Product Description

Product Description

The Portuguese Water Dog′s storybook return from the brink of extinction is faithfully documented in this first new edition of the breed′s bible. There is also a wealth of guidance on care, puppies, showing, performance events and more –– and, oh those photos.


From the Back Cover

From Uncharted Waters to Safe Harbor
When The Complete Portuguese Water Dog first appeared in 1986, it may have appeared like a voyage into uncharted waters to publish a book on a breed that had so recently faced the specter of complete extinction. In spite of the risks, the book was published, thrived and became the prime reference in the English language for this gallant canine sailor. As the assets of the Cão d′Áqua became known to an ever–widening circle of friends, the book became ever more important as a learning tool. However dogs change, people change and events change ongoing history. Eventually, even the greatest book will benefit from a revision; so it is with this book.

Now The New Complete Portuguese Water Dog reprises the great milestones in the breed and documents the momentous progress the Portuguese Water Dog has made over the past decade. This edition tells the story of the once obscure breed that now has found safe haven in homes, show rings and performance arenas wherever fine dogs bring pleasure.

In The New Complete Portuguese Water Dog, author Kathryn Braund salutes the dogs in the limelight and also discusses the essentials of puppy and adult care, health issues, breeding, grooming, training for Obedience, Agility and Water Trials and gives fascinating insights into the "Portie" in other countries. In every way this exciting, new edition is a "must have" for every owner and admirer of this distinctive breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Definitive Guide to PWD's--Absolutely the Best!, 10 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Absolutely wonderful and thorough guide--this is the PWD "Bible". Packed with facts, geneology, and history, as well as caring for your dog, this book is a must-have for any Portuguese Water Dog owner or fan. Not only is it well-written by a foremost expert of the breed, it is loaded with wonderful pictures of all colors, types, and examples of PWD's. A definite 5-star rating for this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about an excellent topic!, 13 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Kitty has done it again! This book is worth every penny you will pay for it and then some. The pictures of PWD's alone are fabulous and the information in the book is accurate and valuable.
