Portuguese Water Dog Puppies by Caladesi PWD

 

Our PWD Puppies

This page lists all the expected breeding pairs for the year. With Caladesi PWDs you can plan ahead to choose which litter has the best timing for your family/household. Each breeding pair has a "Waiting List". This list allows you choose the perfect timing for you and your household without missing out once they arrive. The majority of time, all planned litters once born, already has wonderful homes waiting on them.

Please complete Puppy Questionnaire with accurate and detailed information. I will contact you via email the same day I receive your questionnaire.

Our PWD Puppies

A lot of thought and care goes into the puppies we produce. The main focus of the breeding program is on health and temperament of the breeding pair. Both Sire and Dam will have Excellent or Good hips. All of their parentage will have known health clearance certificates. In this manner the puppies produced will not carry any known health issues of our breed.

Puppy placement is taken very seriously. We don't offer them as first come, first serve. We match puppies to their families. We do the best we can at choosing the best puppy for each family. We do this by getting to know the potential families, watching the puppies from birth, and temperament testing. All prospective homes are pre-screened through the Puppy Questionnaire, visiting, and phone calls. Puppies are placed into your care based on your home, lifestyle, and the puppy's temperament. Only owners that are willing to spend a lifetime having fun with an outgoing energetic companion will be considered for a Caladesi puppy.

Puppies are raised to their fullest potential by weekly milestones during their short 8 weeks here at Caladesi.
