Cutwater Portuguese Water Dogs

Cutwater Portuguese Water Dogs is a breeder of Portuguese water dogs in Chester, Connecticut, Southeastern Connecticut near New London. Its breeding program follows national club guidelines for health screenings and temperament testing to help ensure well-adjusted puppies. Puppies are raised in a family environment with regular social outings, early handling, and exposure to everyday home sounds.

Adult dogs enjoy supervised swim sessions to build breed-specific skills, along with daily enrichment around the property. Each litter is monitored closely by Jane Harding, who has been actively involved with Portuguese water dogs for a number of years and brings hands-on care to every stage of development. They maintain small litter sizes to support individual attention and begin basic obedience conditioning before placement into new homes.

Health records and vaccination schedules accompany each puppy, and ongoing support is offered to new owners as pups adjust to their families. Prospective owners are invited to visit the home setting by appointment to meet the parents and observe daily routines before deciding on adoption.
