Trained as ship dogs for Portuguese sailors many centuries ago, the Portuguese Water Dog is a cold-tolerant, intelligent and active breed. Originally responsible for retrieving items from the sea, herding fish into nets and carrying messages between boats, the Water Dog has boundless strength and energy. These dogs love spending time outdoors with family, whether on a camping trip, a mountain hike or at the lake. Adult Portuguese Water Dogs weigh between 35 and 60 pounds.

Delaware State Parks are dog-friendly, so you can bring your best furry friend for a hike in your home state anytime you like. Dogs are also allowed on many of Delaware’s beautiful beaches, though often according to an annual schedule. Rehoboth Beach, for example, welcomes canine visitors between the months of October and April. Check out Elsmere’s dog park when your dog could do with a social visit, and play together on the agility training equipment. Residents and visitors alike will enjoy stopping by the pet-friendly cafés, breweries, pubs, and dog parks available in this picturesque state! You and your dog can even see a movie together at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand
