Puppies raised in the house, not in a kennel.
Our litters grow up in the middle of family life — kitchen noise, kids, the vacuum cleaner. At eight weeks, your puppy comes home already used to the world.
A small kennel, on purpose.
We never have more than three litters a year. That isn't a limitation — it's the only way to know every puppy individually, to handle each one daily, and to know, when placement time comes, which family will suit them.
Our mothers live with us year-round. They aren't "production females" — they're our dogs, they have two or three litters in their lifetime, and then they retire right here.

Breeders, Gatineau (Aylmer sector)
Three commitments, for every puppy.
They apply to every litter we raise — no exceptions, no extra charge.
Health tested before breeding
Our breeding dogs complete the screenings recommended for their breed — hips, elbows, eyes and heart — before any litter. You receive the actual results, not a summary.
Socialized in a family home
Daily handling from day three, gradual exposure to sounds, surfaces, children and other dogs. A calm puppy doesn't happen by accident.
Support for life
We stay reachable long after your puppy leaves — first nights, house-training, adolescence, feeding. And if you ever can't keep your dog, they come back here. Always.
Bernese mountain dog, Newfoundland and golden retriever.
Three gentle large breeds, chosen for their steady temperament and their patience with children. We don't follow trends — we raise the lines we have known for twelve years.
Our Bernese–Newfoundland crosses produce slightly hardier dogs, often less prone to joint problems than the pure lines. That's a deliberate choice, not an accident.
From your first question to the ride home.
You write to us
Tell us about your household: children, other pets, living space, experience with large dogs. We reply within one or two days, honestly — sometimes to tell you one of our breeds wouldn't suit you.
We meet
Kennel visits by appointment, even before a litter is born. You meet the parents and see where the puppies grow up. A breeder who won't let you visit is telling you something.
Reservation and matching
A $500 deposit confirms your place on the litter. Puppy–family matching happens around week six, based on the temperaments we observe — not on a first-come basis, and not on the colour you picked from a photo.
Going home at eight weeks
Your puppy leaves vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and examined by our veterinarian, with a health record, a few days' worth of food and a blanket that smells like the litter.
A litter is expected this summer.
Our puppies are almost always spoken for before they're born. If you're thinking about a puppy this year, now is the right time to write — even if you aren't certain yet.
