I'm Jackee G., the breeder behind Gro-T Kennels located in Weston, ID. We hold ourselves to high standards for the integrity of our program. All of our puppies are socialized, nurtured, and loved! We keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.

    I had a great experience - and the puppy I received is amazing! She is so cute and friendly and has quickly picked up on the training - even shakes my hand already. The puppy is good with cats and kids - I couldn't have asked for a better dog. Everyone asks us what kind of dog is she - and when I tell them a Portuguese Water Dog, they are even more intrigued. I would recommend the breed and the breeder to anyone looking for family dog. Looking forward to trying her out in some performance trials.
