Our Current Dogs

Showing, Competing and Breeding Portuguese Water Dogs is our hobby…NOT a full time business.  Our dogs are first and foremost our family pets.  We choose to keep a small number of dogs so we can give them the quality of life we feel they deserve.  We’re proud of our dogs and their accomplishments and look forward to you learning more!
