Meet the breeder

I'm Tanya J., the breeder behind SeaBreeze PWDs located in Forsyth, GA. SeaBreeze PWD is a small, family breeder with a background as a groomer and vet tech. I have raised, trained and shown horses and dogs for 40 years. Our show dogs are foremost a part of our family. They are bred for health and temperament with a focus on confirmation, intelligence, and athleticism.

Q. & A. with Tanya

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Animal husbandry and showing horses & dogs was part of my lifestyle growing up. I couldn’t imagine my world today, without the love I receive from my dogs. I’m blessed to be able to work from home as a groomer and be with my dogs daily. I began raising PWD under the mentorship of Fabian’s Bazanni, Do Lusiadas kennel in Florence Italy. Shortly thereafter, Liz & Don Powell have been instrumental
  • What makes your program special?

    So much love and preparation goes into your puppy BEFORE it is even conceived. Selection of a compatible breeding pair and parental health care and socialization is necessary for a well balanced, healthy puppy to be born and raised by its dam. Genetic testing, consistent vet care and vaccination, socialization & education for each stage of pups development and education & support for new owners…
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brown and white, black and white, black, and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Excellent level

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Microphthalmia Syndrome (PES), Early Onset Progressive Retinal Atrophy (EOPRA), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Juvenile Dilated Cardiomyopathy, GM1 Gangliosidosis, Portuguese Water Dog Type
