Cindy Palmer

Cindy Palmer is a Portuguese water dog breeder in Calhoun, GA, serving Northwest Georgia near Chattanooga. It follows recommendations from recognized canine organizations and maintains health screening for hips, elbows, and eyes to support long-term well-being.

Puppies grow up inside the family home with daily human interaction, while older dogs enjoy secure outdoor runs and supervised swimming sessions in a private pond. Early socialization includes exposure to various sounds and gentle training in basic cues to build confidence and friendly temperaments.

Breeding lines trace back to performance stock, and several dogs have gone on to therapy work with hospitals and community programs. Cindy Palmer offers lifetime support to new owners, providing guidance on nutrition, grooming for the curly coat and local training resources for a smooth transition. Some adults join local water work demonstrations to highlight the breed’s natural aptitude and sure-footedness.
