We are a community of Portuguese Water Dog owners and lovers.

The Colorado Portuguese Water Dog Club (COPWDC) is a membership based club sanctioned by the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America (PWDCA) which represents family pet owners, owner-handlers, agility/tracking/obedience enthusiasts, water trial devotees, and breeders. Our common interest is our love of the Portuguese Water Dog. Our shared mission is bringing the natural qualities of the PWD to perfection through participation in water work, performance events, club social gatherings, educational programs and in presentation of breeding stock in the conformation ring.
