Lukos Portuguese Water Dogs

Lukos Portuguese Water Dogs has been breeding Portuguese water dogs in Folsom, California since 2017. Karen Widden runs the program out of her home in the Sacramento foothills, about 25 miles northeast of Sacramento, raising dogs and puppies as full members of the household rather than in a kennel setting.

The program aims to produce both show prospects and companion dogs, with temperament, health, and breed-standard structure guiding every pairing. All adult dogs undergo mandatory genetic testing and the required health examinations before being used in the breeding program. Families looking for Portuguese water dog puppies in California will find that Lukos places a strong emphasis on early socialization, exposing each litter to a range of surfaces, sounds, people, and other dogs from the earliest weeks of life.

Karen also participates in conformation showing, agility, and other canine activities alongside her dogs, reflecting a hands-on relationship with the breed that extends well beyond the whelping box. Puppy placements are treated as long-term commitments, with care taken to match individual puppy personalities to each prospective household.
