I'm Connie W., the breeder behind Aarbelle’s Portuguese water dogs located in Lebanon, IN. We have developed several protocols to ensure the health and well-being of all of our dogs. It’s our top priority to make sure each of our puppy families welcomes a happy and healthy new family member into their homes!
Here at Aarbelle’s Portuguese Water Dogs we strive to produce top quality Champions, in and outside of the ring! It is a family affair with three generations mother, daughter and granddaughters working together to breed sound healthy well bred dogs.
