I need a Portuguese water dog! For my Mother`s Day

I am searching desperately for a Portuguese water dog. I need a special rare type, though. It needs to have white fur with maybe a few black spots. My mom fell in love with someones, and I need to get her one for mothers day. Can anyone help?

Parti color PWDs are not "rare", and getting a PWD in a hurry is a VERY bad idea.

A responsible breed will not sell a PWD to someone who is giving it a gift, and good

breeders have puppies sold well in advance.

Please go to the PWDCA web site - http://www.pwdca.org/ - for extensive information.

I cannot stress enough he importance of finding a reputable hobby breeder who has

the best interest of the PWD in mind, and will help match you with a PWD whose

background is well tested for genetic ills.

Getting a puppy quickly, of a certain coat type, gender or color is NOT important.

Finding the right family companion is.

Avoid breeders in any breed mass producing puppies.
