I love Bayport's dogs

My name is Pamela C. and I live in Kelowna, BC. My husband and I purchased a puppy from Pam Headon in January of this year. We named him Lincoln and he is now 4 1/2 months old. Not only is he a beautiful puppy, he also has an outstanding temperament. He is our second puppy - we bought our first Portuguese Water Dog from a breeder in Mission, BC just over a year ago. With the first puppy, we visited the breeder several times before purchasing a puppy and felt that we did all our homework. However, our puppy was so sick when we brought him home, that our vet didn't even know if he would make it. That breeder gave us a written health guarantee, and despite this, she still was very reluctant to cover the vet costs and it took months before she reimbursed us. We decided that we wouldn't get our second puppy from her but we were sceptical about buying from a breeder that we had never met. When we started looking into finding a breeder outside of BC, I spoke to more than 6 breeders in Ontario. I was most impressed with Pam because she was always quick to respond and was always open with us.. I really felt as though she had nothing to hide. She is very professional and she runs her business in a way that exceeded all of our expectations (particularly after having to deal with the previous breeder we used). We never met her and yet, I feel as though we are friends; We still chat on the phone from time to time and I feel that she genuinely cares that we were and will continue to be happy with our decision to choose her as a breeder. Lincoln is very healthy and very happy. We could tell that he was very loved before we adopted him because of how affectionate, trusting and outgoing he is. He is so sweet and loves to cuddle, loves to play and he actually had learned not to bite before we even got him. He also responded to his name when we got him (which tells us that he was being called by his name all along). He is very smart, calm and gentle which makes training a breeze.. Pam breeds puppies that have incredible temperaments, and I have no reservation in recommending her to anyone. When it comes time that we buy another portie, she will be the first person we call!
