all on breeding : the KENNEL
 

 

portuguese water dog litter Fabiana and the first litter of Portuguese Water Dogs at do lusiadas kennel bred in 1996

Breeding can be done in many ways, each breeder makes his own choice , but the best and the most correct way is always born out of passion and love for the dogs. To breed living creatures demands care, knowledge, a sense of responsibility and duty. It is often a heavy burden. There is little free time when litters are born, many sleepless nights when puppies have problems, many holidays just skipped and many Easter and Christmas festivities bypassed.

And many worries about the litter's proper growth. Difficult moments are not rare, and problems and pain may accompany them. And then the puppies leave you and so do adult dogs. And one never gets used to the pain of having loved. Even when you might want to , you just can't .

The only reason one can bear all this is that you are experiencing the magic of life and birth. What a present ! And that you know that each of them is going to bring joy to whole families, children and elderly people or just people that need fondness and communication. A breeder gets many satisfactions and returns, the least of which is the financial one. Then comes the success of " your puppy ", the results he attains in shows or sporting competitions. But the greatest satisfactions and returns come from the new owner and the loving bond of affection and trust established between new owner and dog. Read carefully about the characteristics of each breed and consider if the breed you like best is well suited to integrate happily with you and your family
