All of our winter puppies are settled into wonderful new homes. Now we are just waiting for Kassie to have her black litter sometime in the next few days. Our grandchildren were quite disappointed she has waited until after their weekend on the farm. After basking in all their attention, she may now get down to the project at hand. We’ll keep you posted.

We are very excited to be adding Kassie to our breeding females. She is a Katie daughter, sired by Brew. Since her grandmother Keisha is retiring from breeding Kassie will be taking her place. She has passed all her clearances and is expecting her 1st litter of puppies in early April. These puppies are sired by Hunter and will be black. Kassie has a very loving and affectionate nature and we are looking forward to this litter with great anticipation.

Playful, affectionate and attentive, these young fellows will be a wonderful companions and family pets. All have found wonderful homes.

Katie’s 9 puppies are out and about, developing personalities and exploring their world. Nine weeks old this week, they are weaned and becoming quite independent.

The 5 handsome boys are grouped together and then the 4 lovely girls. All have found great homes.

Sunshine’s puppies are doing well and are becoming quite active. They are starting to eat regular feed and are really interesting to watch as they explore their surroundings and learn to play with each other. Just 1 boy left to be chosen. Watch for new pictures in a few weeks.

Sunshine’s litter of 5 beautiful puppies arrived January 20. The 4 boys and 1 girl are all quite active and doing great. Some have been spoken for but there is 1 female and 1 male available. We expect this to be our only yellow litter this year. Stay posted – we’ll have more pictures in a few weeks.<a

Pictures of Sunshine’s puppies by Hurry born last year are the yellow puppies shown below.

Katie has a beautiful litter of 9 puppies born January 16. All are growing like weeds and are very active for this stage of their lives. No posing in a nice line for these babies. We have 5 boys and 4 girls. They will be ready for their new homes early March. We’ll keep you posted with more pictures in a few weeks when they are looking more puppy-like.

It has been a great summer at Dora Lee Labradors. We’ve had lots of visitors which means more games of fetch and walks than usual. We’ve also been introducing everyone to the young pups that will join our breeding females as they pass all our required testing. It is great to watch them develop as each one has their own unique personality – some traits from their moms, others from their fathers and then some that are just them.
Our next litters of puppies are expected to be available late fall and in the new year. We’ll keep you posted.

It has come time for Susie to retire from her breeding days at Dora Lee. She is now available to a good home. She is in excellent health and has had her hips and eyes certified clear as well as DNA testing negative for EIC an CNM. Susie is a pleasure to take for walks on or off leash. But her favourite outside activity has to be playing fetch with our other dogs. She is very attentive and affectionate and loves to please. A large amount of her time is spent outside in the runs but they are in the house at breakfast time for an hour or two and of course she has been in for weeks when she has had her puppies. Susie would be ideal for a family who would prefer an older dog as a companion and family pet. As of today, Susie has found her retirement home with a wonderful family in Whitby, Ontario.
