Sisu Portuguese Water Dog
Meet the breeder
I'm Hallie H., the breeder behind Sisu Portuguese Water Dog located in Lone Rock, WI. My dogs are fully health tested and hold AKC champion performance titles. My puppies are easy to train for performances and family activities. Portuguese Water Dogs require frequent brushing and monthly grooming. I'm privileged to work with this incredible breed.
Q. & A. with Hallie
Why did you start breeding?
I had a great mentor in the family I bought my first Portuguese Water Dog from. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program.What makes your program special?
The dogs I breed are fully health tested and usually are multi-titled, so I know that they can do the jobs they are meant to do and fall within the breed standard. In my program, I also breed for temperaments. I am passionate about my work and look forward to connecting with you!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
