Nestled in the rolling hills of Northeast Pennsylvania, Rosemont Farm Kennels is home to the incredible breed of Portuguese Water Dogs. We raise our dogs and puppies on our 280 acre farm where they are free to roam and swim in one of our koi ponds. We focus on raising happy, healthy puppies who will be loving companions for many years. This requires genetic testing, OFA certifications, health checkups, and lots of love!
The Portuguese Water Dog (PWD) has a vibrant history of serving fishermen along Portugal's coast, diving into the water to herd fish into their nets and delivering messages to shore all while being faithful companions. They were bred to be athletic, have a high endurance, and be fast swimmers. Today's PWD has retained these traits and is eager to be trained and exercised making for a fantastic addition to an active family.
