We have owned everything from Irish Wolfhounds to Pomeranians so size is not a problem for us.

 

 

Laurent and I decided to open this kennel because our fantastic dog-sitter was not always available and we were not comfortable leaving our dogs with anyone else.  We provide a clean, safe, friendly environment where the dogs spend a great deal of time outside of their runs and are both mentally and physically active so they are happy, healthy and content.  Both Laurent and I have many years of dog experience and are happy to be able to use that in our lifestyle here at the kennel.
 
Anyone interested may drop by with or without an appoinment to see the facilities -  because we have walks that take us away from the kennel, we suggest calling ahead to be sure we are here.  When we are not in the immediate vicinity, the kennel is locked for the security of the guests that are still inside.

 

Laurent has a "Maitre Chien, Mention Speciale" diploma from France and has worked with and trained security dogs.  He has also got a diploma in "Education Canin" (Dog Education) and has been approved by the French government as a qualified trainer.

Suzanne has worked as kennel staff with dog guides for the blind and assisted with training in obedience classes.  Suzanne and Laurent together have owned and trained therapy dogs for special needs children; obedience competition dogs and agility dogs.  We have also participated in tracking, carting and lure coursing. 

Dogs are our focus and interest, not just a business.

 

 

Our kennel was specially designed with an air exchange system, in-floor heating, forced air heat and air conditioning.  In the front of the building we offer a small, indoor only, dog area for those little ones that prefer a quieter environment. 

 

For our larger guests we have runs that consists of an indoor area measuring  5’x 8’ and an outdoor run consisting of cement and  rounded pebbles that measures 5’ x 13’.  The two areas are separated by an insulated door that we control depending on your dogs preferences and the weather. 

 

Like you, we want is what is best for your dog and we would welcome his bed from home, his food dish and his favourite toy or two.  If you prefer, we can also provide the comforts of home so you don’t need to bring them.
