There are a number of different stories of how the growler got its verbal sounding name. Some stories say it was from the hungry sounds coming from stomachs of people eager to open the brew-filled container. Others say it was the sound the metal pails would make after being opened the first time. Whatever the case, today's growlers sound like most other beer-toting vessels, making the "pssssstt" sound when opened.

Are Portuguese water dogs good at guarding?

From my personal experience I would say, "No". They are friendly and usually like almost everyone. I would not use this breed to guard my personal property as they are not barkers or growlers. They are also not meant to be left alone for extended periods. It isn't in their nature to be aggressive if you are looking for that in a dog.
