I'm the breeder behind Amada Portuguese Water Dogs located in Parkersburg, WV. Our dogs are bred for their intelligence, health and temperament. They come from champion bloodlines and are raised in our homes amongst the chaos of every day life. We offer a health guarantee as well as lifetime support and guidance.
About Darci
After much research for a family pet that wouldn’t affect my asthma, we discovered the PWD. While no dog is hypoallergenic, the PWD is often a good choice for people like me. After studying and training this breed, it became our passion to breed PWDs to produce the healthiest and temperamentally sound puppies as possible.
What makes Darci’s program special
Our PWDs are health tested as well as genetically tested. They and their puppies are part of our family and raised as such. We are dedicated to preserving the integrity of the PWD and will not consider breeding any male or female without all recommended health testing.
