The PWDCA Water Trials are based
on the traditional work that the dogs did on fishing boats in Portugal.
While most of the exercises require training, they also use the dogs
natural instincts to work, swim and retrieve
If you've trained your dog to for basic household manners you can do
water work. There are water trials all over the country, and it's
an opportunity to meet other active PWD owners, as well as prove your,
and your dogs skills.
If you know what you are looking for we have a list
of all the equipment.
You'll find the official water trial rules
at the PWDCA
(Portuguese Water Dog Club of America) site. (This
