Parent dogs
Griffey, dad
Portuguese Water Dog
About Griffey
Griffey is our newest stud dog. This is the third litter he is the sire of and I couldn't be happier. Griffey not only scored beautifully on his OFA hip test as well as clearing all of his other genetic testing; he also has the most sweet, fun-natured personality. Whenever we take him ANYWHERE, whether to the vet, the park, on a walk, etc people always comment on how well-behaved and pleasant he is. Griffey loves his toys, doing anything active outside, lounging around his house, treats, and most of all, being with his family. This is the kind of parent dog I am so grateful to have in my breeding program. He has so many wonderful traits to pass down to his offspring.

Portuguese Water Dog
About Menea
Hi, I'm Menea (pronounced meh-nay-ah)! It comes from the Spanish verb 'meaner' which means to shake; dance; swing; or wiggle. I got my name because I wag and wiggle my tail and back end so vigorously when I'm excited that it looks like I'm dancing every time. My family thinks I'm the best dog ever! I'm super happy, smart, sweet energetic, and loyal. I'm always up for a game of fetch, a hike, swim, or just running around in circles with a toy in my mouth. My life's motto is: The messier I can get, the more fun I have! So I've learned to love baths. I enjoy sniffing the wind and just standing in the rain. Naps by the fire are only used as my way to recharge for my next big adventure, even if that's just a walk to the mailbox. My favorite treats are peanut butter, yak chews, and belly rubs. I play with my human brother and sister and give them kisses every chance I get. I just want to make my family happy so whenever any of them walk through the door, I bring them a toy. My favorite place to be in the whole world is with my family and loving on them is what I do best. My family couldn't imagine a world without me; I know this because they tell me that all the time.
