    At Whoosh there are no "generic" puppies and there are no "generic" owners. It is critical to our success in placing the right puppy with the right family, to collect information about you and your household. We are about to ask for a lot of information, our intention is not to be "nosy" but to gather enough information to ensure a good match. Please be open and honest and answer all the questions to the best of your ability. We want to make sure a Portuguese Water Dog is right for you, and then be able to match the right puppy with your family.

    Thank You

    For you interest in Whoosh PWDs

     

    Our goal is to ensure that every puppy goes to the home that is right for them, and that one of our Portuguese Water Dogs is right for you.  For us a well suited home is one where the dog will meet the owner’s expectations, and the owners will provide a home that matches the dog’s personality and natural skills.

    Starting the Puppy Placement Process does NOT guarantee you a puppy but will enable you to be considered for one; we NEVER take deposits or sell puppies to people who have not successfully gone through our application process.  Please take into account travel when applying that we never fly puppies unaccompanied (or “Cargo”) to their new homes.  Our puppies have successfully flown and driven a long way, but always with either us or their new family.

    Because of the large number of inquires we get, the application process can sometimes take several weeks to complete. We ask for your patience during this time.

    Cheers,

    Robin & Greg
