Precious Portuguese Water Dogs

All of our puppies are hand raised with lots of TLC in a loving family environment. We spend a lot of time socializing and playing with babies. All my adults are all AKC/CKC registered and have excellent bloodlines with champions in most of their pedigrees. We strive to meet AKC standards and we are always trying to better the breed.

All our dogs are DNA Health tested through Embark.

We’ve been a PWD breeder for 19years. And have loved every minute.
All of my newborns are whelped in my home, with me right there from start to finish helping bring them into the world. And are raised with my family making them healthy, happy, lovable and well socialized Portie. Vaccinations and worming are always up to date and AKC/CKC Limited or full Registration and Parent copies of Pedigrees are provided upon request to our new puppy parents If full registration is purchased. Puppy care sheet and vaccination schedule/record are provided with each puppy.

In order to offer these amazing puppies to PWD pet lovers worldwide, we created Precious Portuguese Water Dogs. This allowed us to connect with people across the world looking to own this type of adorable puppies. We then developed a fast and efficient adoption process, where clients could easily find their dream puppy, place a deposit, then have the dog shipped directly to them by a pet-friendly airline. To help create the best adoption experience for our customers, we offer top class customer service from helping you select the perfect Portie for you, to helping facilitate The Adoption and Purchase process every step the way!

We genuinely enjoy the smiles that we bring to new Portie owners every time they receive their lovable puppy, which is why we are committed to providing these delightful little puppies to owners around the world in a simple, hassle-free manner

General Appearance
Though the Portuguese water dog’s lineage goes back almost 800 years, making their origins somewhat murky, experts think of Poodle as the breed’s closest genetic cousin. It makes a lot of sense when you see them; the two breeds have a lot of similar characteristics. The Portuguese water dog’s coat comes in two varieties: Curly or wavy. In both cases, the hair is medium to long and single-coated. The coat comes in shades of brown, tan, black, and white, with the latter being the rarest by a hefty margin. Some Portuguese water dogs will have bi- or even tri-colored coats, with black and tan being the most common. Another common coloration is for either all black and all brown varieties to sport a splash of white on their chins (referred to as “milk chin”).
