The Future of Hunter

I have been breeding Portuguese Water Dogs since 1986. Our puppies are raised at home where family and friends help socialize them. Puppies learn about the outdoors as soon as weather allows.

As with any breed, PWD's are not exempt from hereditary health problems. When someone purchases a puppy, it becomes an integral part of the family. Puppies should be whelped from a sire and dam that have been certified by the Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) to be free of hip disorders. They should also be certified by the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) to be free of eye problems. Our selective breeding standards have eliminated the need to test our puppies for GM-1 Gangliosidosis (storage disease) a nervous system disorder and also PRCD PRA and JDCM. Breeding stock are gene tested for GM-1 and PRA and marker tested for JDCM prior to breeding to ensure we will not produce either problem.
