🐾 Playful family kennel · Sherbrooke & Estrie

Your kids' first dog, chosen with the heart.

Our Labrador and Goldendoodle litters grow up right in the middle of family life — kids, scattered toys, the garage door slamming. By eight weeks, your puppy arrives at your door already used to real family chaos.

Our approach

One litter at a time, surrounded by laughing kids.

We never breed more than two litters a year. That's how we get to know every puppy by name, handle each one daily, and know — when matching day comes — exactly which family it belongs with.

Our three kids have grown up around puppies their whole lives: they handle them, tickle them, drop noisy toys and run everywhere. The result: our puppies don't flinch at a stroller or a shriek of joy — they run toward the commotion, tail spinning like a helicopter.

What never changes

Three promises, for every puppy.

They apply to every litter, no exceptions and no extra fee.

Health checked first

Our breeding dogs complete the recommended screenings — hips, elbows, eyes and heart — before every mating. Results are handed to you directly, not just summarized.

Raised around kids

Daily handling from day three, exposure to household noise, strollers and other pets. A calm, confident puppy is built, not left to chance.

We stay, always

A chat group with every adopting family, questions welcome any time, and if you can no longer keep your dog, they come back to us. No judgment, ever.

Our breeds

Labrador retriever and Goldendoodle. Full stop.

Two breeds of joyful, sturdy family dogs, chosen for their steady temperament and endless patience with kids. We don't chase trends — we've known these two lines for eight years.

The Labrador for its infectious energy and legendary sweetness; the Goldendoodle for its low-shedding coat and endearing smarts. Two different ways to love a family.

How it works

From your first email to the ride home.

You write to us

Tell us about your family: kids' ages, fenced yard or not, experience with dogs. We reply within one to two days, honestly — even if it means telling you a breed isn't the right fit.

We meet as a family

A kennel visit by appointment, kids welcome (ours will probably already be playing with the puppies). You meet the parents and see where the litters grow up.

Reservation and matching

A $500 deposit confirms your spot on the litter. Puppy-to-family matching happens around week six, based on observed temperament — not the coat colour picked from a photo.

Going home at eight weeks

Your puppy leaves vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, examined by our vet, with a health record, a starter bag of food and a blanket that smells like the litter.

A litter is expected this fall.

Our puppies almost always find their family before they're even born. If a puppy is part of your plans this year, now's the time to write — even just to chat.
