In these days of buying everything online, including your next Portuguese Water Dog family member,
please be vigilant in researching where your new pup comes from. Read our "Choosing a Breeder" page for more information. The links below provide paramount information on what to look for including specific names per state. See a more detailed report on our CHOOSING A BREEDER page.
Red flags include no testing available, No valid conformation on where the parents of your puppy reside, Not being able to see where your puppy actually comes from, mass market websites, USDA licensees, no vetting of buyers, and known puppy mill communities like Millersburg and Sugarcreek, Ohio.
High prices and cute pictures do not mean a healthy puppy. Click on an adult dog's pedigree, if provided, to make sure the actual owner of the dog is in good standing. Many are from, or associated with notorious puppy mills. Thank you so much for your patience and responsibility!

The Albatross Did Follow
Now let's meet the girls!
Our girlies are first and foremost part of our family or extended family, so four litters are the max for our ladies. Of course, they continue to keep their role as part of the family, plus wholeheartedly take on the role of spoiled, sometimes bossy babysitters for future litters. 🥰
Olive Eyes on Golden Seas |

Olive represents her peaceful name perfectly.
Her full name, Olive Eyes on Golden Seas reflects the warmth and compassion within. The sweetest dog you'll ever meet, an angel in fur, exuding calmness, gentleness, and unwavering friendliness. Obedient and with a personality that shines with positivity, she is truly enchanting. ❤️ Our dogs have helped fill many people's hearts with joy and love with their genuinely fantastic offspring. The endless complimentary emails, texts, photos, and phone calls from people that have Portie Club puppies in their home have filled our lives with as much joy as her puppies have given. |
Summer Breeze, Makes Me Feel Fine.
Breeze is our overachiever. It seems there is nothing she doesn't excel in. Friendliness, intelligence, confidence, love, contentment, and excellent manners are just a few of her gifts.
From her sweet-as-pie personality to her beautiful hazel brown eyes, Breeze has it all. When it comes to whole-body booty shaking, she's the best. Her entire body wags in delight with her tail. Grabbing the closest toy or sock and whining with joy is her favorite way to greet. She is always so happy to welcome anyone that walks through the door.
Breeze is also an outstanding babysitter. She was always there to give Moxie a well-needed break with the puppies, a positive sign that Breeze herself will be an excellent mother. Her patience, nurturing nature, and loving disposition will serve her well in raising healthy, happy puppies that are sure to carry on her unbeatable traits.
