He is certainly a cutie. Wasn't he a gift from someone???

 

[Sittingduck]

Are those trainer-liners it's wearing on it's front feet?

 

[Mr Pig]

Cute dog. Looks daft as a brush though.

All those journalists and the dog didn't pee on one of them! What kind of dog is that!? My dog would have had them splattered and scattered....

 

[punkypossum]

He's not tho, according to good old wiki....

I was waiting for them to let it off the lead. I would've done that.

Cue lots of people who wouldn't normally think of having a dog try to hunt down breeders of Portuguese water dogs.

I think they are rare enough for a lot of folk to give up when they find they have to wait 6 months.

Graham Norton said last night, the dog had spent a whole day in the White House and not made one 'toileting error', which was better than George W...

Just think about squeezing its anal glands on a regular basis. That will soon put you off getting one.

 

[puddleglum]

i ha ve had several dogs, but have never had to squeeze an anal gland....
should i have done?

Nor me! I'd leave that to the vet. I believe it is only certain breeds??

 

[Headgardener]

Can't believe that between 50 and 100 journalists want to take a picture of a dog. Sad muppets.

Do you mind, I'm eating my cornflakes!

The puppy was a gift from Ted Kennedy, btw.
