...working together to develop a bloodline of healthy dogs with excellent temperaments.
Portuguese Water Dogs are working dogs! Even as a six week old
puppy, Planalto Arizona Bronco knew how to be gentle when visiting
with friends. She has an early start as a Therapy dog! (The ladies at
the assisted living home insisted her name was "Angel")
This lovely breed was born in the Algarve area along the coast of
Portugal. Valued as a helper of fishermen, these dogs were treated as
members of the crew, receiving their portion of the catch for dinner.
Today the Portuguese Water Dog continues to work- as a friend and
companion, and as a partner in the agility ring and in the water trial. .
Portuguese Water Dogs are gregarious
creatures and, when properly socialized,
love attention ...and expect it as a right!
Care needs to be taken until the pups have
all their shots, but fortunately, I have an
understanding church that lets my pups
visit!
My favorite joke is that people give the
pups a lot of attention, then ignore them
when the Bible Study begins. When Pastor
Mike starts speaking, the pups fall fast
asleep!

Sad news-
On Friday, March 6, 2009, we had high winds. It appears that a
gust of wind tore an opening in my fence and Rosa, Brisa, and
Tammy escaped and were attacked by coyotes.
Tammy has no injuries, Brisa has a torn nose and multiple
puncture wounds in her hind leg and ears. She is in pain but will
recover.
My beloved Rosa was killed.
