I'm Matt & Jena W., the breeder behind Ohana Spanish Water Dogs located in Yakima, WA. Ohana means family and our dogs mean family to us. Our family decided to be a responsible breeder after we fell in love with our 1st SWD and we wanted others to experience our joy.
We breed top quality pups for temperament & health with an emphasis on intelligence, athleticism, & conformation.
