Peek inside the kennel of your neighbourhood Portuguese Water Dog and don’t be surprised if you see a poster of Brenda Brown pinned to the wall. Brown has championed the breed in Canada since 1989 (before the Canadian Kennel Club conferred recognition). She has served as President of the Portuguese Water Dog Club of Canada (PWDCC), Secretary of the Alberta Portuguese Water Dog (APWDC) and is currently a Director of the Alberta Portuguese Water Dog Club. She’s also an agility competitor, representative and teacher. No surprise then that Brown’s pooch Mission was the #1 CKC Agility Dog in Canada in 2018, a first for the breed. And Mission is a senior! “Back on Track products make a huge difference to both myself and to Mission,” Brown says. “I utilize a Knee Brace (1105) to help with my arthritic knees. Mission stays competition-ready wearing his Dog Rug and travelling with his Dog Travel Mattress (3031). Recovery from competition is also important so my bed has a Mattress Overlay (1015) on it for both of our comfort.”
