A lion clip is a common cut for this dog's waterproof coat. This retriever clip is also common and shows off the curly coat.

Some dogs have a wavy coat that is also acceptable. Either way, the Portuguese Water Dog is a striking dog.

While the coat is hypoallergenic, it also requires regular maintenance. Something to keep in mind if you're considering getting one of these dogs.

Portuguese Water Dogs respond very well to training. Start them early, and you'll have a wonderful companion.
