Karma
Born June 12, 2021 in Bonduel, Wisconsin, USA, Karma is the definition of a devoted companion. Whether she’s snuggling on the sofa or out on a long hike, Karma wants nothing more than to be by her humans’ sides—earning her the affectionate title of our “Velcro dog.”
Sensitive and intuitive, Karma is always the first to offer comfort. If someone in the home becomes frustrated or upset, she comes right over, gently checking in and doing her best to make things better. Her joyful spirit shines through in her favourite backyard ritual: rolling onto her back and kicking her feet happily in the air, especially after a bath.
Karma’s expressive personality often earns laughs—particularly when she gives a classic side-eye or curls one lip (or sometimes both!) while questioning whatever task she’s been asked to do. She adores apples and will gladly work for any treat.
Karma earned her Canadian Kennel Club Championship title in 2023 and has since retired from the show ring to continue her journey as a dedicated, affectionate therapy dog.
Kaly
Born October 12, 2023 in White Salmon, Washington, USA, Kaly joined our family in July 2024 and quickly made her presence known. A spirited explorer with a curious mind, she has been known to embark on her own little adventures—much to the panic of her humans.
Despite her playful independence, Kaly is exceptionally intuitive and deeply empathetic. As a therapy dog, she is the first to sense distress and will quietly press herself against you—or attempt to climb right into your lap—to offer comfort.
Kaly is also an outstanding young show dog. She earned her Canadian Kennel Club Grand Championship title before the age of two and is already more than halfway to her Grand Championship Bronze. After stepping into the show ring for the first time in March 2025, she achieved an impressive 12 Sporting Group placements by October 2025, all from just nine weekend show entries.
With her temperament, structure, and spirit, Kaly is expected to be the foundation of our future breeding program, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming her first litter in 2026.
