ALTO MARE PWDS carefully planned breeding program for over 30 yrs, AKC Breeder of Merit; full health/DNA testing, Lifetime Guarantee. "PRESERVATION BREEDERS" We breed to preserve the qualities and characteristics of the breed that make it so wonderful. 

Our puppies are and have always been raised in our home around normal family activity, we have specific temperament development that insure our puppies are very people social, loving and eager to please. We have been training and showing dogs for over 40 years. Our breeding program has produced over 150 AKC champions, record setting titlist in Obedience, agility, water work, etc. but best of all- they have all been a family companion first and foremost. Most of the puppies in each litter are placed as pet only to be spayed or neutered but we select a few that we feel have the specific traits/qualities that are the goal for that breeding and keep or place as possible show/breeding quality.

We have always done thorough health testing, currently that includes: certified hips(OFA) and certified Eyes(OFA)and well as DNA testing -Optigen-PRCD; EOPRA; GM-1; JDCM; Microthalmia;(and IC if needed) this insures our puppies have the best chance for a long healthy happy life! 

We have an application process to aid in matching the right puppy with the right family. We personally only have a litter every 18 months or so but there are usually 1 or 2 each year (that are part of our breeding program) that we co breed and help with evaluation and placements.
