I remember years ago, that when I was walking I met someone with a Portuguese Water Dog - really neat full grown dog and THAT was well before the White House person got one. Also a big surprise after ' he' said they wanted to adopt a special needs rescue dog.
The dog was really beautiful and I knew right off it wasn't a Poodle, so I had asked if it was a PWD. I also once saw a lady walking an Anatolian
and was surprised I was right about that also.
Used to show dogs, and work for a dog handler etc. but was 'out of it' before any of these breeds were introduced. Nowadays I'm lucky if I can remember my name.
I should mention I used to walk through several suburbs in a day - mostly well heeled areas so had the chance to meet breeds no one had 'back home. It was always a thrill.
So you used to show dogs? That's a hard job. We show our own dogs..
