Lakecrew PWDs

PWD Characteristics

Positive characteristics common to the breed:

PWDs are fluffy and cute. They have soft coats that feel good to caress, and they actively enjoy being petted.
PWDs are loving and very playful. They retain that puppy-like behavior as adults and love to fetch.
PWDs love being with people. They have been referred to as "velcro dogs" because they stick tight to their owners.
Many are smart and have a sense of humor.
Once introduced to strangers, they are generally friendly.

Negative characteristics common to the breed:

Those soft long coats require lots of grooming. Weekly brushing and combing is required. If you do not stay on top of the grooming, your PWD will become a knotted nightmare.
They are "mouthy" - carrying and chewing objects, which may include the hundred dollars bills they've fished out of your wallet while you were busy elsewhere.
They tend to be rowdy when young and are exuberant jumpers - knocking people and objects over.
They are smart but, unlike some breeds, are NOT that interested in pleasing their owners.
PWDs are easily aroused and their high-intensity, reactive behavior is often uninhibited. As a result, they can be "too much" for a lot of people and other dogs.
