Q. & A. with Gail
Why did you start breeding?
I am a preservationist breeder striving to maintain and improve upon the unique qualities that the Portuguese Water Dog has to offer. My focus is on all of this while also placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, structure, and standard. PWDs have proven to be wonderful companions in my life, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.What makes your program special?
I truly love the Portuguese Water Dog breed and am dedicated to looking out for them as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred, and I'm proud of the temperament and health of my puppies. As a proud member of multiple breed clubs, I am committed to maintaining and improving upon an excellent pedigree. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!Where do your breeding dogs live?
