Please don’t refer me to pwdca.org. I’ve been there, and I’ve contacted the very tiny number of breeders that are listed there and none of them seem to be having litters in the near future. Also, please don’t refer me to guidelines about finding a good breeder. I already have a Portuguese Water Dog and I know what I need to look for. I just want some names so that I can look into them, because my breeder isn’t having a litter any time soon either. The first response to give me information that I don’t already have will get ten points. Anyone who says something even slightly helpful will get a thumbs up
Thank you!!
I’ve looked for adult or older puppies. They are even harder to find. Portuguese Water Dogs aren’t really the kind of breed, it seems, that you find in shelters…at least not until the Obamas get them and they start overbreeding them like crazy!! ![]()

Hi,
I am thinking about getting a Mini Dachshund Puppy. How long can I leave it at home for alone? Are they expensive to care for compared to other dogs? (Aside from vaccines etc) I have had big dogs my whole life but the condo I live in will only allow me to have a small dog. Any other tips would be great!
Thanks!!!!!
So should I mainly be concerned about back problems? What other health issues are common?
