Bayswater Portuguese Water Dogs
Meet the breeder
I'm Mary-Kay S., the breeder behind Bayswater Portuguese Water Dogs located in Morse Lake, IN. I have been breeding Portuguese Water Dogs since 1993. I offer top-quality pups with a focus on health, temperament, conformation, and drive. I am an AKC Breeder of Merit and have been a Water Judge for the national breed club for over 15 years. I look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Mary-Kay
Why did you start breeding?
Responsible, ethical breeders play an important role for the future of the dog ecosystem. We are guardians for the future Portuguese Water Dogs. My goal is to not only continue my award winning lines, but to breed healthy puppies and preserve the unique qualities and wellness of these incredible companions. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising, training, and competing with these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
In my program, I raise and train my beloved Portuguese Water Dogs. I have finished many of my dogs in conformation agility, obedience, and water sports, and all of my dogs have obtained the highest level water titles! I also ensure that they are fully healthy prior to breeding. I am dedicated to continuing my phenomenal bloodlines in an effort to provide others with loving, healthy, versatile, and happy Portuguese Water Dog puppies!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
