Eusébio is a Portuguese Waterdog of the Nadarium breed. He is named after the fabulous football player, Eusébio da Silva Ferreira from Mosambique, playing for Portugal. He was also called the black “the black pearl” or “O Rei” (the king). He played for Benfica. In the World Cup in 1966 he was the top scorer with 9 goals. 

From the American Kennel club: “The bright and biddable Portuguese Water Dog was bred to be an all-around fisherman’s helper. The robust, medium-sized body is covered by a coat of tight, low-shedding curls. PWDs are eager and athletic companions built for water work.The Portuguese Water Dog is super-smart and very ‘biddable’, meaning he’s easy to train and eager to please. The PWD can be groomed in two styles: The retriever clip (the entire coat is clipped to one inch in length, with the tail tip at full length) or the more check-me-out lion clip, where the coat is on the hindquarters and muzzle is clipped down to the skin.”

Eusébio is a very happy dog, and a dog full of energy. He likes different activities.
