Our Sea Dogs

Tribute to THOR Infante De Grifford, (Portugal & US AKC)

Figurr’in PWD came from Portugal & desiring to have the Very Best Stud possible to start our kennel we tracked down the best breeder in the world. We were truly blessed to get Mr. Stud Muffin Thor from Augusto Guimaraes who owned the famous & historic De Grifford Kennel in Portugal. Augusto the Portuguese Water Dog Guru of the world bred true standard size and temperament for over 65 years.

His strong genes and direct Portuguese bloodlines produced puppies that continue his special bloodlines for us. He was loyal, loving and devoted to all his lady pirate beauties and us. His favorite pick up line, “I’ve sailed the Seven Seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted”.

Died September 14, 2017. Thor went on 3 hikes with his pack and took his late afternoon nap in his favorite dog bed. He died in his sleep. We should all be so lucky. We slid him down into his grave and he lay there with the biggest smile on his face. He found Augusto and some of his littermates and they were already having fun together. God Bless Him. He was a good old boy and died with his boots on. We’ll always love you and meet at that famous rainbow bridge.

Sea Dog Dread PIRATE Roberts, Butler, (US AKC)

Ahrrr…. Dread Pirate Roberts, is an exceptionally beautiful parti color black and white sweetheart. He has a beautiful shiny thick wavy coat and a natural black eye patch on his eye. He’s super athletic, but sweet and gentle as it can be. Pirate loves attention and sleeping next to his 7-year-old master, Regan.

Pirate has passed away as he lived-boldly, unapologetically and in the line of very personal duty, giving all the love he had until the very last minute. He was the best and most loyal companion our kids could have ever asked for.

SEA DOG FLASH, Towanda (US AKC)

Flash is a one of a kind medium sized male weighing about smaller size being only 52 pounds. He has the most beautiful black coat, and eye-catching white markings on his face and chest. He gets compliments everywhere he goes. From his tremendous markings to his absolute perfect disposition, Flash has been nothing short of pure joy to raise. He learned commands very easily. He loves running and playing with his comrades. Fetch is one of his favorite games, even though he sometimes thinks it’s funny to make you chase him because of his wonderful sense of humor!

Our Lassies

Annie has such a happy disposition and is remarkably friendly. She gets along well with everyone she meets, both people and other animals, making her a joy to have around.

Annie is a delightful combination of sweetness and sass, who is the happiest dog we have ever owned.

Sea Dog Oreo, Towanda ( US AKC)

Sea Dog Oreo from our Beautiful Mia & Mowgli with the rare European Silver Fox coat is a sensational looking PWD. No doubt she could win any beauty contest in the world. Her super intelligence, sweetness and agility make her the most lovable dog in the country town of Towanda. She loves hiking, swimming and wadding in creeks.

Sea Dog Cutie Carroll "CC" - Butler, PA

CC is full of energy and unofficially the most athletic dog in the world. She is here and there and everywhere all at once. One on one she settles right down and learns tricks instantly. She is probably our best swimmer, she does a few laps a day in the pool on her own in the summer. A note about her athletic abilities: she can easily jump up and give everyone a kiss on their cheeks. While walking through the yard; when you least expect she can easily jump up and give kisses!

Pricilla is an easygoing, quiet, sweet natured girl.
This pretty girl is from our very own BB and Pirate.
Priscilla is an extremely loyal family member. She loves playing with all the children that come over to visit, and gets along well with all types of animals big or small.
This smart and loyal dog is always up for adventure, and her agility and fearlessness make her a natural explorer. She loves spending time outdoors, whether it’s hiking in the woods or playing fetch with her favorite squeaky ball.

About White Portuguese Dogs

True white PWD many people, including some breeders in the US, didn’t realize are born Ivory or Cream color and then change to white. If you aren’t well versed on the breed you may mistakenly think they look like a Golden Retriever or Golden Doodle at first. As their special little portie bodies develop and grown any one can see that they definitely are 100% to standard Portuguese Water Dog puppies.

Standard Rare White Porties like ours have black noses and eyes. During the winter noses change from black to pinkish called winter noses. True white PWD have bluish skin like their black siblings. The whites born in the US that sometimes develop black ticking know as Irish and the white with black spots called party color have pink skin. Our DNA testing done by the AKC confirmed our special pups to be the solid white original true to standard PWD. Eclipse from our kennel has won championships all over Europe!
