ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Some things that make us Different:
1. We pride ourselves in good ethics and transparency.
2. We are a family based, (licensed Kennel coming soon!) breeder. Every single puppy is born in our home. We expose all of our pups daily, to a variety of different people of all ages, and abilities. Our puppies leave our home very social and comfortable with people and other dogs.
3. We health and genetic test ALL of our breeding dogs. No exceptions! This includes DNA testing to ensure our dogs are all pure. We also include testing for over 180 traits and genetic conditions. We pride ourselves in producing healthy puppies.
4. Our main focus and goal is health and temperament. We work diligently and hard to produce dogs that will thrive with different families and their hobbies. Our growing and evolving curriculum helps our puppies grow and be exposed to many surfaces, toys, noises, smells etc. This helps our puppies go home confident and healthy.
5. We Enjoy working directly with our families. We enjoy speaking personally with each potential customer. We want you to get to know us and us to get to know you. We do not breed unless we have an established waiting list! I never want to contribute to any over population of dogs not finding great homes.
6. All of our dogs and puppies are patients of the Seaforth Animal Hospital. Dr Hanna takes excellent care of our puppies health checks, vaccines and any other health concerns. Our puppies are all dewormed biweekly.
​
7. We enjoy taking our puppies through our growing and developing program. We want to help develop their skills and confidence during their time here with us. Daily activities are an important part of developing well mannered, compliant and confident puppies that will thrive in many different households.
8. Our puppies are fortunate to enjoy both indoor and outdoor play spaces. We have a large fenced backyard that includes a separate enclosed puppy area. We also have a small kennel building so puppies can play and explore indoors when the weather is not ideal. This keeps all puppies safe in a space that they can explore, run and play in.
9. At 7 weeks old we do an extensive evaluation of each puppy. This is done individually, in an unfamiliar room, with an unfamiliar human and dog. This evaluation gives us a lot of valuable information about each puppy and their personality. This information we pass onto every puppy family waiting to pick their puppy. Puppies are picked by each family/person in order of deposits received. This evaluation gives the puppy family a great understanding of the traits that can help them chose their puppy.
10. Our puppies are all microchipped and genetically guaranteed for 2years. Each puppy we produce we are responsible for. We will troubleshoot training tips and help rehome if ever needed. We never want one of our puppies or dogs ending up in a shelter or rescue. We will take back a dog at any age and help rehome them if needed.
Our Take on CKC and Licenses
We do not have a membership with the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club). Keep in mind, a membership in the CKC (or any other club) is not any guarantee of quality, or ethics. Honestly, all this membership means is you pay your annual dues to a club and can use the term "purebred". Any breeder that owns a CKC dog can be a member. If you want to have a dog that you can compete in shows with, you will need to have a CKC registered dog. Our focus is on healthy family household pets.
If you want to be in the show ring or place high value in confirmation (a resume of ribbons and show status) than CKC is for you. For us, we breed for family homes, companionship or therapy and overall health and good temperament dogs. We purchase and support ethical and purposeful breeding of healthy happy dogs. Period. Whether a breeder is CKC or not, we value responsible, ethical and legal/licensed breeders. Please do your research and find a breeder that is aligned with your needs and views to work with. There is no one size fits all approach to dogs.
As for licensing....one of the only licenses available in Canada, to dog breeders, is a kennel license. If a breeder does not have an inspection from the humane society or bylaw, they cannot be licensed. Some provinces have a smaller scale license that are inspected and enforced by the local humane society. Most municipalities in Ontario are inspected and licensed through the municipality bylaw and animal control laws. We always try our best to be the best we can be. We will continue to raise puppies in our home and kennel (once old enough) and do things as we always have. With integrity, honesty and responsibly.
