Deyanne Miller and a group of people with a common interest, the Portuguese Water Dog, formed the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America in 1972.  Their objective then and ours now, was to perpetuate the breed and its standard.  Their goal was, as our goal is now, to encourage and promote quality in the breeding of purebred Portuguese Water Dogs by developing and maintaining their conformation, disposition as companions, and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection.

For more information concerning the PWDCA, please reference it's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, Code of Ethics, and Policy and Procedures Manual, all found in the club "Documents" section.
