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.

Dogs and their human companions are welcome all over Kentucky, from the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington to Dinosaur World in Cave City. Whether you’re in the Bluegrass State for business, pleasure, or because it’s your full-time home, you can rest assured there are plenty of fun ways to spend time there with your dog. Start with a popular dog park, such as the one at Highland Hills Park in Fort Thomas, and then get your own special treat at one of Kentucky’s canine-friendly pubs. This state is also home to the Bluegrass Classic and the Kentuckiana Cluster of Dog Shows!
The most popular dog breed in Kentucky is the Beagle.
Kentucky’s own Treeing Walker Coonhound, a local breed from the 1800s, is a favourite to become the official state dog.
