Anna's puppies are growing like weeds. There is still one little boy available. 

Kennya is due this week to have her puppies and we are very excited about that. She is such a great mother and her pups are so amazingly calm. There is still some room on the waiting list depending on how many she has. Please call or email with puppy application. The deposits will be due as soon as the puppies are born. We will call everyone on our waiting list in the order they have contacted us. We are still waiting for Kara to come into heat.

We are looking for Guardian homes for Retrievers if anyone is interested.

We have some exciting litters coming up! Anna and Geordie are expecting a litter of red Miniature Poodles around Valentines day (Feb 14, 2010). Kara and Teddie will have an F1B Goldendoodle litter planned for March - April of 2010. Kennya and Levi will have an F1 Goldendoodle litter planned for February - April of 2010. If you are interested in any of these litters, please give us a call to be added to a waiting list.

Levi found a wonderful new home. He is doing well and is happy with his new family. 

GROOMING AVAILABLE! I am offering discounts to those who refer customers to me. Please contact me to book your next grooming appointment.

All the puppies have now found new homes. If you are interested in a puppy, please contact us to be added to the waiting list for the next upcoming litter.

Levi, our apricot Standard Poodle is looking for a new home. He is very well trained and well socialized. He is a sweet dog. He is currently at a camp where he is not doing well with the constant change of people coming in and out weekly so he would do better in a more constant environment. The constant change of new people is a little too stressful for him. Let us know if you are considering Levi or have any questions regarding him. You can view more about him on his own page.

GROOMING AVAILABLE! I am grooming out of my home currently. Please contact me to book an appointment before the Christmas holidays.

Nibs, our last remaining Goldendoodle puppy, is looking for a loving home. She has a very sweet personality and is easy going. She is not yappy or barky at all. She loves to play and is well socialized with people and animals. She is very cuddly and loving, and would love to find a family to love her back. Please contact us if you are interested or have any questions about her.

We have four Goldendoodle females ready to go to good homes. They are all very sweet in nature and are going to be people pleasers. Pictures are now updated on the available page. 

We would like to update some pictures of past litters on our website. If you have purchased a puppy/dog from us, please email us some pictures for us to post on the website. We love to see how everyone has grown and an update on how they are doing.

Amanda (that's me) is back here and grooming again. If you are looking for a dog groomer or know of family and friends looking for a groomer, we are now offering that service again. I will try to get some before and after pictures posted as soon as I can. I will also be updating my prices. I trained under a master groomer for a few months while I was in BC. I have learned a lot and have improved on a lot of techniques.  Please give me a call if you would like to book a grooming appointment with me. 780-968-3884 (ask for Amanda).

Kennya's puppies are all doing well and in good health. She is feeding them very well and they are all chubby. She has five little ones, 4 girls and 1 boy. Check out the available page for recent pictures. Please contact us if you would like to reserve a puppy.

Unfortunately, Anna did not have puppies this time around. She fooled us as she pretended to nest and did all the right things to show us she was pregnant, except gain weight. We are looking forward to breeding her on her next heat cycle, which we expect to be in December - January. 

We decided not to breed Kara this cycle after all. There are way to many things going on so we will be breeding her on her next cycle, which we expect to come around February. We are planning on a litter of F1B Goldendoodles, sired by Teddie. Please contact us if you wish to be on the waiting list for this litter.

Lori

Monday, August 10, 2009

Kennya is having puppies as we speak. So far there is a blonde boy and a black girl. She is doing well considering it is her first litter and we thought she would need a c-section. So this is very good. If you are on a waiting list I will be contacting you once the litter is all whelped. If you would like a puppy from this litter please forward your puppy application and a $200.00 deposit or email or call with any questions you may have. Puppies would be ready to go by late September, early October.

Anna is due August 19th and is very tiny yet. We will see if she has a small litter very soon. If you are waiting for a puppy from this litter we will contact you as soon as they have arrived. 

Kara is now in heat and we will be breeding her to Teddie for an F1B litter for later this fall. Please call if you wish to be on this list.

Our last puppy from Abby and Painter's litter (Murphy) left for his new home today.  .

Anna is starting to eat more, so we are reasonably certain she is busy trying to grow puppies.   Make sure to contact us to be on a waiting list, fill out an application and send it to us as soon as possible.

Lori

Friday, June 26, 2009

We only have one puppy left from Abby and Painter's Litter. Murphy is a cutie and I am sure will go soon. They sure are big and fun already. They love playing in the yard and Maggie does such a good job being a nanny. She LOVES puppies!!! We also had four kittens a while back that are available for free. Only on is spoken for. We will post pictures on the front page. 

Kennya recently came into heat and we discovered when trying to breed her that she is not a good candidate for breeding due to difficulty she would have in delivering. She would have to have a C-section for sure even if we actually got her bred. So we have made the tough decision to retire her which leaves us with very few females to breed right now. We will be looking for a guardian home for a retriever if anyone is interested. 

Anna and Tuxie were bred last week and Anna will be expecting puppies in mid August. If you wish to be on the list, please fill in an application and get it to us soon. Her last litter was spectacular. They were beautiful puppies. That is all for now!

Abby and Painter's puppies are growing like crazy. They are now on soft food and have their first teeth. Abby is doing an amazing job of caring for them as usual. They have been out to the lake, outside and cuddles endlessly by Debbie and her entourage of puppy cuddlers. These are very socialized puppies. There are four left at this time and they will be ready to on June 11, 2009. They will be going for their shots and vet check next week. We are currently waiting for Anna and Kennya to come into heat. If you wish to be added to the waiting list for either litter please fill in an on-line puppy application and send it to us by email or fax.

Great news!! Abby and Painter had their first litter together today. Abby delivered 10 healthy puppies. We have 8 males, 2 females. Two of the males are black and the rest are varying degrees of cream to red. We have had a lot of interest in this litter and have a waiting list to contact. If you are interest please fill in the online puppy application under the forms section of our site. We do require a $200.00 deposit to hold a puppy at this time and will be in touch with those who have previously expressed interest first. 

Lori

Saturday, April 18, 2009

We have only one puppy left at this time from our litters of standard and mini poodles. They all went to wonderful homes and we are so thrilled. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Abby and Painter's first litter together this coming week. It will be interesting to see if any color comes into this litter from Painter's black and white. If you are on the waiting list for this litter I will be calling you as soon as they arrive. Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather as much as we are. The dogs are so happy to be outside playing on the lawn and the mud is almost gone. Thank goodness!! A house without a trail of paw prints is much nicer to live in.

Lori

Anna's babies received their first shots and were dewormed and vet checked. They are both doing great and weighed the exact same 1.49kg at the vet at 6 weeks. They also experienced their first hair cut and had their noses shaved. They look so adorable. We took them to Jen's choir and to a few pet stores to socialize them and they are both so laid back and sweet. They are now eating solids and are almost completely weaned. They will be ready to go in about a week. Both are still available. Very calm puppies from very calm parents. They should both be great dogs.

Kara's puppies are growing so fast!! She has the most milk of any mom we have ever had. They are always sleeping because they are so fat! Little Gulliver is the smallest and yet was the first to open his eyes and he is already exploring the entire pen, not afraid to venture away from his litter mates. Cash on the other hand is a gentle giant and spends most of his time in the puppy pile keeping everyone warm and cozy. 

Lori

Friday, February 20, 2009

Kara and her pups  are doing great. The puppies are growing like weeds. They are so sweet.

Abby was  bred today and will be expecting puppies at the middle of April. We have a fairly long waiting list for this litter but if you wish to be added to the list, please contact us. For all those waiting for this litter we will keep you posted. 

Ana's babies go to the vet for their first shots next week. They will also get their first haircut. They are doing great and Ana is a wonderful mother. Both Topher and Alejandro are very laid back little guys and are huge already. They will be ready to go home in two weeks.

Lori

Thursday, February 12, 2009

Kara and her pups made their first visit to the vet to get tails and dewclaws done. Everyone at the clinic was gushing about how cute these little ones are. They are all doing great and have already grown since yesterday.

Abby just came into heat today and will be bred at the end of next week. We would be expecting a litter of puppies in 2 months. For all those waiting for this litter we will keep you posted. We have  a fairly long list for this litter already.

Ironically the largest and smallest pups are both males. If you are interested in these pups please contact us and get your name on the waiting list for one of these gorgeous pups.

Ana's puppies are growing like weeds and are looking for homes. They will be ready to go in four weeks. They are so cute and starting to play and growl at each other and love being cuddled. Please call if you are interested in one of these cute puppies. They will be registered miniature poodles.

 All our pups are now spoken for, and the last one will be flying to his new home next week.  Thanks to each of you who have provided our pups a new home.  We always love to hear from "our kids".  Anna is healthy and beginning to show nesting behaviour..... under Jen's bed.  Now we wait.......  Contact us to be put on the waiting list for any of our next litters of poodles.

Merry Christmas everyone!

 We are so delighted with the great homes the puppies are going to. There are only three left. We would love to see them with their families so they can bond.

Anna is huge and still has 3 1/2 weeks until she is due. We are hoping for a smooth delivery.

Lori

Thursday, December 18, 2008

Just wanted to update everyone on the puppies. They had their vaccinations and vet checks yesterday. they are all doing very well. They had a busy day as after the vet they visited the school, Harry's work and back home. Their personalities are really starting to come out and they are a lot of fun to watch play together. They are definitely starting to want people more than mom. They are almost 100% weaned and are on 1/2 solid and 1/2 soft food. By next week they will be on solid food only.

Anna is sleeping a lot building babies as well. We can't wait to see her beautiful babies as well.

Kara and Painter were successfully bred and we eagerly anticipate that litter in mid-February. 

Hope everyone has a happy holiday and enjoys their new puppies when they get home.

Lori

Sunday, December 7, 2008

Maggie's puppies are growing and doing very well. The new pictures on our puppy page show how much they have changed already. They will be ready to go the week of Christmas. Please call if you are interested and visiting them as they are old enough for that now. We are also expecting a litter of puppies from Anna and Tuxie mid-January. This should be wonderful pairing with some interesting color combinations. If you are interested in being on the waiting list for this litter, please call and let us know. 

Also Kara and Painter will be bred this week and would be expecting a litter mid-February. This will be a standard poodle litter with a lot of color. They are both such beautiful dogs. Again,  if you wish to be put on the waiting list for this litter, please let us know.

Maggie has just finished giving birth to 11 healthy pups: 9 males and 2 females. They are all doing great. If you are currently on the waiting list, now would be the time to start sending a $200.00 deposit.  Feel free to email or call me if you have any questions. It is just before 11 pm and Maggie is being a great Mom, as expected.  They are all varying shades of cream to slightly reddish in color. It will be easier to tell once they are completely dry. We are very excited. Watch the web page for updates and individual pictures as they grow.

Sorry we have not updated for a while. We had a false pregnancy with Kara for a standard litter that did not materialize. Anna and Tuxie also did not successfully breed in her last cycle. We finally are expecting another litter.  Kenya and Painter are expecting a litter in late August. We have a few people on the waiting list. Please call or email if you are interested in puppies from this litter. The colors could be anything as Painter is a multi-color carrier.  We have also heard from many of our puppies families and they have provided pictures. Please check out the Past Litters page for updated pictures. 

Our eldest daughter Amanda, who usually does the website just got married April 26,2008. It makes me feel old to have a married child already. The day was beautiful and of course she is now living with her husband, Danny in Stony Plain. We get to see them often, but she isn't around to do her late night web work. So I will have to learn. Thanks for your patience.

Only one puppy remains without a family yet. Daisy is the only girl left. She is very sweet and will fit into a home with children or without. She loves to be cuddled and plays hard and then crashes. She is such a sweetie. 

This litter has amazing personalities. We have already heard from many of the new families and the pups are adjusting well to their new homes.

Amanda

Tues, Mar 18/08

The puppies are getting huge. They all had vet checks and vaccinations last week and did great! Not a whimper from anyone. Six of the puppies have gone to their new homes already There are still three for sale. Radar, Pride and Daisy are still waiting for new homes. They are all wonderful temperaments. Their coats are also getting longer by the day. Abby has bounced back quite nicely after doing such a great job raising these wonderful pups. Many thanks to Debbie and Peter (Abby's home) for the many hours they put in cuddling and caring for these little ones. It has sure shown in their personalities how much they have been socialized.

On another note, we will be expecting a litter of Kara X Painter pups late in May. They will be wonderful varieties of colors and awesome personalities as well. If you know anyone looking for Standard Poodles, tell them to call or check the website for updates. 

Amanda

Tues, Mar 4/08

Abby and Levi's puppies are growing like weeds. They will be ready for their new homes after March 17, 2008. They are going for their first vaccinations and vet check next week Wednesday.

It has been quite crazy around here. I apologize again for not updating the BLOG faithfully. Here's a quick update, as I am on the run again.

Ana is growing out her full puppy coat and looks adorable. She is still as smart and as cute as ever, just with a lot more hair. She sort of has an afro and looks like she could be from Jamaica with dreadlocks (sometimes). I will try to get some recent pictures up soon.

Maggie has fully recovered from her litter of 9 pups. She is now ready to take on the next challenge. She is due to come into heat sometime in the next few weeks. It could be any day now, actually. We are expecting her upcoming litter to be ready for homes around November - December. This litter will be F1B Doodles, bred to Gunther (our chocolate Standard Poodle). We expect the puppies to all be chocolate but we could be wrong. We'll have to wait and see.

Abby and Levi will be having a litter shortly after Maggie. Their puppies will be ready for homes in December - January. They will be F1 Doodles of an Apricot color. We have a long waiting list so get your deposits in soon.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I am looking forward to my own summer holidays as I need a good break from my several jobs and daily routines. Thanks for being patient with me and I hope to be back and get you all up to date on the next events. I am looking forward to adding some more Miniature to my breeding lines so please put the word out that I need guardian homes for some adorable red and black Miniature Poodle pups. I might even have a Chocolate pup coming soon. We'll see.

Amanda

Ginger's puppies got their first face shave today. They look so cute. Once I get some good pictures of them, I will post them on the web. 

Maggie's puppies are getting HUGE! I hardly recognize them after a day and they change so much so fast. Well, I will be sure to get some better pictures up of these guys when I get the chance as well. Thanks for being so patient with me. I've been so busy, it's hard to keep up. 

Amanda

Mon, May 7/07

Maggie's puppies are all on soft food now. They are getting very social and love attention. They are all so big and moving around a lot. They are starting to become rambunctious and are exploring every inch of every space they encounter. Their personalities are all outstanding and they are all very smart. There are only two puppies left! 

Ginger's puppies are starting to crave attention now and are getting a longer coat. They all have little cowlicks and their hair is sticking out in every direction. They are so cute and getting around well on their feet. They are starting to explore their surroundings a little more and are becoming more attentive. 

Amanda

Sat, Apr 21/07

Maggie's puppies have there eyes and ears open now. They are SOOOO adorable!!! Check out the updated pictures on the Available page. They are starting to walk and wiggle around. Some of them are even getting out of their box now. They are wagging their tails to test them out and starting to bark and howl. They are growing so fast and are starting to get quite heavy. Over the last few days we've already seen a growth change. It's amazing that they grow so fast.

Ginger's puppies are starting to open their eyes now. In a few days, they will be completely open and will start to learn to walk. They are also very cute. The two parti pups are so cute, with very unique markings. I wish I could keep them all to myself! 

Amanda

Mon, Apr 12/07

All the puppies are healthy and growing like crazy. Maggie's puppies have doubled in weight in the last week and are now all close to two pounds each. They make all kinds of noises while they sleep and twitch as they chase bunny rabbits in their sleep. Ginger's puppies are so small when you have just visited Maggie's but they are all healthy and doing well. Both Ginger and Maggie are great moms. Ginger's litter is completely sold and Maggie has 6 puppies left in her litter. It is hard to believe they are already a week old. If you are interested in a puppy or would like to arrange a visit to come pick one out, please call or email and we would be happy to make arrangements for you to come and look.  Well, better get some sleep while I can. 

Amanda

As soon as the puppies are born, we will post pictures and more information. Sit tight and keep checking the website for updates. Here are some pictures of Ginger (left) and Maggie (right) in their late pregnancy. As you can see, they are quite round.

We are looking for a new guardian home for Levi. His guardian family is moving and can no longer keep him. If you would like to know more about Levi, please contact us or check out his individual page. The pictures are not recent (sorry!) as we were not able to get a good photo. As soon as we get some pictures, they will be posted on the website. He is now about 11 months old and has grown a ton since the pictures on his page. He is now fully grown and very handsome. Feel free to call for more information.

Well, Maggie and Ginger are definitely pregnant. They are getting quite large and starting to suck up to everyone. We can't wait to see what the outcome of these two litters are.

We have a new addition to our family...Anastasia! She is a dark red Miniature Poodle and she is so sweet. Pictures don't do her justice. She is so smart and doing well with housetraining already. She is quite curious and very confident, although she loves to cuddle and be with people. She follows you around at your heels, making sure she is not left behind. Then, when you sit down, she snuggles up in your legs or arms and surveys all the action taking place. 

We also have some sad news. Brooklyn, one of our gorgeous Golden Retrievers, has recently passed away. She was experiencing regular fainting spells after any level of activity. This became progressively worse. The veterinary ultrasounds showed a tumor in her heart which was interfering with her blood flow. We are sad that such an unusual and unavoidable event occurred to such a beautiful dog (both in looks and in personality) and she will always be remembered by us and most of all her guardian family who did such a great job in caring for her.

Well, for now, that's all the updates I have at the moment.

Sorry that I haven't blogged in a while. I have been busy with my new job. Well, Maggie did successfully breed with Teddie so we are expecting puppies from them come April.

Ginger is also in heat. We are hoping to breed her one last time because she throws such beautiful puppies. We will keep you updated on how this goes. 

For now,

Amanda

YAY!!!! Maggie is now in heat. We are breeding her to Teddie (our F1 Goldendoodle) this upcoming week and will be expecting puppies to come about the first week of April, ready for homes the middle of May. The puppies will be F2 Goldendoodles. We are very excited for this litter and can't wait to see the outcome.

Waiting excitedly,

Amanda

We are hoping to be able to use Brooklyn for her first litter in about 6 months from now. She is doing well and is happy and healthy in her loving guardian home.

Maggie just recently got a new haircut. She is now sporting a very Poodle-like look. We love our Maggie shaggy, however, she needed a shave so we thought we would demonstrate the different looks that a dog can have. It all depends on the hair style.

Here are the before and after pictures. Without all that hair, we thought she might get a little cold outside in the snow, but she loves it just as much and still begs to go outside every half hour. Ginger doesn't even recognize Maggie anymore. She knows that she smells the same but still doesn't think she's the same dog as she looks entirely different.

Recently, I have been receiving emails from some of the puppy owners from Mocha and Bhima's litter. All the puppies are doing well and learning lots in their new homes. I have received some pictures as well, which are posted on the Past Litters page and the Standard Gallery page as well. They are all growing so fast and getting big. Gunther is about as big as Maggie now and not yet fully grown. Pinot and Sassy are enjoying their winter holiday. Miss Moki is doing well also with her new pal Capi. April is also doing well. She is an outstanding dog and is very smart. Thanks to all the dog owners that sent me pictures and updates.

Well, check out all the new pictures. Thanks to all of you who keep checking our site regularly. We are hoping to expect our first litter with Maggie soon. And then next we expect with either Brooklyn or Abby.

That's all for now,

Amanda

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I wish you all a great new year and the best of luck with your new year's resolutions. 

Well, Teddie is a new dad. He is the father of 9 healthy F2 Doodle puppies that live in Calgary with another breeder. Ironically, the female's name is Maggie. We are glad to hear that they are doing well.

We are expecting our Maggie to come into heat in the near future, this month or the next. Her expected heat should come sometime in February, so we will definitely keep you posted on when she is ready for her first litter. We can't wait and are so excited.

Tux, my new Tuxedo Parti Miniature Poodle is scheduled to come on Friday the 12th. I can't wait to meet him. He sounds like a sweet heart. Check out his new page. I am also waiting on a female to come from a breeder in Ohio. She is black with Parti genetics. She just had her first litter of 5 puppies, so we are waiting until her puppies are weaned before she will arrive here in Edmonton. She is looking for a guardian home so if you are interested, please let me know. I am happy to answer any questions you have about her. You can also check out the available page where she is posted and there are some pictures of her as well.

That's all for this update...I would love to hear from you.

The Christmas weekend is fast approaching and we are scrambling to get everything ready. We are hosting Christmas dinner at our nearly finished and newly renovated house.

Maggie loves it here on the acreage. She can't help but run and dash through the snow, bounding from neighbor to neighbor. She usually comes when we call but there are just too many interesting smells to follow.

We have several family of deer that are regularly tramping through our yard and pasture. We don't mind of course, it's such a beautiful site to admire. It's hard to remember that they come daily, so someone always jumps to grab the camera and takes about 40 to 100 pictures every time we see a couple deer. You do the math!

I have some good news and bad news to share with all you Miniature Poodle lovers. The bad news or the good news first? Well, the good news is, I am purchasing two new Miniature Poodles to add to my breeding lines. The male is a Tuxedo Parti, the female is a black Mini with Parti genetics. The male is being shipped here sometime next week, we are hoping (depends on the weather). For the bad news, the female became "accidentally" pregnant before we had all the shipping arrangements in order so she is going to be staying a little longer than expected. She will arrive once her pups have been weaned. 

Here is the most recent picture of our darling Maggie as she models her Christmas present. Check out all the Breed Gallery's for new pictures. There are some priceless ones of Maggie, as usual. What a character she is. 

We wish you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year. We hope you all enjoy this holiday season.

Amanda

Wow, I haven't blogged in a while. I apologize to all those who faithfully check the website, as there have been no recent updates through our moving process. Thanks to all those requesting and reminding me to update the blog. 

Well, for starters, Ginger went through a false pregnancy. She did not end up having puppies, but did a good job at acting pregnant to convince us to feed her puppy food. It was a disappointment, but we are somewhat thankful as the timing would have been really bad with our renovation plans. 

We are now in our new house, in a camping state amongst the disaster. We are nearing completion with little details to finish before we can unload our moving truck and unpack our furniture and other belongings. We are excited to be able to do that this weekend, as we cross our fingers. Our new place is great! Our new kitchen is very close to finished and working, minus the stove and sink not working yet (hoping for that to happen by the end of the day). 

Newest update on Kara...she is staying in Calgary in a guardian home. She loves it there and is doing well. She has adapted quickly to her new place and her new mom adores her, along with the kids. 

Maggie is loving the acreage. She tends to wander to the neighbor's, looking for a new friend in Rocky (a Chocolate Lab). We are planning to put up a big run for the dogs as soon as things are settled. Her favorite thing to do is bound through the snow, imitating deer or rabbits. Considering her size, she looks more like a deer in my opinion.

Speaking of deer, we get tons in the backyard. Almost everyday, we have a few walking through the yard or pasture, scouting for food or just taking a leisurely walk. The other day we saw 7 of them, doe with fawn trailing behind. I will have to post some of the pictures I took when I have the time.

Thanks to all those faithful customers who have come for grooming among the chaos. You are keeping me in business! :-)

We took a couple of the dogs to an eye clinic in November. Teddie, Maggie, Painter, and Brooklyn did very well and all have clear eyes. They were all very well behaved as well. Thanks to the guardian parents for coming out and helping with that.

Well, to say the least, we have been busy. I will hopefully get to post some before and after pictures of the new house on the web when I get the chance. Now that we have internet access at home, it will be much easier to update the website. Thanks for being patient. 

Back to painting I go,

Amanda

Mon, Nov 6/06

Ginger is nearing her due date, although she has not expanded in her midsection as much as I had hoped for. We are still hoping that she caught on this breeding. 

Teddie bred to an F1 Goldendoodle female from a breeder in Calgary last week to produce F2 Goldendoodle pups. We are excited to see what their puppies look like. If you are interested in seeing pictures, check out the website at www.windyhillskennel.com. The female he bred to is also named Maggie. Quite ironic!

Renovations at the new house are going great. We are hoping the main level will be completed by the end of this week or beginning of next week. Until then, we are working hard to get finished.

HI-HO-HI-HO, it's off to work we go...

Amanda

Fri, Oct 27/06

Ginger and Littles are now expecting a litter of puppies on November 9, 2006. That is just the due date so keep checking the website for any further updates on when they arrive. Pictures and details will be posted on the available page. We are very excited to see the outcome.

Maggie and Duke are having a blast together. They are best of buddies and partners in crime. They like to play in the garden and get into mischief together when no one is looking. They refuse to each their own food because they other one's food looks a whole lot better. 

Kara is doing so good. She is hanging out with us at the acreage while we do our renovations. She loves the outdoors but loves to be where everyone else is even more. She is happy to sleep at the front door or watch the renovations take place, as long as she is around people. She is so smart and loves to run. She is such a happy girl with beautiful color and conformation. We are looking forward to seeing what her puppies look like in the future. We took Kara along in the car while running errands the other day and we went through the car wash. She was so funny because she didn't know what was going on. She wasn't scare but kept looking at all the windows as the water was pouring down the sides. She kept cocking her head out of curiosity. It was so cute. 

Our new contact information has changed. I don't have it in front of me so I can't tell you our address yet. I can tell you how to reach us, however. We can be reached by cell phone at 780-993-8309. Our new home phone number is 780-968-3884, but with the renovations taking place, it is not a guarantee that we will answer. We now live in Stony Plain and renovations are going well. We hope to be somewhat settled in the new house in about 2 weeks.

Wishfully thinking,

Amanda

Fri, Oct 13/06

We are out of the old house now, but are waiting on renovations to take place. We are not yet in the new house so it will be another week or so. 

Abby is growing bigger. We do not have recent pictures of her yet but will soon. Maggie and Teddie are fully grown now and are such dolls. They are big teddy bears and love to give big bear hugs. Maggie is so tolerant. Right now she is staying in the same house as another dog, Duke (Bichon Frise) and they play together for hours. Maggie seems to know her own strength because she never plays harder than the dog she's playing with. She is very gentle with other dogs and loves to drag toys in front of them to convince them to play. 

Everyone is healthy and happy at this point. We are hoping to get some tests done in the next month or two for the older dogs so they are ready for breeding in the spring. 

Till next time,

Amanda

Tues, Oct 3/06

We are almost prepared for our move this weekend. We are anxious to get into the new house. The moving process will take about two weeks so I apologize ahead of time for not updating the website during that period of time. 

Levi had his first haircut today. We were trying to grow out his coat to show him in the spring, but the timing isn't right. We would love to show him in the future because he is such a good prospect.

Kara had her face shaved today. I was surprised at how still she sat. She is quite the phenomenal dog. She is so intelligent and has amazing confirmation. She would do wonderful in agility and flyball competitions, and would make an outstanding athlete. She will grow to be quite tall and she is very agile and energetic. She is such a sweetheart and adores attention. She gets along with other dogs but is so much more attentive to people. 

Littles is doing well in his new home. He seems to enjoy the kids and vice versa. 

We love our dogs,

Amanda

Wed, Sept 20/06

There are lots of new pictures added to the website. Check out the Gallery, Doodle Gallery, Miniature Poodle Gallery, and Standard Poodle Gallery. Also, check out Maggie's page. She has a new haircut. Some photos on the services page have changed also.

Littles has now found a home. He went to a nice family with kids that will give him tons of attention. Some updated pictures of him will be up soon. He also made the Poodle calendar for 2008. That's so exciting.

Stay tuned,

Amanda

Tues, Sept 19/06

Sorry, it been a while. We have been extremely busy with our new house plans and getting packed for the move. I previously mentioned about breeding Littles and Ginger for a litter in December. We hope that she caught and is pregnant, but I can't give any guarantees yet. I will be sure to post it as soon as I am sure. I can't wait to see the outcome along with a few other people I have talked to.

We still have three dogs looking for permanent guardian homes so please spread the word for us as we are moving in less than a month. They are all adorable and are looking for loving homes. They are all fairly well behaved and each have a different but great personality.

Check out the breed information pages. They are up and finished now. If you have any suggestions for changes to be made, let me know. I would love to hear feedback. 

Nothing more to say,

Amanda

Thurs, Sept 7/06

I have decided to use Littles to breed with Ginger this fall. The puppies are expected to come in December. We are expecting red, apricot, and cream puppies. I can't wait to see the outcome of colors and personalities. Let me know if you are interested.

Ending on a short note,

Amanda

Wed, Sept 6/06

Brooklyn came home from the airport yesterday. She was wonderful. She was happy to see us and very sweet. She does well in the car and slept for about 3 hours in the car on the way home. She doesn't get stressed easily and loves attention. She is adorable and has a wonderfully soft coat. She is a great dog with a great personality. 

That's all that's new,

Amanda

Sun, Sept 3/06

Another new month with lots of excitement. Ginger and Maggie are both in heat. Ginger will hopefully be having another litter coming up in December sometime if all goes well. We are going to wait with Maggie until the next cycle, which we are predicting the litter to come around April. 

We received Littles (a red Miniature Poodle) on Friday. He is such a doll. I have already fallen in love with him. He is so sweet and cuddly and so well behaved. He is fully trained and well-mannered. He is gentle and loves everyone. He is not barky and is kennel trained. He loves to follow you are around and sit at your feet or on your lap. He gets along with anyone and anything. We are looking for a great guardian home for him to live so if you are interested or know of anyone, please feel free to contact us. 

Love to hear from you,

Amanda

We got Kara from the airport yesterday. She is an amazing puppy. We absolutely adore her! She has a wonderful temperament and beautiful coloring/markings. She was a little bit nervous when we first met her but as soon as we got her outside, she was so excited and energetic. She didn't know what to do with herself. She was doing flips and jumping like a jack-rabbit. It was very fun to watch. When we got her home, she right away got along with the dogs and was playing nicely with everyone. We threw a toy for her and she immediately ran to get it and dropped it at our feet. She is such a cute, sweet dog. She is quiet and loves to cuddle, but is content to play with the dogs as well. Her first time sleeping in the kennel was okay; she barked for a bit, then started to chew on a bone and went to sleep. We are quite impressed. Of course we had to show her off to everyone this morning so we took her to school and work and to the pet store. She was excited to see all the kids and loved the attention. She was quiet and still in the car, whether she was on someone's lap or on the back seat by herself. She is a very content dog and we love her tons. She sits still when you bathe her, blow dry her, when you touch her all over, and check her teeth and eyes. She would be an awesome show prospect and great at agility because she is such a people-pleaser. 

Keep checking for updates. We are receiving two more tomorrow. We can't wait!

TTFN,

Amanda

Tues, Aug 22/06

Maggie just came into heat yesterday. We are so excited for her because that means she will be having her puppies sooner than we expected. We are expecting her first litter to come in about April (2007) instead of in the summer. We can't wait.

We are looking for possible guardian homes for several new dogs, some are puppies and some are young adults. We need homes for a few Standard Poodles, a Miniature Poodle, and possibly a Golden Retriever. If you are interested or know of anyone who might be suitable, please contact us and ask about our Guardian Program.

We have three new members of our family; Littles, Brooklyn, and Kara. We hope we find good guardian homes for them and can't wait to cherish memories with these three sweeties. 

That's all for now,

Amanda

Mon, Aug 21/06

All of the Standard Poodle puppies are sold now. Levi is still looking for a guardian home. He is doing well and is very well socialized. He comes right away when you call and is absolutely wonderful for grooming. He walks well on a leash now. He just loves attention and follows people around everywhere. He loves to wrestle with Maggie, although is Maggie is a few times his size. He is doing well with house training. Only one accident so far. 

We may be moving soon to Stony Plain. Don't worry, we are still going to be breeding and grooming. We are going to be about 20 minutes out of the city so it's not too far. It will be nicer for the dogs to have space to run. We will also be continuing our Guardian Program as it seems to be working out well. We will keep you updated on the moving process. 

Sadly, Mocha is no longer with us. She went back to her original home as she was homesick. She is doing absolutely great now and she won't leave her owner's side. We are glad to see that she is happier and back where she belongs. We will miss her.

Sorry, we have no puppies available but check out our Planned Litters page for upcoming litters. We are always looking for Guardian Homes so if you are interested in a specific breed, let us know and we will update you on anything that we may have available. 

Ta-ta for now,

Amanda

Sat, Aug 7/06

We have been away on holidays for the last few weeks so there has not been much updated on the website lately. The dogs are still growing like weeds. Maggie and Teddie had a play-date a few weeks ago. They loved it. Teddie has grown so much and he definitely suites his name... he's such a teddy bear. 

All of Ginger's puppies have gone to their homes and they are adored by their families. Some of them have already come back for their first grooming and to visit their mom. 

Mocha's puppies are getting bigger too. I haven't seen them in two weeks so we'll have to see how big they have gotten. I will post some recent pictures of them as soon as possible. Levi has grown lots as well. He is still looking for a guardian home. He is doing great with housetraining and he comes when you call. We took Maggie and Levi out in the canoe yesterday and they just loved it. They loved watching the birds and fish go by. Maggie thought it was funny to lean on one side of the canoe to drink some water when we were least expecting it. Luckily, she never managed to tip the boat. Levi liked the taste of the boat...he spent most of the time licking the canoe if he wasn't sleeping. I will update pictures of them as soon as they are downloaded.

Abby (now her permanent name) is adored by her guardian family. She is being well socialized and is even allowed to 'help' in the garden. To say the least, the carrots are a bit squished! Abby is now on her holiday with her family out at the lake. She will have tons of fun swimming.

It's nice to be back,

Amanda

Mon, July 10/06

Once again, I have made some changes to the website. I would love some feed back on the website design from anyone. We want the website to be convenient for everybody and we want to be able to showcase our dogs as best as we can. Feel free to send suggestions or comments to us about our website and how we can improve it. 

We have two new members to our family. Levi is our Apricot Standard Poodle male. I am looking forward to showing him next year. We are looking for a guardian home for this guy. If you know of anyone, or are interested, please contact us to set up an interview. Abby, (temporarily named) is our new Golden Retriever female. She is the newest addition and has been placed in a loving guardian home. She is adorable and a very light cream color. We can't wait to see how these two puppies grow up and what their future litters turn out.

Sorry for the inconvenience of web changes,

Amanda

Mon, July 3/06

I am sorry to all of you who have visited our site previously and are a little confused now because of the new changes. I have changed around the site a little bit and it is still somewhat under construction. This way is a lot easier to organize and find things as we increase and upgrade our breeding stock. I hope you all like the new changes. It may take a little getting used to. If you have any suggestions of how to change the site or find any problems with it, feel free to contact us and send us your concerns. 

Thanks,

Amanda
