Meg DeFore & HiBisKiss
Portuguese Water Dogs Breeding Program
The mission is to preserve and further the Portuguese Water Dog as a breed, so I am extremely careful in my breeding practices and selectively breed only when a perfect match is evident. For the most part, I take pride in owner handling my dogs in the show ring.
To compete with professional handlers, I must be producing top quality dogs, physically, and mentally. Not every dog is selected for a future of showing and performance. I like to think of even my pet owner's dogs as Champions of their home.
I have owned Portuguese Water Dogs since the early 90's, every litter is a special breeding for me. Once born the Portuguese Water Dog Puppies will stay with their mother at least 8 weeks. During the time, the puppies are with the litter they learn how to deal with their world. I recommend the book "How to Raise a Puppy You Can Live With" by Rutherford, this gives a good explanation of my philosophies towards socializing the litter and what I expect from you to continue this process. I do early stimulation that helps to build a sound dog and implement my personal "Puppy Culture" development exercises that align with the Portuguese Water Dog development I am sure you will be grateful to know you will be getting a quality dog, along with the guidance and support often needed when adding a dog to your household. Temperament evaluations are done to ensure that you get a dog that is going to fit well with you & your family. Please remember having a puppy takes a lot of energy, commitment and training. I commit to lifelong responsibility for these pups. In other words, I commit to take them back (for any reason) if you could no longer care for them.
Please fill out the questionnaire, after it is completed, click on the submit button. I will put you on a wait list and contact you when we have puppies, your answers will help me understand your expectations for your dog and make the best puppy match possible for your lifestyle.
