Just One Left
Just one young male puppy left. 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 he waits for his new family.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Crystal’s Puppies at 4 Weeks

And all the puppies has an excited family just waiting to see which one will be theirs. The boys are the top row and the middle photos and the girls are the bottom row and left and right middle. Everyone did really well for being outside on a cool 7 degree day but the sun was shining for a change so we ventured out. At 4 weeks they are still developing, some a little faster than others but another week or two will make a big difference. We will be watching carefully as their personalities are just starting to take shape. They are certainly a happy, tail wagging group when they see you coming. Now the fun begins as they begin to explore this big wide world. We’ll keep you posted.
Crystal’s 2020 Beauties

Introducing Crystal’s 2020 litter by Cody. At 5 days of age they are all doing well and growing like weeds. There is a wide range of colour with most of the lighter puppies being females and the males being a little darker. They should be ready for their new homes November 6. And, all the puppies are reserved by their new families. We’ll have new pictures in the next week or so. We’ll keep you posted.
How they have grown!
Here they are! Kristy’s puppies are now 4 weeks old and ears, eyes and legs are developing nicely as they start to explore their surroundings. Personalities are just starting to emerge as they interact with each other. The 2 girls are in the top two corners, with the black fellows next and the chocolate boys center and bottom. All have families anxiously waiting to take them home and the big question of which one goes where will be determined in the next few weeks.
Kristy’s 2020 Litter has Arrived- Finally!
She kept us waiting but finally Kristy has given us this beautiful litter of puppies. The 2 chocolates on the left are females, with 3 black males in the center and 4 chocolate males on the right. All have been reserved by their new families! These puppies have a lot of growing to do but give them a month or so and you won’t recognize them. We’ll keep you posted.
Kassie’s Beautiful litter – All have Homes!
Kassie’s pups have done well and are almost ready to go to their new homes. The girls have been the most popular but everyone now has a new home to go to. Kristy will have our next litter mid May – those puppies should be black and/or chocolate.

Looking for a family – Families found!
Charlotte and Sadie (yes, they have names now) are still waiting to become part of loving families. They are enjoying the outdoors, including the snow and each other and we are enjoying them with their carefree puppy ways.
And now Charlotte has found a home! She will be joining Paul and his family after the Christmas holidays. That just leaves Sadie to find her new family. And finally, Sadie has a loving home in Scarborough.
