Right about this time last year, a new president was about to make the White House his home. And not long after, a little portuguese water dog named Bo followed.
The Top Dog Walk team wondered just what it was like to own one of these interesting breeds. We hadn't ever actually met a PWD before. But we knew someone who owned one.
That's when we met up with our friend, Hannah, and her PWD Tilly to create the first in a series of "Owning a...[fill in the breed]" videos to help inform the public about what it was truly like to own a particular breed of dog.
The series has taken a little break, but while we get started again with new breeds on the roster, we figured we'd take a look back on the breeds we've covered so far. Starting with...you guessed it...The Portuguese Water Dog:

Baby Doggy Gates
Having little ones...with four legs...can be challenging in a number of ways. Just like a human baby, these furry babies can get into a lot of trouble. That's why we put up a (real) baby gate.
Our big Weimaraner, James, has a leg condition that should be closely monitored - that means no going up and down stairs. To prevent him, as well as our little one, from doing so, we put a baby gate in place. Vesper models it off here:
It's a great brand "Dream Baby" that, like many gates, can be adjusted to fit spaces of varying size. All you have to do is order extensions. Here, we've used three.
While we prefer the ease and simplicity of the latch system on ours (slide latch + lift up to open, plus it automatically swings shut), we loved the sleek design from one of our excellent clients:
This model costs a bit more, but gets top marks from us for it's solid design.
We have another client who preferrs using a decorative garden-gate. It's very simple, serves the same purpose as a baby gate, but blends much better with the interior design of her home.
So, it's really up to you - your personal tastes, desire for ease-of-use, and the design of your home all play a part in containing your babies. If you have any recommendations, send them along bark@topdogwalk.com
