Q. & A. with Roberta
Why did you start breeding?
I have a good friend who breeds Portuguese Water Dogs, and she has been mentoring me to understand the proper way to go about breeding dogs and raising puppies.
What makes your program special?
The socialization of my puppies and my adult dogs to all age brackets and people with a variety of medical and emotional conditions. My dogs also get exposed to swimming via a pool and a pond and to a variety of Portuguese Water Dogs who come and train on my property for water work.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Hip Dysplasia
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 Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
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.
Chondrodystrophy and IVDD Risk (CDDY-IVDD), DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
