Are Portuguese Water Dogs good with kids?

Yes, Portuguese Water Dogs are typically good with kids. Affectionate, playful, and energetic, these pups may be a touch too rambunctious for small children, though they make wonderful companions to active, older kids. Pet parents need to train Portuguese Water Dogs (and dogs of any breed) to behave gently with children and vice-versa. As with any breed, it’s important to supervise interactions between dogs and children to ensure a safe and positive relationship.
