決める前に知っておくこと

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

CriticalVelcro Dog & Separation Anxiety

PWDs were bred to work on small fishing boats alongside their masters all day. They follow you into the bathroom and may develop severe separation anxiety if left alone 8+ hours. Prone to demand barking and whining if ignored.

ChallengeSevere Mouthiness & Nipping

As a retriever breed, they interact with the world through their mouths. PWD puppies are notoriously 'nippy' and oral—this is not aggression but can be painful and frightening for young children.

ChallengeThe 'Portie Greeting'

This breed is famous for dancing on hind legs and jumping up to greet faces. While charming to some, it's a significant fall risk for elderly owners or small children.

CriticalNon-Negotiable Grooming Costs

Professional grooming every 6-8 weeks at $100-150 is mandatory, not optional. Neglecting this leads to severe matting that damages skin and requires shave-down.
