I have become a new breeder of Portuguese Water Dogs. I have had my first litter of porty pups on Mother's Day, May 16th, 2006. E-mail contact is: portypups@yahoo.ca
They are 4 weeks today. Here they are playing after breakfast. They are becoming more steady on their feet. I am introducing a bowl of goat's milk to all of them so they can learn to lap.
Murphy is the only one really comfortable out of the box. He explored the area and Kingsley this morning. See his picture above.
I live in the country and decided to purchase a dog in 2004, the year I retired from teaching. After extensive research, I chose the porty. What a wonderful animal! My first one was Penny. She is fun, intelligent, loyal and very much a people dog. She loves the water, walks and play. I decided more people need to enjoy this breed so I chose to breed her. Her first litter was 9 beauties in 2006. Kingsley was added to the family in Feb.,2006. He is a wonderful, easy going pet. I decided to show him. He became a champ in 5 weekends and took best puppy in show 3 times!! With Kingsley, Penny produced a second litter of 7 pups in 2007. Penny was rehomed after 2 litters and Raven arrived in Sept.,2007. I do not anticipate adding any more porties to my family. Check out the PWDCC link for more info on this wonderful breed. I am a member of this club.
