Meet the breeder

I'm Joanne M., the breeder behind Belladonna Farm Portuguese Water Dogs located in Ocala, FL. When we bring a life into the world, we make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. We set our puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, conformation, ability, and drive. Our goal is to produce well-balanced puppies and find them loving, responsible homes.

Q. & A. with Joanne

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and white and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
