The Portuguese Water Dog is a breed of working dog as classified by the American Kennel Club. Portuguese Water Dogs are originally from the Portuguese region of the Algarve from where the breed expanded to all around Portugal's coast where they were taught to herd fish into fishermen's nets to retrieve lost tackle or broken nets and to act as couriers from ship to ship or ship to shore.
