We are located in Sunny South Florida in the Miami area. Our next litter from Ellie x Banks will be here March 11, 2024.

As a Preservation Breeder, I work to preserve the Portuguese water dog breed. I strive to develop a line of dogs that conform to the standard, respect the breed’s past, and are equally a great addition to your family providing years of love, affection, and joy.

Ever since bringing home my first Portuguese Water Dog, Belle, in 2008 I have been hooked on the breed. My dogs live in the house with me and my husband, Steve. We are empty nesters but our daughter Morgan and our son Josh visit often. We have a home with a large yard and a beautiful swimming pool specifically designed with the PWD in mind.

PWDs are a special breed that deserve a loving, structured, enjoyable environment. They will take as much attention as you are able to give.

Explore this site to get a better understanding of the breed and to get to know me and my family. It is not a breed for everyone, but for many it is a perfect match, as it was for us!

I am so happy that you have come to Riptide Portuguese Water Dogs in your search for your new puppy.

Regards,
Melody
