Lorelie is an F1 mini goldendoodle. She weighs in at 28 lbs and presents herself as a red head... but underneath that hair coat is actually apricot. She has a very sweet nature and is easy to train. We assume that her pups will average 20 lbs when we breed her to a mini poodle.

She has never been trimmed, so once the weather is consistently warmer, I'll trim her and see what's underneath that coat which is longer than 6" in some places.

Becca is a mild-mannered 50 lb golden retriever. She has a lovely, happy disposition with a stunning light golden-coloured flowing coat.

Shelby is a lovely golden retriever with a great playful personality. She is medium energy and loves to fetch and cuddle with her stuffy. She weighs about 55 lbs.

Carter is our beloved little miniature poodle. He has a calm and loving nature and gets along great with everyone. While he is quite relaxed around the house he still loves his daily runs.

At approximately 12.5 inches tall and 13 lbs he is a cute and handsome pooch all wrapped up in one!

Lacy is an apricot F1, 50 lb goldendoodle. She has a soft, wavy coat and is not a shedder. Lacy has a more comical side to her and is adventurous.

Rumba is our new mini brown and white Parti Poodle. He's about 14" tall and only 12 lbs. Most of the brown is on his face, with a couple of spots on his back and a few speckles on his legs. Best of all, Rumba has a nice, gentle temperament.

He loves to snuggle and has the most expressive eyes. Rumba is sporting a very short hair cut right right now so he lives with a coat on and quite likes it.

Maple is a 55 lb Golden Retriever. I call her my joker as she has a goofy nature and can make some very funny faces. She is athletic but not hyper.

Because of her background she is a bit timid with strangers, but is a real sweety when she knows she can trust you.

Meeko is an F1 labradoodle prodigy of our beloved Callie and our French poodle Toby; both retired. All of her 30 lbs is amazing, smart, and comical. She has a wonderful range of chocolate to tan browns in her coat.

We'll cross her back to a mini poodle so her F1B pups' coats will have a lower likelihood of shedding. She should have pups early in 2008.

Rusty is a 14", 14 lb, miniature apricot poodle. He has a quiet, sweet temperament. He loves to go for long walks and bike with the kids. He has energy to run, but is a mellow man in the house.

We love this guy and look forward to raising some great pups from him.

Misty is "one of our own" -- an F1 mini goldendoodle and a prodigy of Becca's and Jag's first litter. She's only 12" tall, about 18-20 lbs and has a cream-coloured, fleecy coat. She has loads of personality like her father, yet we can still see that soulful character of her mom... but to us, she is all "Misty".

With a determination to run easily for a couple of miles, even through deep snow with her short little legs, she still loves to cuddle and just hang out in the house. Misty will make some fine smaller pups who will likely have non-shedding qualities.

Peanut is our 60 lb red gold(en) mine. She has a wonderful personality and has passed her health tests with flying colours. Trained to hunt, she has lots of energy, but loves to be with people and is very affectionate.

Peanut is a good mama and has raised some wonderful pups.

Ruby is a mini red labradoodle and is only 22 lbs. She has a soft personality, but also can be goofy and is certainly smart. She loves her snuggles and the miniature poodles are all goo goo over her... someone else close to their own size!

Nite Nite is our precious 70 lb F1 Labradoodle. She is amazingly smart, fun, and full of personality. She is also turning into a very pretty girl. Nite Nite's first litter arrived November 2005.

Savy is our pick of the litter from our first litter of Labradoodles. With Callie as her mom, she's a 75 lb apricot F1 who is brilliant, very attentive and yet goofy.

Savy is a moderate to minimal shedder so when we breed her back with a Poodle her F1Bs pups will be less likely to shed. Savy had her first litter in March 2006.

Jag is our marvelous white 12" Miniature Poodle. He's very social and easy-going and has become a loving part of our family. Jag loves to hang out with us. It doesn't matter to him where he goes... just as long as there is a lap to snuggle on.

If you have a pup from Jag you'll know they're his if they love snuggles, are faithful to their family, adore their master and will do anything to please. He loved to snuggle his head on my chest and listen to my heart beat (Dean said it could have made any man jealous). He was the perfect house pet. We miss our dear boy who died December 2008 of complications due to a dog fight.

Nia is our 75lb beautiful, athletic, Golden Retriever. She's not hyper but has great agility. Nia would do well pulling the kids on a sled... if ever we got enough snow!

She has raised such beautiful goldendoodles. We'll miss her outstanding litters.

Zoey is our 55 lb happy, reddish, Golden Retriever girl who loves snuggles and attention. She has lots of energy and is very smart. Zoey had her first litter October 2005.

Zoey was hard to retire; she always raised my "blocky" goldendoodles which were very unique to her.

Chloe is a red golden retriever with a gentle approach to life. She loves kids and is very mindful of people. Chloe is a low energy dog but enjoys her exercise for her weight loss program.

She is presently 80 lbs, but ideally she should be around 70 lbs.

Chloe was such a sweetie but just was not getting pregant. She is now happy to be in a family where she's the center of attention.

Sheena is a big asset to Hearty K9s. Her quiet nature is my preference in a dog and her size is perfect for our miniature/medium pups. She is 45 lbs and approximately 18" tall.

She has the typical golden retriever enduring characteristics of friendliness and wanting to be by your side.

Reba is a beautiful 60 lb red golden retriever. She is Sheena's full sister... can you tell? Reba is a gentle creature with lots of love to give. She gets along well with the other dogs and has a submissive nature.

Ripley is our new Brindle Lab. She has a rare coat that is black with brown undertones -- hence her name "Butterscotch Ripple". Ripley has a sweet nature and loves to fetch. She weighs 55lbs and has a soft coat.

Darma is our strawberry-chocolate Lab. We've had her since she was a pup. She's gentle, wonderful with children and is easy to train. Although Darma is timid around new people she warms up quickly. She's 80 lbs of beauty!

Reddy is a gentle boy and full of personality. He stands 12" and weighs about 10 lbs. His coat is a wonderful, curly, deep red.

We were very sad to announce that Reddy was just not cut out to be a stud (low sperm count). He's moving on to be a full-time pet where he can get more attention than we can currently give him. This is a hard business on the heart!

Toby is a cinnamon-coloured 12" Miniature Poodle. We call him our "French" Poodle because he originated from Quebec. He is sweet, goofy and really quite a romantic Frenchman... la woof!!

Our Toby is getting old, so he's on the freedom 55 program. He has made some fabulous pups for us but now he will have to move over for the next generation of stud muffins.

Callie gave us lots of love and wonderful pups. She is greatly missed around here... Callie has now retired and moved to Yorkton, SK to be a farm dog with people she already knew.

Sally is also retired from our program. She has raised some brilliant pups and now she gets to use her energy in being a full time companion!

KD is a very lovable 3 year old, 80 lb red Golden Retriever. She is gentle, easy going and loves to be with us in the house. She has a great smile, and her favourite pastime is getting her tummy rubbed.

Radar is our pretty boy - a red Toy poodle. He's such a quiet dog... except around the girls. He loves his life in the house and follows me everywhere. Radar is an easy guy to have around.

We sadly retired our sweet, gentle, Radar because the vet could not determine if his enlarged heart was a genetic problem or not. His parents lived long healthy lives, and the vet expects Radar to as well, with the help of heart medications.

Radar never did have a heart murmur, this problem was discovered by an x-ray, and confirmed through an EKG and ultrasound. Within days of this news, I had 2 people wanting him. When we're ready to let him go he will be living a spoiled life in Edmonton.

Lilly is a quiet and relaxed soft-coated, dark Yellow 60 lb. Lab. Her puppies have lots of personality and charm. Lilly's coat is soft so most of her Labradoodle pups' coats are curlier and softer.

She is now retired and has the easy life of being a companion to a great neighbouring family and a friend for their other dog. We still get to see her and she seems to be adjusting well.

Murphy is a gentle-natured, 75 lb light Yellow Lab. She was retired and given to a home where she's the only dog. Murphy is getting lots of attention from 2 teenage boys. Her new name is Mercy.

Dude was our 10 lb apricot Miniature Poodle stud muffin. Dude was sadly killed on the farm and we miss him dearly. He was a perfect stud for our program but mostly a wonderful pet ...what a sweetie.

A hired k9 mystery stud.
