Congratulations to Mister for getting back in the show ring at the Dairyland Classic in Jefferson, WI, in the Veterans competition. At one month shy of his 11th birthday, our handsome boy took Best of Opposite Sex honors and earned his first leg in Masters Rally. Way to keep on showing, Mister!!
Mister is a substantial boy measuring 20.5 inches and weighing 62 lbs. He has a kind disposition with a working drive that can not be rivaled. True to this breed, Mister would rather be in the water than anywhere else. He does therapy work with Elementary school children twice a week. They all love him. He is the perfect blend of form and function having earned his Bronze Grand Championship (all owner handled), a National Specialty Award of Merit in 2012, a Regional Specialty Best of Breed in 2011, a Regional Specialty Award of Merit in 2010, one of the Top Twenty Portuguese Water Dogs in the country in 2010, multiple group placements and performance titles from every venue possible.
