Welcome to our Club 

The Mayflower Portuguese Water Dog Club seeks to unite owners of Portuguese Water Dogs by offering workshops, lectures, get-togethers, and matches (conformation and obedience) to highlight the versatility of our breed and to help with unique issues the breed presents to their owners.  We are sanctioned by the national Portuguese Water Dog Club of America (PWDCA) and the American Kennel Club (AKC) to provide services to owners throughout the Northeast though primarily in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.


 Let us show you what fun you can have ...

This video gallery of Mayflower PWD Club members demonstrates only some of the activities and competitions available to all dog owners.  Come join us!
