Welcome to Afortunado Portuguese Water Dogs! In Portuguese, "afortunado" means lucky and that is exactly how we feel to be involved in this breed. Portuguese Water Dogs are highly intelligent, strong-willed, independent thinkers that have a need to be near their people. They have a wonderful sense of humor, a will to please their owner and a strong working drive.
Portuguese Water Dogs were originally bred to help the Portuguese fisherman on a daily basis, so their working drive is strong. These dogs are no couch potatoes! They are always up for a walk or a game of ball. They make wonderful performance competitors in agility, tracking, obedience, conformation or waterwork. Most importantly, our puppies become a loving, integral part of the family.
Our passion at Afortunado is to raise the occasional litter in a home environment, providing exposure to many different sights and experiences. The goal is to raise well adjusted, confident puppies that we can place with the right owners.
Over the years, we have made many new friends as these tiny bundles of love have been placed with families across the country. We believe a strong support system for all new puppy owners to be a serious responsibility and an integral part of our breeding program. The moment our puppies are born, we make a commitment to ensure their well-being for life and are always available to answer questions or address concerns.
Feel free to browse our site and learn more about Portuguese Water Dogs, meet our dogs and learn more about our dog rearing philosophies. Learn what it means when our mentors, Ann and Colville Jackson, would talk about the joys and the power of "Portuguese Love". We think it is one of the most precious gifts in the world.
