as a helper, courier, guard dog, and companion.  Modern dogs in the breed retain the character of their ancestors: hard-working and easily bored, loyal to their family, and sometimes overly defensive toward outsiders.

PWDs are cute, playful, and loving.  They can also be willful, demanding, and rowdy.  A few other typical PWD characteristics.  For some, the negatives may outweigh the positives.  There are certainly other attractive, less challenging breeds that should be considered by first-time dog owners.

We strongly encourage those considering buying a Portuguese Water Dog to educate themselves enough about the breed to determine whether a PWD would be a good match for their family and lifestyle.

If you are curious about the breed chosen by President Obama for his family's canine pet, or think you might be interested in getting a Portuguese Water Dog, we suggest that you start here!
