Bichon Shih Tzus
Our Kennel
Is it is a house? A Spa? A dog resort?
We're not sure, but the dogs really love it!
Located on 15 fully fenced acres, our dogs are able to enjoy off leash walks on our manicured summer time paths and shovelled winter time paths!
Our facility includes about 3000 sq ft of dog used and enjoyed indoor space.
Featuring multiple skylights, lots of windows and infloor heating, our pooches are pretty comfortable!

Momma dogs give birth at our house so we can assist them with their every need. They spend the first couple weeks with their newborns in our living room, where we can monitor the puppies for growth, help them nurse and give moms frequent potty breaks.
As puppies age, they transition onto large paper filled "tables" at the kennel. These allow us to clean thoroughly through the day and encourage the puppy's natural instinct to move further and further from their bed and food to do their potty business. Mom initiates the weaning and spends increasing time with her own friends as the puppies gain independence. Our puppies are able gain great social skills as they play and meet puppies from other litters.
The puppies gain indépendance, practicing having play time in new locations, with new friends and new toys! All part of puppy play school! Families come and visit their puppies when the puppies are 7 weeks of age to meet their new friend and the parent dogs. Puppies are able to leave us for their new homes when they are at least 8 weeks of age and showing the independence needed to thrive in their new homes.
Both puppies and our adult dogs are bathed and trimmed in our grooming room. We ask the dogs to stand patiently in the sink as we give them their warm baths and start this training process with the puppies before they head home.
We are proud to partner with Didsbury Veterinary Services who provides on site assessments and have thoroughly looked over and assessed our kennel, giving it a big thumbs up! Didsbury Vet offer fantastic care to our dogs and covers our puppy wellness exams, immunizations, adult health checks, emergency services, neuter and spays, dental cleanings and so much more. We have been in partnership with them since 2017 and couldn't be more pleased with the assistance they provide.

Our dogs enjoy outdoor access, freely using their doggie doors from around 8am to 9pm. We don't allow night time outdoor access as our dogs are small enough to be snatched by owls and coyotes.
We have multiple doggie doors, nine huge grass yards for them to run and play in and a spacious covered dog run incase the weather is such that they'd prefer to "do their business" under a roof instead of using the yard. With lots of toys, bones, space for romping and canine friends, there's no room for boredom!
We are blessed to have amazing staff members who join our family in providing the dogs with loving and thorough care every day. Giving our dogs fun filled, loving and stimulating lives in a clean and enjoyable space is our top priority!
Thank you for choosing us for your future fur-family member! We hope you enjoy a little more "behind the scenes" information!
