Williamston, North Carolina, United States
I have loved dogs since I was a child. As an adult, after researching and spending time with other's PWDs, I decided this was my breed. I liked their energy and that they are able to learn and perform the skills needed when they were part of the Portuguese fisherman's crew. My first puppy came home with me in 1994. Hat Trick was an awesome dog who became my 1st champion. I named my kennel after him! My dogs are involved in conformation, water work, agility, sent work, nose work, barn hunt, nasda, rally, obedience and herding. Taylor earned her herding championship, the first PWD to accomplish this I began professionally training dogs in 1996, becoming increasingly involved with the many aspects of this. I returned to school and became a licensed vet tech Taught classes at a dog training club Started my own business, teaching dog sports, offering workshops, and hosting trials I am also a water trial judge, rodeo dog judge and a local up dog judge. I began my own breeding program in 2000, having my first litter that year. I breed only to my own girls, assessing their strengths and could use improvement areas, including health, structure, and temperament. I then begin in depth research of the males I am interested in, looking at their pedigrees from the early generations on. I am again looking at health information as well as structure, and temperament. When possible I want to see the dog in person, something I try to do at events such as water trials. I will also travel to see a dog I'm interested in. It is also important to me that the sire's breeder and I have open lines of communication can mutually work thru the hard questions that sometimes come up. My goal is to breed dogs that best represent the breed standard and to improve my breeding program.
Athletic water dog with a curly, hypoallergenic coat. Intelligent, biddable, and loves swimming.
