Our Next possible litter -
spring 2011... stay tuned for developing details...
Our most recent litter
(whelped April 5, 2010), out of
our very own Champion Brutus x Marinka, is leaving the nest. We
wanted to remember this spectacular litter by getting them photographed
with a professional. Luckily, I found my good friend Tressie from
high school. Please visit Tressie
Davis Photography to view her awesome work. She is located in
Chelsea, Michigan.

We
have put in years of research regarding the Portuguese Water Dog.
I have devoured pedigrees, breed type, disease inheritance, and watched
lines to see what is being produced. I breed to better the next
generation and the breed as a whole. I only breed a litter when I
am interested in keeping something for myself to show/keep in my
breeding program.
Much
planning goes into our litters here at Sweet Water Seas. Our dogs
are current on their vaccinations, on heart worm preventative, and
tested negative for Brucellosis. Our dogs are fed a high quality
kibble for optimum health. Genetic health testing is completed on
our brood bitches prior to breeding. Most of our PWDS have been trained
for the show ring and have attended basic obedience classes. We
understand that socialization is key to a well behaved, even tempered
adult.
After
all this planning, we hope to be blessed with a beautiful healthy
litter. Puppies are raised in our home. They are socialized from
day one with gentle children and other dogs. They are accustomed
to household noises such as vacuum cleaners, tv, video games/cartoons,
sounds from the kitchen, lawn mowers, etc.. They are introduced to
many different surfaces before going home (wood floors, carpet,
concrete, grass...). They get outside play time, trips in the car,
and met many people before they come home to you. It is your duty
to pick up where we've left off to make a well socialized and adjusted
adult Portuguese Water Dog. Puppy kindergarten and basic obedience
classes are must haves since this breed is so highly intelligent, they
often learn how to manipulate their owners without the owner realizing
it!
Puppy
packets come home with each puppy including (and not limited to)
certified pedigree, health record, color photos of parents, parents
health clearances, signed
contract, AKC papers, and numerous training tips.
Our
commitment to our SWSeas puppies does not end once you pick up your
puppy. We expect you to keep in touch with us to let us know how
you are doing. SWSeas Portuguese Water Dogs offers lifetime
support to our puppy buyers.
Sweet
Water Seas is always striving to create a better generation than before.
Taking in careful consideration for breed type, temperament, and health.
We look forward to the generations to come!
Please
note all puppies are sold on contracts - either pet (spay/neuter) or
show. SWSeas has the right to refuse the sale of any puppy to
those, who may not have the best interest of the dog at heart.
We
are very proud of the quality of our Puppies!

Tips for
Puppy Owners:
NEVER leave
puppy unattended. Always beware when it's too quiet!!
PWD Puppies
will think of children as their equal not as someone they have to mind.
All interaction must be supervised by an adult.
Bitter
Apple™ spray may save your coffee table legs, edges of rugs, etc. while
puppy is teething.
Buy Kongs™,
Tuff toys, and busy toys (by Premier toys) to keep this intelligent breed
busy and entertained. And it also satisfies their need to chew.
Chewing is
natural for puppies. It helps set the teeth into their jaw-line. This may
take 2 years so be patient!
Attend puppy
socialization classes AND basic obedience classes as a minimum. The
kindest thing you can do is train your dog to become a good canine
citizen.
All dogs are
den animals and will seek out their own special spot to sleep/rest. Crates
are a useful tool in keeping puppy safe while you are out or asleep.
Crates also aid in house training/potty training process.
