We are a small family kennel of purebred home raised Portuguese Water Dogs & Havanese puppies, Non Shedding, and Hypo-Allergenic pet located in Colborne, Ontario, Canada.
I met my first Portuguese
Water Dog at my sister-in-law Sharlene Krupp's place the summer of 2000 and it was love at first sight.
We bought our first Portuguese Water Dogs puppy, Sharmink's Maggie Muggins, from Sharlene in 2002. Maggie was our first and has retired to her new home. Our family
of Portuguese Water Dogs has grown to include Hope, Cacao, Bonnie, Pandi and the boys, Bubba and Caper.
Our kennel have recently extended our family breeding program to include the Havanese. We
have Indie, Breton, Lucy and Dawcee. We were drawn to this breed due to also being a Non Shedding, and Hypo-Allergenic
pet also.
Both of the Portuguese Water Dogs & Havanese are a great family dogs, love people, good with children and other dogs & puppies.
Our kennel does the heath clearances on our Portuguese Water Dogs and Havanese before breeding them such as GM 1 storage testing, DNA, PRA testing for their eyes and OFA certification for hips and elbows
and BAER for the Havanese. We socialize our puppies with both children and adults. We also make sure that our puppies are checked by our vet, vaccinated
and de-wormed before leaving our home. They are micro-chipped and registered with the CKC, and can be registered
with the AKC.
