About Me
My name is Pam Bober and I own Silver Sands Portuguese Water Dogs. I share my home with my husband, 2 daughters, a house full of Pwds, a boxer and 2 cats. I am a mobile dog groomer as well as a breeder of Portuguese Water Dogs.
As long as I can remember, I have always had a love for all animals. This passion led me to the North Jersey School of Dog Grooming in 1986. This led me to participate in grooming competitions that eventually introduced me to the world of dog shows. My first show dog was a boxer that I purchased shortly after getting married. It didn’t take long until I was off and running to the show ring, and successfully started a breeding program producing several boxer Champions. In 1992, I began my career as an all breed professional dog show handler. This gave me the opportunity to meet and work with lots of breeders from all over the country. I absolutely loved working with all the different breeds over the years. They all had their own unique personalities and characteristics. There was one breed that stood out for me and that is how I fell in love with the Portuguese Water dog.
Eventually I acquired my own Portuguese Water Dog, and not long after, I started my own breeding program known as Silver Sands Portuguese Water Dogs. I have produced many Champions as well as many that have titles in Water, Obedience, Rally, Agility, and Scentwork. I am also pleased that several of my dog have become working Therapy Dogs. I am proud of all my puppies, those that are out there working or winning ribbons, and those that are at home working hard being great
family pets. All my puppies are raised in my home with my family. Everything I've learned over the years helps me to raise wonderful companions. My love and passion for this breed is strong, and I am dedicated to preserving the special qualities of the Portuguese Water Dog.
I have made a lot of good friends along this journey and I am grateful for all my dog show and breeder friends that share my same passion. I am very thankful to all the wonderful families that have my dogs and are now a part of The Silver Sands Family!
