Heather getting ready to take Millie to San Diego CA to be a true WATER dog!!

Seamus (pronounced Shaymus) the great big boy!

Kukui(lamp or light)) who I thought would go first and he is the only one we have left! gorgeous green eyes and I think he could be a Champion easily. If I wasn't out of my mind I'd keep him!

U'uku (tiny) he is absolutely the sweetest thing in the world, comes almost every time he is called and loves to love.

Close up on May 16th early in the morning. Content after breakfast! Almost 3 days old.

That is a lot of puppies! Keilani has been a little overwhelmed I think but just as good a mom as the first time around. She keeps them spotless along with her bed. I think is feeling better each day, I am sure not having all that weight makes it easier. She is always delighted to go outside but boy don't wait to let her back in to her babies! she is very intolerant!!

Momma about half way through, she is having one every 30 minutes! Thank goodness my granddaughter were here to help, write down info, take pictures and warm them up between births!

Not sure which number puppy this is but you can see the sac is still covering the puppy.

Six born so far. All healthy and nursing well.

Momma chewing the cord in half as I hold the afterbirth that I am not wanting her to have.

Welcome to Pili Lani (Close to Heaven) Portuguese Water Dogs. Our main desire is to breed the most structurally sound, healthy and happy Portuguese Water dogs possible. Our foundation bitch Keilani is a wonderful example of the lively and loyal dog, with incredible movement that we want to reproduce. Our goal is to keep the standard of the Portuguese Water dogs high and most excellent, to not allow our dogs to be bred without becoming AKC Champions or to become a "Designer Breed".

We welcome your interest in this fascinating breed of dog.

They are not for everyone, they need a lot of quality exercise. This is a crucial part of their happiness, they love to work and they rarely tire of helping. They are loyal and just want to please.
