The USS PWD Club is a Southeastern Regional Club sanctioned by the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America. It is made up of members interested in the Breed as pet owners as well as performance and conformation competitors. The Club's quest is to share the fun of the Breed while educating members to be the best owners possible and to encourage and promote quality in purebred Portuguese Water Dogs by do all that is possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection. Our Directors and Officers live through out the region so we can assist in what ever is needed for the Breed in their area.

   Our club holds annual CGC (Canine Good Citizen) evaluations dates are announced. AKC's Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program.

   We have a strong Rescue mission backed by the PWDCA [Rescue Program]. If you know of a PWD in need of rescue or re-homing please help to insure it's safety and contact rescue. Club members are asked to participate in saving our breed and contacting our southern rescue coordinator Meg DeFore Megd4@aol.com.

The PWDCA will be presenting the PWD breed to the public at the Eukanuba Meet the Breeds in Orlando Saturday and Sunday, December 17 & 18 from 10:00-4:00
If you would like to show your dog in the Meet the Breeds booth please contact me. Megd4@aol.com phone: 772-519-2585

Dogs as young as 4 months of age may participate. Ideally we should show dogs in pet and show trims, all colors and coat types. This event can be very noisy with crowds of people in sometimes close quarters. Please be sure your dog has a sound temperament and can be touched by people who may not have dog experience. Your dog will not have to be displayed the entire day. There is a crating area in the building so you can check out the rest of the events. Dogs not entered in the show events have limited access to the building.

I will also need volunteers to help set up the booth on Friday and help tear down Sunday after 4:00
I encourage you to check out the event. Working dogs will be shown on Sunday.
