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!! 
(within 1000 miles of me, at least!!)
I’m planning on adopting a chihuahua soon and she will be able to come home with me in February. I will be going to school three days a week for a few hours. I understand that a chihuahua is okay for a few hours on it’s own, but is it any different when it is a puppy of 12 weeks? Will there have to be someone there with it ALL the time until it is older or will it be okay? Also if anyone has any experiences with raising a puppy i would appreciate advice. Thanks!
I really appreciate the advice i’m getting, but if anyone could i’d appreciate more on the main question. Would a young puppy of 12 weeks be able to be alone while i’m at school? I’ve heard they need to be taken out to pee almost every hour.
