The Ultimate PWD

 

   

At the Top of the World

EROS - Picasso Infante De Gifford x Wizlo Call Me Brownie
Owner Brendan Carroll in the U.S.A.

LEAO
Owned by Vasco Bensaude was the raw material for the PWD STANDARD


EVER SINCE greedy breeders have turned the original PWD into 2nd class dogs due to careless breeding policies.

To blame are also breed clubs, corrupt judges and kennel blind breeders that 'seem' to have forgotten how a typical PWD should look like... see Leao picture!

The only way is to follow the standard and with the help of carefully chosen dogs no doubt success can be achieved.
