We are a small family run hobby breeder in Grand Island, New York. We have two young daughters and did a great deal of research looking for the right dog for our family. We found that Portuguese Water Dogs have so much to offer and were exactly what we were looking for.

The Portuguese Water Dog is a water-loving, lively but sensible, and loyal dog. They are fun, family-loving, high spirited and need daily physical and mental exercise. They require extensive training the first year to make them civilized and well behaved family members.

They are excellent with children and usually get along with other dogs and pets without any problems. Portuguese Water Dogs are a breed that work with their mouth, which makes them extreme chewers and biters, so they must be supervised around children. They are house dogs who love the outdoors. They live for "HUMAN" companionship and do NOT do well being left alone. The Portuguese Water Dog breed is not for a working family.
