PWD Breeders, SA

With 20 years experience in this breed, I've travelled through Europe and the USA seeing the top Portuguese Water Dogs the world has to offer. My bloodlines are a combination from the top kennels in Canada the USA and Australia. Health testing is of the utmost importance and every puppy that leaves to go to his forever home is supplied with full health test results on: MO, JDCM, GM1, EOPRA, PRCD-PRA, HIPS, ELBOWS, CDDY/IVDD and OPTHALMIC EYE EXAM CERTIFICATE from both parents. Both curly and wavy coat puppies are occasionally available.

Our passion for Portuguese Dogs started in 2009 when we got our first Portuguese Water Dog, Grace. Grace showed us how incredible this breed is! Everyone who met Grace fell in love with her. She visited hospitals as a therapy dog and she was an Assistance Dog for Wendy. Grace travelled the world with us and even got to spend a day at The Louvre and see the Mona Lisa. She also competed with us in agility, flyball, rally, dancing with dogs and heel work to music. Grace learnt >200 tricks and loved nothing more than showing off her tricks to an audience. Grace’s registered name was Bluegrace Seacalling and our kennel name Seacalling is a tribute to G. In 2020, we imported a very special Portuguese Water Dog, Ocean (aka Oshi), from the USA. She is our foundation bitch and she has proved to us yet again why we LOVE this breed so much! She is incredibly intelligent, loyal, loving, athletic and driven to work. So far we have competed in conformation, agility and rally and she is training to be an Assistance Dog. We never dreamed another dog could come close to Grace but Oshi has our hearts. We have imported frozen semen from a top stud dog in the USA (MBISS GChS Marshview Whale Of A Good Time RN MX MXJ XF DCAT RATS CGCA WWD GROM) and we hope to have our first litter in 2023. Our goal is to breed for temperament, structure, health and working ability. Our puppies will be given a lot of enrichment and they should make fabulous performance dogs and pets for active owners.

I acquired my first PWD in 2002 and she is the ONLY Conformation, Obedience and Endurance Test titled PWD bitch in Australia - Grand Ch Luerace Coco Chanel C.D.X., E.T. "Holly Dog". She is also the FIRST and ONLY Australian Bred PWD to hold these titles and the FIRST PWD bitch to become a Grand Champion in Australia. Holly Dog is by far the most Show, Obedience and Working titled PWD in the country. I imported a bitch in whelp from Biley's Kennel Sweden in May 2006 - Biley's Happy Hazard - and she whelped a litter of 6 on June 16th, from Swedish Ch Gnupens Skoningslosa Matrix (Sweden). There were 6 puppies in the litter, 2 dogs and 4 bitches, and I kept a dog and bitch, Rulett Set Thsails Foroz (IID) "Wombat" and Rulett Devocean (IID) "Miss Pringle", to go on with. Both became Aust Champions and Wombat also gained his Supreme Champion and Endurance Test titles. Hazard gained her Australian and Swedish Champion titles and whelped a litter of three pups in April 2008 to Ch Sunnyhill Quicksilver Wind N Sails (Imp USA). Hazard and Holly Dog are my foundation bitches. I have imported/used breeding stock from Sweden, Norway, Canada, USA, NZ, UK and exported stock to Sweden, U.S.A., Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, England, Hawaii and New Zealand. All my breeding stock is CHEDS Hip and Elbow x-rayed/scored, DNA/gene tested for PRA, JDCM, GM1, DM, BHFD, CCDA, MOS, EOPRA, Colour, Parentage and ACES Eye Certified (litters included before homing). Rulett - simply no chances taken!!!

From an imported sire, and 25 years breeding in Australia, these Portuguese Water Dog puppies are ready to go now. An ancient breed, used by Portuguese fishers to work off boats, these dogs have adapted fabulously to life in Australia both in the water, and in locations without such. All pups are introduced to swimming before leaving as I start introducing their life lessons. (check pics!) These have a non shedding coat, are very active, smart, and with your common sense and training, are fantastic companions. I have been breeding these since 1997 and am Australia's most experienced breeder. Located north of Heathcote, I am wanting you to visit, to meet the pups, their parents and family. I offer an extensive health guarantee and life time breeder support. All pups have been health checked by 3 separate vets, have received a C3 vax, a C5 vax, microchipping, and are desexed. My preference is for puppies to leave between 10-12 weeks, and even older as this results in better outcomes for both the puppy and the owner. www.bluegrace.com Breeder source number: BR102201
