3. DNA Testing

Genetic Conditions Tested with Premium Kit Results - CLEAR

This dog carries one copy of the mutation for improper coat (IC) and one copy of F and will therefore have

furnishings (proper coat). This dog does not carry the mutation for weak furnishings. However, the overall coat

type of this dog is dependent on the combination of this dog's genotypes at the L, Cu, and IC loci. This dog will

pass IC (improper coat) to 50% of its offspring and F (furnishings, proper coat) to 50% of its offspring. Therefore,

this dog can produce puppies with improper coat if bred with a dog that carries one copy (F/IC) or two copies

(IC/IC) of the mutation for improper coat.

IC Locus (Improper Coat/Furnishings) RSPO2 F/IC Furnishings (improper coat carrier)

Note - Saylor was only bred with Oscar who has 2 copies of furnishings (F/F).

Their offspring will not produce puppies with an improper coat.

Coats and Colors

Puppy Coats from Brandi/Oscar Cross: They can NOT produce an Improper Coat. Not possible due to their DNA. All puppies will have double copies of furnishings. Colors they produce will be Brown Parti, Black Parti, Brown with White Markings, Black with White Markings, Solid Black, Solid Brown. Hair Coat Variety - Runs from Oscar's Loose Curl (comes from his Champion Bloodline father) to Brandi's Wavy to a More Wavy (Oscar's Mom is a Wavy coat). So there is a wide variety of colors and coats that come in the litter from Brandi/Oscar cross. Their cross should be very much like the Saylor/Oscar cross.

When the puppies are born - I can usually tell within 2 days what kind of coat the puppy will have.

The various coat varieties of our breeding sire and dames:

Oscar (the Sire) - With a loose curl coat in a stunning jet black hue, Oscar’s coat is typically kept short to stay comfortable in Alabama's warm climate. Post a trim, his coat feels as soft as velvet.

Brandi (Dame) - Brandi boasts a wavy chocolate brown coat with charming white "frosting" accents on her back. Her head showcases a dark brown shade with a topping of white. She is undeniably stunning!

Saylor (Dame - Retired) - Saylor’s loose curl coat features a mesmerizing chocolate brown color complemented by delicate white "frosting" highlights scattered throughout. Most Brown PWDs exhibit frosting, adding to their natural beauty.

When looking to add a Portuguese Water Dog (PWD) to your family, understanding the various coat types can help you choose the perfect match for your lifestyle and preferences. Whether you prefer the elegance of a wavy coat or the sophistication of a loose curl, each PWD brings its unique charm and personality to your home.

Regular grooming and care play a vital role in maintaining the beauty and health of your PWD’s coat. Brushing, trimming, and periodic baths are essential to keep their coat in top condition and to ensure your furry companion looks and feels their best.

4. Early Onset Progressive Retinal Atrophy (EOPRA) – Genetic test at Optimal Selection or certification ofDNA parentage analysis via the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) DNA parentage clear program on the stud dog or the brood bitch prior to mating, with one parent, either sire or dam, testing normal (non-carrier) via the genetic test at Optimal Selection or certified clear (non-carrier) via the CanineHealth Information Center (CHIC) DNA parentage clear program
