The Portuguese Water Dog is a medium-sized, sturdy, and very agile dog with a wavy or curly coat. He is intelligent, energetic, brave, and highly eager to work with people. This is a working breed that thrives best with active owners, especially in environments where it gets plenty of exercise, tasks to perform, and access to water.
Advanced DNA analysis allows us to better understand the genetic predispositions specific to the breed and make more informed decisions about its health and care. The PetGen test analyzes genetic variants associated with the risk of hereditary and polygenic diseases that may be more common in representatives of the breed. The result provides valuable information about health predispositions, supporting prevention, diagnostic planning and daily care. It’s a tool that helps owners, breeders and veterinarians act earlier and more informed.
