Ondakina Portuguese Water Dogs

Ondakina Portuguese Water Dogs, run by Kelley Dimke in Hillsborough, North Carolina, focuses on portuguese water dogs bred for both sound health and true working character. Hillsborough sits in the Research Triangle region, roughly 20 minutes from Durham, making it a convenient source for families across central North Carolina seeking portuguese water dog puppies in NC.

Kelley is a member of the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America (PWDCA) as well as two regional clubs, Movers & Shakers and the United Sunshine States Portuguese Water Dog Club. All health testing recommended by the PWDCA is completed before any dog is bred, and the program emphasizes quality over quantity, with all litters born and raised inside the home.

Preserving the breed's working drive is a stated priority alongside producing structurally and temperamentally sound dogs. Socialization begins from the earliest days — puppies are handled multiple times daily, gradually introduced to household sounds, varied surfaces, shapes, and movements, and eventually brought outdoors to encounter a broader range of sights and experiences before they leave for their new homes.
