Here's what the humans have to say about me:
COACH***CONTACT SHELLY lovedogs.rescue@gmail.com COACH--WOW!! "ONE HAPPY--FUN--DROP DEAD GORGEOUS--LIFE IS GOOD" PUPPY!! COACH IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, 5 1/2-6 MO. OLD, 40 LB. PUREBRED PORTUGUESE WATER DOG!! NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE, THIS FELLOW GOES WAY BEYOND PRETTY!!! THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE COACH HE WILL STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS HE IS THAT BEAUTIFUL. HIS COAT IS CUDDLE SOFT, CASCADES OF SPARKLING "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK CURLS, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB THIS LITTLE FELLOW ALL DAY WHICH AS MUCH AS HE LOVES ATTENTION AND AFFECTION THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. ANOTHER PLUS IS HIS COAT IS HYPO-ALLERGENIC AND DOESN'T SHED!! HIS EYES WILL TRULY MAKE YOU MELT, THEY ARE A WARM, RICH, DEEP, HONEY COLOR WITH A MELT YOUR HEART "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION, IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. THEY TRULY SEEM TO SPARKLE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN COACH FIRST SEES YOU. HE IS ALSO A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT PUP, REGAL WITH PERFECT BODY CONFIRMATION. THIS BEAUTIFUL FELLOW SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAMED "HAPPY" BECAUSE BOY IS HE. TRUE TO THE PORTUGUESE WATER DOG HE HAS A GLOWING TEMPERAMENT AND DISPOSITION, A WONDERFUL OUTGOING PERSONALITY. COACH JUST THINKS THAT EVERYONE HE MEETS SHOULD STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND COME PLAY WITH HIM NOW!!!. HE IS LOYAL, LIVELY, ANIMATED, AMUSING, A FUN TO BE AROUND FELLOW!! THIS PUP NEVER MEETS A STRANGER, FROM CHILDREN(WHICH HE ADORES) TO SENIORS, JUST CALL HIS NAME AND STRAIGHT TO YOU HE'S COMING, EYES SPARKLING, TAIL WAGGING, OR IN COACH'S CASE HIS WHOLE BODY WIGGLES. JUST GIVE COACH A PAT, A BALL OR A TOY TO PLAY WITH AND NOW HE HAS OFFICIATELY ADOPTED "YOU" AS HIS NEW BEST BUDDY!!! HE COULD ALSO BE CALLED "MR. SOCIAL" AS HE ADORES EVERY DOG HE MEETS, HIS SIZE OR THREE TIMES AS LARGE DOESN'T MATTER TO COACH JUST AS LONG AS THEY WILL PLAY AND COACH CAN ROMP AND PLAY WITH THE BEST OF THEM!!! YOU COULD TAKE THIS "LIFE IS GOOD" FELLOW ANYWHERE AND HE WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD, JUST GET USE TO BEING STARED AT WHEN FOLKS SEE COACH--HE IS A SHOW STOPPER!!!! WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS JUST FINE WITH COACH JUST AS LONG AS HE GETS TO GO!!! HE WOULD LOVE AN EARLY MORNING TRIP TO THE PARK, JUST A CHANCE TO MEET A NEW PLAY BUDDY, IF IT WAS YOUR DAY TO TAKE THE CHILDREN TO SCHOOL DON'T LET COACH HEAR YOU JINGLE YOUR KEYS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON TAKING HIM ALONG. JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR IN COACH WILL HOP NOW TAKE OFF!!!! COACH DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE'S GOING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER TO HIM, IF HE'S WITH YOU HE'S HAPPY!!!! IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS BOY IS COACH READY. HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, PLAYING BALL, RETRIEVING ANY STICK YOU THREW HIM AND IF THERE WAS ANY WATER AROUND THIS PUP LIVES UP TO HIS NAME "WATER DOG", YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A DOG THAT LOVES WATER MORE THEN COACH!!! AS THE PORTUGUESE WATER DOG IS NATIVE TO PORTUGAL AND IS CALLED "CAO DE AQUA(DOG OF WATER)!! IF YOU BROUGHT ALONG A FEW FRIENDS AND THEIR PUPS FOR THE WEEKEND COACH WOULD BE THE PERFECT HOST!!! COACH WOULD ALSO BE A TERRIFIC WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY, HE IS A PUP WITH GREAT STAMINA, WHO NEEDS AND THRIVES WITH DAILY EXERCISE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SLOW MOTION, LAID BACK, SLEEP ALL DAY KIND OF DOG BETTER KEEP LOOKING AS THERE IS NOTHING "SLOW MOTION" ABOUT COACH. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS GREAT PUP'S PACKAGE--COACH IS SOOOOO SMART!!! THE PORTUGUESE WATER DOG BREED IS BRAVE, KEENLY AWEAR, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, TRAINABLE, KEEN TO WORK AND QUICK TO LEARN AND THIS IS COACH. COACH IS ALWAYS AWEAR ON WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HIM. ANYTHING YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO HE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES!!!! HE IS A PUP THAT IS EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH BUT MOST OF ALL DELIGHTS IN PLEASING, A PUP WHO LIKES TO HAVE A JOB TO DO!!! THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS PUP IS HUGE!!! COACH IS SUCH A HAPPY, FUN, LOVING PUPPY!! IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO MAKE COACH HAPPY A FEW DOZEN TENNIS BALLS, SOME SQUEAKY TOYS, THEN ADD A TON OF HUGS, KISSES, TRAINING, LOVE AND YOU HAVE ONE VERY HAPPY FELLOW!!!! ALTHOUGH COACH DOES HAVE EVERY TRAIT YOU COULD EVER WANT IN A FAMILY COMPANION THE THING HE WANTS MOST IS TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. ALL HE IS ASKING IS FOR A SOFT BED TO CUDDLE UP ON AT NIGHT, A KISS AND TO HEAR THE WORDS "COACH WE LOVE YOU" SPOKEN BY HIS FAMILY AND COACH WILL CLOSE THOSE GORGEOUS EYES, THUMP HIS TAIL, DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP AND YOU CAN BET HIS DREAMS INCLUDE ANOTHER TRIP TO THE PARK, THE MOUNTAINS, A CAR RIDE, SOME WATER OR SNOW TO PLAY IN AND TONS OF HUGS AND KISSES FROM HIS FAMILY!!!! THIS IS ONE EXPECTATIONAL PUPPY!!!!!
