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.

An estimated 28 percent of Quebecois households include at least one dog, while about 10 percent include one cat and one dog. That puts Quebec’s total dog population at just over one million—and most of them are rescued. Top dog hiking trails in the province include Monts Sourire et Petit Carcan and Mont Larose, and there are more in the Parc Nacional du Bic. If you’re a dogless dog-lover at the moment and need some canine interaction in your life, check out one of the many dog sledding excursions throughout the Laurentian Mountains!
The preferred dog breed of the Quebecois is the German Shepherd.
