Hello,
Linda and Dave,
Lori and I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with “Desi” our
2nd Havenese puppy. Surprisingly, he has adapted quickly to his new surroundings and his new companion “Lucy”
loves him dearly….we hit the jackpot!!!!
I have to add that I’ve had the pleasure of owning
several puppies over the past 40 years and this purchase experience was by far the most exceptional and professional in so
many ways. I realized immediately upon my first visit to your home and observed firsthand how caring and dedicated you both
were in raising your pups, Kamolot was the breeder for us.
Please add Lori and I to your list of references
and don’t be shy to hand out our phone #’s
Thanks again
Bruce and Lori
Hi Linda:
We just want to let you know what a wonderful experience we have had purchasing our very first Havanese puppy
Bella from you. You have been nothing but helpful and professional from the first moment I emailed you and then spoke
with you on the phone regarding reserving one of the puppies to be with the October 2011 litter of Miss Dawcee and Rowdy.
Your knowledge in answering all of my many questions and the patience and time you provided to me just prove
to me that you/Casa Kamolot Kennels are extremely reputable and professional. I would never have any concerns recommending
you to anyone. The videos you posted kept me feeling like I was there from the time she was born. It was wonderful
to watch her grow and change in just a few short weeks. Also to see where she was kept and how clean her surroundings
were.
You went out of your way to meet us half way to bring our beautiful, healthy and happy Bella to us.
You made sure we were comfortable and had all the necessary paperwork regarding her purebred papers. Never at all did
we feel rushed. You even went out of your way and had a pen made for us after I inquired about the one you had in the
videos. You emailed us after the first night to make sure all was well and if we had any more questions. You also
made it known that you are available either by phone or email at anytime whether now or in the future if we have any questions
or concerns. This is a comfort to know that she is not just sold and then we cannot have further contact with you.
Linda it has been our pleasure to have met you and your husband and we are so grateful that we purchased such
a beautiful Havanese puppy from you.
Truly the best experience I have encountered regarding purchasing a
puppy.
Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Janet Fredericks and Maurice Bastarache

Kennedy and her husband are wonderful people and excellent breeders of portuguese water dogs. This was our first time getting
a puppy and Linda was generous, professional, and patient with our questions. You can tell that she loves her dogs and cares
for them sincerely. Our puppy is wonderful and beautiful. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda to anyone who wishes to have a
PWD. Please feel free to call and we can share our experience with you.

After decades of law practice, I did what a lawyer does, research and due diligence.
Everything I checked into confirmed that Linda had the right philosophy, turned out great pups and had
very satisfied families as a result. Marley is almost 5 months and my wife and I are absolutely delighted with him.
Clearly, we made the right choice.

RE : Kamolot Kennels
I’m very pleased
to be able to write this recommendation for Kamolot Kennels, operated by Linda and David Kennedy.
We recently purchased
a PWD puppy from them that we named Duke. He’s an absolutely lovely pup and we just love him. He
adjusted quickly to our home and family routine and is turning out to be a very bright and active dog.
Linda and David were terrific throughout the process. Once we met the puppy
(at 4 weeks) and decided he was the one for us, Linda did a good job of keeping us informed of his progress
up to the day we picked him up. She was also great at going through all the paper work, particularly the information about
the various tests and vet reports attesting to the health of the dog.
The facilities (kennels
and their home) were spotless and all the dogs (and they do have a number of them!) are very well cared for, appear to be
socially adjusted and are most certainly loved!
All in all, I would not hesitate to
recommend them highly.

We are very pleased with our dogs
and with our dealings with Linda & Dave. My husband and I purchased two from the same litter born in June
2005 and a third from the litter born November 2006. We felt like we were welcomed
as part of the family when we got our dog and we wouldn't dream of getting a dog anywhere else.
We trust the Kennedy's and found
them to be exceptional in their care of their dogs. What I particularly liked was that we were invited
and encouraged to visit the pups (and their parents) frequently before they came home with us. The pups
are cared for in the kitchen of the home where they are close to the family and able to interact with visitors.
In fact, all of our dogs were very well socialized and responded calmly in a wide variety of situations after they
came to our home. We have had no health problems with our dogs, they are robust, energetic and full of
curiosity!
Our dogs from Kamolot Kennels are loving, smart, joyful and silly.
Each has a very distinct personality but all have gentle dispositions, especially
around little children. I would absolutely recommend Kamolot Kennels. Linda and David are caring individuals who understand
the breed, and breeding very well.

Our experience with
Kamolot Kennels has been fantastic! From the moment we met Linda and Dave, they made us feel very comfortable. We were particularly
impressed with how open they were; by the end of our first 2 hours in their home they had earned our trust and we had learned
a lot about Portuguese Water Dogs.
The puppies were amazing. It was clear that Linda and Dave had done
this many times before. The puppies were in excellent shape and were clearly very happy. It was an easy decision to get a
PWD from Kamolot Kennels. Just a few short weeks later we took home our own PWD Dexter and we have been happy ever since.
Dexter is
a joy in our home and we’re very impressed with him. It feels good knowing that we got our dog from a quality breeder.
It is also comforting to know that we belong to large network of other Kamolot Kennel PWD owners. If we ever have a question,
concern, or just a happy story to share then we have somewhere to go. Linda and Dave are also a huge wealth of information
and ready to hear from us whenever we have a concern.
We would like to thank Kamolot Kennels for helping us extend our family.

I recently purchased a Portuguese Water Dog, Kiefer, from Linda and Dave Kennedy of Kamolot Kennels. From our first
conversation on the phone to our meeting at the airport on the day I brought my puppy home, Linda and Dave were tremendously
warm, responsive, and helpful. Linda kept in close contact with me as we approached the puppy's birth and throughout
the first eight weeks of his life. Since bringing Kiefer home with me, Linda has stayed in touch through e-mails
and the Kamolot Kennels member web site.
Although I have had dogs my whole life, this is my first PWD. I am now one
of the breed's biggest fans. These dogs are smart, extremely loving, and very playful. It was apparent from the
moment we met Kiefer that he had been a part of a very active and loving family during his first 8 weeks of life. He
adjusted immediately to the noise, commotion, and overall chaos that often fills our home. Within minutes, he won over
my three children (ages 5, 10, and 14,) my husband and me. He has been incredibly quick to learn and sincerely interested
in pleasing. It is very clear that he was handled often, socialized with adults and children, and allowed to interact
with a variety of dogs. He is extremely social - eager to greet anyone (both 2-legged and 4-legged) with enthusiasm
and gentleness. Linda and Dave provided such a terrific beginning that house breaking was quick and easy.
While all puppies are cute, the temperament of a puppy is so strongly affected by the experiences it has in its first weeks
of life. Kiefer's time with the Kennedy family was obviously filled with numerous positives.
Our last dog seemed to prefer
human contact in small doses. Not so with a PWD. This is not a breed that wants to be left alone or left
behind. Kiefer follows us from room to room and lays at our feet when we're still. He goes everywhere with us
and makes us proud with each new encounter we offer him. We feel so fortunate to have met Linda and Dave. Thanks
to them, our family has a very affectionate, smart, energetic, healthy puppy. I highly recommend Linda, Dave, and
Kamolot Kennels to anyone interested in a dog who will be a true family member.

We were
a family in search of a dog that would complete our family and got it through Abbie. Abbie is a beautiful PWD and the love
of our lives. Emily our daughter (only child) wanted a dog to feel like she was not alone, my husband wanted one to keep him
busy and challenged and I wanted one to keep me grounded. We did our research and a PWD seems the best match. Abbie came into
our lives August 25 th 2009, and has changed our lives in such a great way, Abbie is great natured and full of fun and a great
dog to be with. Our vet and even the dog trainer told us her character and nature and we lucked out. I know the first weeks
of a dogs life is very important and I know Linda took great care of Abbie. Linda was there to answer questions , and make
sure that Abbie went to us in good health and well balanced.
