Portuguese Water Dog
The Portuguese Water Dog was originally bred to work with sailors and fishermen doing various tasks at sea. The development of modern seafaring devices such as the radar and radio communications caused the dogs to become displaced. In order to preserve the breed and its heritage, the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America, Inc. was formed in 1972. Timber Oaks is a proud member of the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America and strives to provide pure bred puppies for fine family homes, obedience and show.
