Q. & A. with Trinity
Why did you start breeding?
My first Portuguese Water Dog was introduced to my life as a solution to my childhood allergies. River was an amazing dog, and the breed's intelligence, sensitivity, and human-like interaction amazed my family and me. As time progressed, so did our love for this incredible breed, so we decided to start our own responsible program. The rest is history!
What makes your program special?
We are not a kennel, but a family. Because our program is small, we are able to give each dog and puppy all of the attention and care that they need to develop and thrive. Our dogs are our family, and we give that same love to each puppy as we prepare them to join their forever homes. The quality of our puppies reflects the conscious decisions we make throughout every part of the breeding process. We are happy to tell you more about what life with a PWD is like and how they will not only enhance your daily life, but exceed your expectations!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white and brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
