Boomer, the Dog of the Day
Name: Boomer
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Portuguese Water Dog
Home: Northridge, California, USA
 
   This is Boomer. He is a five-year-old Portuguese Water Dog from Northridge, CA. Boomer was the biggest of his litter and brought along his little brother, Rocky, when he joined our family in November 1993. They were lucky to have survived the 1994 Northridge earthquake when they were just pups.

    Things around here haven't been the same since. Boomer & Rocky swim every day and keep each other amused with lots of playtime in the back yard. They are very smart and lately have enjoyed learning agility training. Portuguese Water Dogs are active, affectionate, fun-loving dogs who make new friends for their breed wherever they go.

    While Rocky may be the "alpha" dog, Boomer is the big, friendly lover-boy who enjoys nothing more than a ride in car on Sunday mornings to the bagel store. If you've never seen a Portie before, Boom is a pretty good example of what the breed is supposed to look like. Boomer is one special dog!
