Karma Portuguese Water Dogs
Meet the breeder
I'm Anat H., the breeder behind Karma Portuguese Water Dogs located in North Providence, RI. I would describe my breeding program as preservation breeding. I am deeply committed to educating my families about this breed. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy.
Q. & A. with Anat
Why did you start breeding?
I was very sick and got my first service dog. Once I was in remission I knew this was something I had to do. My breeding program now specializes in matching service dogs and training them with their prospective families. It’s enormously gratifying. While breeding is not for the faint of the heart always, knowing that I’m making such a huge difference for a family in need.What makes your program special?
My program is designed for all kinds of families. In particular service dogs. All of my breeding dogs are AKC Champions and or titled in obedience and performance.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
