Julia Jones

Julia Jones raises Portuguese water dogs in Denver, PA, Lancaster County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. She has devoted more than ten years to responsible breeding under the guidelines of the American Kennel Club, with regular health testing for hips and eyes. Puppies grow up in a family home with plenty of human interaction and a focus on early socialization.

Her approach includes supervised swim sessions in a private pond as soon as puppies develop coordination, honoring the breed’s working heritage. Each dog benefits from a routine that blends outdoor exploration with gentle introduction to basic obedience. Julia’s background in canine sports has influenced her choice of lively yet trainable dogs, and some adults have earned agility titles. Puppies leave with a detailed care guide and the breeder offers ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition. Many families note the calm, adaptable temperaments that result from this thoughtful care.
