This breed is renowned for its curly hair and excellent swimming ability. Initially, such dogs were bred in Portugal and performed a number of important functions: they looked after the fish in the nets, the condition of the gear, and also served as couriers delivering mail from ship to ship. In the 1930s, the breed was on the brink of extinction until a wealthy Portuguese businessman began a breeding program. Nevertheless, at the moment, the Water Dog remains an extremely rare species.
