I had a smile on my face looking at the photos,
I would call it a "Puddle of Portuguese Water Dogs"
See Yea George xxx
HA HA HA
What a great post!!!! :)
what a pawsome post~! :D
i say a group of portuguese water dogs is a CURL. :)
xo,
luna
What a wonderful list - we loved the congress one:)
How about a "Wave"?
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
That was an awesome post! I learned a lot! Thanks, my brain needed that!
Splash or crash maybe!
How about a waggle of Porties? Enjoyed the post....especially the congress. Which came first...the baboons or the government?
XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
I loves Luna's idea.....A curl!
Grreat post.....'cept for that possum one! Dem possums gives me many creeps!
MinnaK
We were going to say curl too!
What a fun post!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
That is a tough question! I've always said a "Glad" of Goldens, but don't know what to call yours!
Sam
I like George's idea. A puddle! LOL!
I hope you are coming to our Hawaii party. Hope to see you there!
That was so interesting. There were a few in there we didn't know. Like lizards and lounge. Now "lounge lizard" makes more sense but we had no idea. There are so many good ideas here. I like all of them - splash, curl, puddle wave, waggle, et al - all would work.
wags, Lola
Congress - BOL!!!
I think I have to agree with the OP Pack on this one - Wave.
Why, it's a Puddle of Porties, of course.
Why a posse of Porties, of course!
Actually my first thought was a group of PWDs would be called a challenge.
hehe, how fun!
I likes Curl or Wave!
Woofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae
I like Puddle - just because most of the others start with the same letter - there's a word for that, but it escapes my tired brain.
I have a cry of hounds - exception to the rule! g
a storm? a puddle? Oh lady, homework? yuk
Benny & Lily
How about a Wet Carpet!
Very Cute Post!
a group of portuguese water dogs is a lotta licks and woofs :D
Love this post! The baboons made me laugh. I like a puddle of PWD's as well. It fits quite nicely!
x
Love the post! I didn't know they had such great descriptions for such groups.
I'm in favour of waggle of PWDs.
T
How about a whole lotta love! Great post!
I'm loving puddle, but splash is a better fit for your active group!
We vote for your group to be called "Trouble"!! Just kidding! HEHEHEHE!!!
Really enjoyed this post. I like "splash" or "puddle."
i think this is a very clever post. my vote is simple: a lotsalove of portuguese dogs
we think a group of any kind of dogs is WONDERFUL.
woofs.
TROUBLE!
Slobbers,
Mango
