Labrador Retrievers – Quality Puppies From Our Family to Yours

Author Archive

We are Expecting Puppies!

Kristy, our chocolate female is expecting puppies in September. The sire is Charlie, who is black so the puppies will be black and/or chocolate. Charlie has his JH and WC titles. He can be viewed on the Jerryru Labradors web site. We will keep you posted.


Crystal is Retiring!

Crystal is retiring after having produced many beautiful puppies for us. She is looking for a good home where she can live out her retirement years as a companion and friend. She is eight years old, in excellent health, has been spayed and her shots are up to date. If you are looking for a mature dog as an addition to your home, perhaps she would be the one for you. We’ll keep you posted.


Finding Homes – all gone!

These 3 young lads are growing like weeds and looking for their new homes. One is quite mellow – likes to be with you and stay with you outside with little pulling on the leash. Then we have our very handsome, Mr independent – who would really like to explore on his own and do things his way. And there’s the smallest of the litter who is quite affectionate yet sticks up for himself with the others. All are lovely pups, like their bellies scratched and are quite attentive. There is interest so we’ll see if we still have any by Christmas for the grandkids to play with. Sorry, our grandkids are out of luck but there are 3 more families enjoying a pup this Christmas.


Out and About!

Four girls and 5 boys – the boys are the top row and the 2 with blue and the girls are the bottom row and the 2 orange. They are on solid food and have been vet checked and have their 1st shots – all ready for their new homes. There are just 3 boys available. Pink, purple, lime and orange females have found their new homes as have red and green males. We’ll keep you posted.


How Quickly they grow !

Kristy’s puppies have their eyes open, are walking, and exploring – some more adventurist than others. Just starting to eat solid food. They are providing lots of entertainment as we watch them each develop their own personalities.


Puppies have Arrived!

Here they are at 3 days old. Kristy has a beautiful litter of black puppies – 4 lovely females on the left and 5 males on the right. They are all doing well and will be up and around in no time. We’ll keep you posted.


We are Expecting Puppies!

Kristy is expecting puppies mid September! Scottie, the sire of the litter, is new to us, a beautiful black male that we will be sharing more information about in the near future. Kristy’s puppies will be black with possibly a chocolate or 2. Below are photos of Kristy’s last litter. We will keep you posted!


Roger has found his Home

If you have been following the photos, this is Green. He is Cyrstal’s last puppy as she will be retiring. He is playful, energetic, attentive and is having a great time with his sister.

As we look ahead to the future, it will likely be some time before we have more puppies. It has been a wonderful 30 years but as our circumstances change, we’ll have to see if continuing to raise puppies will be part of that future. We’ll keep you posted.


Growing up in No Time!

Five weeks old and out exploring a new world. There are still males available – top 2 on the right and bottom right. We’ll keep you posted.

Center bottom are the boys. The darker 2 on the left have been chosen.

See How they Grow!

Crystal’s puppies are doing well. They have their eyes and ears open and are starting to explore their surroundings. They are a fascinating group to watch as their personalities develop. There are male puppies still available. We’ll keep you posted.

The female is on the left and the 4 boys are to the right.


Crystal’s new litter!

Crystal has 5 beautiful puppies. Just 5 days old and already almost double in size. We do seem to have difficulty getting the females we want and this litter is no exception. There is one female and I’m considering keeping her to replace her mom as a breeding female. The other 4 are all males. They will be ready for their new homes October 17. We’ll keep you posted.

Just 1 Left!

Just one left to find a home from Kristy’s litter. Yellow is an lovely, energetic chocolate female. Navy, the black male, has found his home. She loves to explore but is very attentive and affectionate. We’ll keep you posted.


Now at Six Weeks

Two weeks older but in the same positions as the photo at 4 weeks except it is blue with yellow in the center instead of pink. The females are in the top row and center except for blue who is a male also with the black males in the bottom row. A black male and some chocolate females are still available to be reserved. It will soon be time for first shots and their vet check. We’ll keep you posted.


Kristy’s Puppies at 4 Weeks

Here they are – out and about. The 3 males are across the bottom and the rest are females except for Tan who is also shown in the center photo with Yellow. Yellow (female) is also top right. As their personalities develop, we’ll be selecting the reserved puppies for their new homes. We hope to have more photos in a couple of weeks. We’ll keep you posted.


We have Puppies!

Kristy’s beautiful litter of puppies arrived April 10. Several have been reserved but there are some black males and chocolate females still available. We hope to have further updates and pictures available shortly. Stay tuned.

Ready for their new homes

Vet checked and first shots today and these young puppies are all set to join their new families. Kristy’s puppies have all found wonderful new homes.

Top row has the black males and they are all reserved, middle row has 2 chocolate males and one black female (reserved) and the bottom row has our 3 chocolate females which also have their new families. The difference in colour especially for the chocolates was the change in light as it went from full sunshine to quite overcast while taking the photos.

Growing up!

Kristy’s pups have new quarters and now can be out and about exploring a whole new world. They are starting to eat solid food and it is fun to watch their developing personalities. There are some black males and chocolate males and females available. We’ll keep you posted.

They Grow in a hurry!

Six weeks old and Crystal’s puppies are out exploring their world. You can hardly keep ahead of them now at a brisk walk. All of the puppies have found their forever homes. Less than a week left before they will be ready to go to their new homes. They are weaned and on solid food and will be vet checked and get their 1st shots late this week. We’ll keep you posted.

Top row has Pink, Baby Blue and Purple, Middle row has Royal, Gold/Red and Yellow and the bottom row has Red, Gold and Green


Out and About

Crystal’s puppies are almost 4 weeks old and were moved to new digs where they could be outside more readily. They are becoming accustomed to dry food and are starting to explore their world and learn about each other. The boys are the top row and Gold. The girls are the bottom row and Purple. Pink and Purple get an extra photo in the middle. Just 2 little ladies needing to find their new families – Purple and Baby Blue. We’ll keep you posted.


We have Puppies!

Crystal has a lovely litter of yellow puppies. Mom and puppies are doing well. The puppies should be ready for their new homes July 11. There are still both males and females available to good homes. We will keep you posted.

The males are pictured in the top photo and the females are in the bottom photo


Kassie is Retiring

Kassie has been a great companion for us as well as giving us many litters of lovely puppies. Born May, 2012, it is time for her to retire. We are looking for a family who will enjoy her and give her a good retirement home. Kassie is a typical lab in that she loves the outdoors and all that entails. She also enjoys her inside time with her family.

We will keep you posted.


Winter – Spring 2021

This is going to be a different winter here at Dora Lee as we’ve found we need to take a break from raising puppies until summer. Some of you have your names on our puppy list and were hoping for a winter or spring addition to your families. Unless we hear from you, we will contact you when there are puppies available – probably summer time. In the meantime, you may wish to check out other kennels.

We appreciate the interest and support shown Dora Lee Labradors over the years and hope to resume our breeding program later in the year. Take care. Stay well. We’ll keep you posted.


2020 Registration Certificates

Finally! For all of you who have been patiently waiting for the Canadian Kennel Club registration certificate for your 2020 Dora Lee puppy, they were mailed last week! We just received the first of them a week ago although they were “issued” many months ago. CKC uses the date the data is processed as the date of issue and then it took months to get them printed and in the mail to us.

We do hope all of your puppies are doing well and you are enjoying the new member of your family. Take care and stay safe.
