temperament

The Portie is a fun, loving and intelligent breed.  They make excellent pets with children, other dogs and animals.  They love to spend time with their family, whether playing outdoors or cuddling on the couch. 

Exercise

The Portie is an athletic, active breed and will do best with an active family.  They love to run, play and swim.  Fetch is a favorite game whether on the ground or in the water.  ​They love to work which makes them easy to train... they want nothing more than to please their master. 

coat

 A Portie coat can be a wavy or a curly.  They have a single layer coat with little to no shedding making them basically hypo-allergenic and great for an allergy sufferer.   I would suggest regularly brushing and bathing as they love this and the time spent with you.  Grooming is owner specific as to the length you prefer.  I suggest maybe four times a year.

   Size

The Portie is a medium sized dog.  The males are typically 20-22", 40-50 lbs and the females are typically 18-20", 35-45 lbs.
