CKC

Please do not look to the CKC for help with any issues about any breeder.  My understanding is they are not a governing body.  A breeder pays their fee to join,  that's it; they don't investigate the quality

SEIZURES, ADDISON'S DISEASE etc...

Thank you to those who have continued to share.  I am very sorry to hear that so many health issues are continuing with this breeder.  It's obvious to me that the males and females being used to breed have health issues they're passing along.  On top of this the puppies from what I know are not properly socialized for their first 8 weeks. At least this was the case around the time we adopted our PWD as I was informed by a previous worker with Pam.

Willow Creek Water Dogs is same breeder as Bayport Water Dogs

I feel compelled to tell my story as I have pretty much an identical situation to Denise our dog from bay port is eight turning nine and has bit me and my son in law recently twice. . And is aggressively attacking other dogs with no provocation. He is not right simple as that. We have tried for eight years to deal with his anxiety and have loved him through it all. We plan on taking him to the vet tomorrow to see if there is something else physically wrong. Part of me hopes there is to explain his behaviour which is growing so much worse. I do blame the breeder. She is a deceitful piece of work. This is our second porty as an aside our first died of cancer. A truly wonderful dog from a different breeder. We called her and brought home a re homed puppy she and her kids she said called pirate. You want to know why he was blind in one eye we found this out when we took him to the vet for shots!, When we finally got hold of her after constant phone calls e mails she said she did not know!! We lived on property and paid all that money for a dog who was blind in one eye and we wanted our money back! she would not give us our money back but took the dog back and would gave us a pup from her next litter. The dog who just attacked a dog for no reason last night. And everyone from my kids to our friends think is crazy. It’s like a switch goes off and he can’t control himself. So for all of you who have been extolling Pam’s virtues good for you. This however is my very true story.

After not using the Email related to this account for almost 2 years I have reactivated it. Sorry for unanswered emails. I've been urged to keep this blog going as the issues regarding Pam Headon Schleuter as a breeder continue to be a problem.

New Information received November 2013

Keep me anonymous please but it has come to my attention that this breeder isn't allowed to travel to the US.   Something to do with importing a dog improperly. It seems the dog ended up at the SPCA in Buffalo or Detroit or somewhere.

Important Rules to finding a Reputable PWD Breeder.....

1.  Check out the breeder with the closest PWD Rescue Organization.

 http://www.canadasguidetodogs.com/retrievers/pwd_rescue.htm


2.  The breeder isn't doing this "to make money"!

 Serious and dedicated hobby breeders do not really expect to make a profit from selling puppies. They breed dogs for the enjoyment and pride that comes from producing high quality, happy, healthy puppies that become cherished family companions. These breeders acknowledge responsibility for each and every puppy produced and stand behind every dog they breed. (taken directly from the PWD Rescue Website)


3.  A CKC registration does not mean the breeder is reputable....the breeder basically has paid their fees to belong.
