Q. & A. with Jane
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been invested in the well-being of animals and fell in love with the Portuguese Water Dogs. I started breeding in an effort to preserve the breed and continue upon my phenomenal bloodlines. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same.
What makes your program special?
Breeding for health, type, and temperament, I have produced dogs that have excelled in conformation and performance events as well as working therapy dogs and as wonderful family companions. I am dedicated to always having responsible breeding policies not only when producing puppies, but when socializing and training them, too! It is my pleasure to help you take the next step in adding this wonderful new addition to your family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
