A home, not just a kennel

A family thing.
From the beginning.

For Marilee, these dogs are family. Puppies grow up in her home with gentle handling, time with her grandchildren, and an introduction to the rhythms of daily life.

Her care continues after pickup, with a welcome invitation to stay in touch as your dog grows.

Our Portuguese Water Dog family

Personality comes
with the pedigree.

Every dog brings something special to our home. Meet Billie, Finley, and Dallas, and ask Marilee about their personalities and health records.

Care that starts with the parents.

Health information belongs with the individual litter. Ask Marilee for the specific sire and dam’s screening records, test names, dates and results, along with your puppy’s veterinary, vaccination and parasite-treatment records.

We believe good conversations begin with clear information.

Ask about health records ↗

Made for family life.

These are active, engaged dogs who thrive as part of the household. Talk with Marilee about grooming, training, daily activity, and whether a Portie fits your home.

The right match matters to the dog and to your family.

Know the parents

Health information you can review.

Ask Marilee for the individual parent’s screening records, including the test name, date, result and registered name. For an upcoming litter, confirm both parents and review their records together.

Hello, I’m Marilee.

I’m Marilee Partridge Johnson, the person behind Mlees Porties. My dogs are part of my family, and my grandchildren play a special role in their everyday lives.

Our puppies are raised at home, with affection, gentle handling, and an introduction to crate time. I enjoy helping families get to know the breed and prepare for life together.

“All of our puppies are important to us for their entire lives.”
