Mikki
My name is Mikki. I am a 7 year Mi-Ki. I love going to work with my Mom.
Odin
Odin is a 7 month old Welsh Pembroke Corgi. Odin loves the snow as he will dig in and bury himself. Loves to chase fetch and will lead you with his leash when needs to go in or out of the house. Loves to be my back seat driver.
Hank
Hank is a 3 year old frenchie with a big heart, loves to cuddle. He bigger than thinks he is, always willing to give kisses and doesn’t mind getting dressed up for an occasion!
Chinook
Chinook is an energetic 10 year old White german shepherd x! She’s ready for nicer weather so she can spend countless hours sun bathing and trying to catch birds! She one happy dog!
Bianca
She is a Maltese/shitzu mix. She is small, 5 lbs of cuteness. Even though she is 9 years old she still looks like a puppy! She is pee pad trained and will pee on command. She sometimes fakes it! She is so easy to travel with. She has a purse style travel bag and when you set it on the floor, she jumps in and it is pretty hard to get her out before you get to the destination!
Willow
Willow is a Great Pyrenees crossed with lab and is 3 years old. I got her when covid hit and she became my best friend. She came to high school with me a few days and when she stayed home, I was always excited to get home and see her. She also came to Saskatoon with me for 2 years for college. I've had her since she was 8 weeks and now she is and will forever be my best friend.
Gabriella
Purebred chihuahua. She is a princess who love attention.
Duke

Phoebe
"Bug?! Where?!" No bug can get past Phoebe. She will continue looking for a fly she watched you kill an hour ago.
Pebbles
Pebbles is a super vocal cat who loves to cuddle and play, he loves his treats and he is the best photo model ever. He always finds something to meow about even though sometimes I don’t know what it is.
Diane
Diane is a firemouth cichlid, a species native to Central America. We have had her for 6.5 years. I wouldn’t call her a perfect pet, as her cichlid temperament is at an extreme high. She was a total bully to every other fish she has been with, so now she lives by herself. What she lacks in social skills, she certainly makes up for with her beautiful colours.
Peach
So this is the Best Pet ever because Peach is not ours.She belongs to a beautiful little girl down our alley.But she has took a liking to us and visits all summer,I'm sure she has many friends. She is very vocal when wanting your attention.So if they worry when she is gone for long periods.Tbey should know she is just 3 houses down hunting my birds.And well looked after.We all love her at the end of the Alley♥️Hope the little girl wins the pest contest♥️
Gabe Newell
Gabe is a goofy boy and loves to play hide and seek

Bailee
10 week old Black and Tan Pomeranian 2.2lbs
Jax
Jax is a 2 year old pup, we got him when our kangal got pregnant and he was one of the pups. He is very energetic and is a big house dog, lol
Ruby
This is Ruby, our Staffordshire Bull Terrier who is a very big 90some pound baby. She’s got a big personality and an even bigger attitude, if you don’t rush over to let her give you kisses when you get home she’ll make sure the neighbours know all about it. Some of her favourite pass times include going for walks, playing with her big 5ft rope and grazing the grass in the backyard like a cow. But that doesn’t mean she wont pass up the opportunity to bust a nap and literally snore a few hours away.
Tank
Tank is a mini dachshund, he is turning 1 at the end of the month of May. He loves being outside and around people. When he sees other dogs he tries to act big and tough but he’s the smallest and sweetest little boy around.
Ellie
She just came to us unexpectedly. We were on another breeders waitlist that was a year long out of Alberta but somebody made a post about needing to find a home to rehome their 12 week old puppy that was a Bernese mountain dog that we always wanted and we jumped right in and got her within 5 hours of messaging about our interest. She loves outside and licks the dew off the grass every morning. She’s gonna be a big girl!
Moo-cifer
Moo-cifer is a 3.5 yr old Chihuahua. A dive, who has to be the center of attention over his 2 sister cats. He enjoys car rides, going out for snacks, such as hamburgers and ice cream. When outdoors, avoids getting dirt on himself, doesn't like the breeze and will run from flying insects. Moo-cifer is my best furbaby.
Paxton(black), Bitty(brown)
Oh these two. The sweetest most loving creatures. Sadly, we lost Paxton in early January but at almost 15 he had the best life. Miss Bitty is still full of love and kisses and has adjusted to life as an only 'child'

Harper can’t wait for swimming season!
Earl
Earl! Everyone loves him, he is the goofiest Grass Puppy around! He spends his days grazing on grass, crawling under fences to escape to greener pastures. He loves attention and scratches from his human momma.
Pig
Pig is a very special boy who fits his name well. He loves to eat and dig in the dirt. He is a big baby who likes to cuddle,lick your nose and ride around on my shoulders. He is a character for sure and I wouldn't trade him for anything.
Fife
Fife is an 11 year old Deerhead Chihuahua. I got him from a rescue in 2017 and he’s been my tiny little fur baby ever since. He loves basking in the sun and snuggling up on the couch after dinner. 5lbs of pure love.
Moose
When I seen his adoption post I couldn’t stop looking and I just knew he was the one for us! He makes me laugh and smile so much! He enjoys his walks, his games when he knows I will chase him cause he has something he shouldn’t, his Jeep rides and his treats! We spoil him with many many toys, beds, blankets!

Stark is a 110lb teddy bear who loves lounging and eating pup cups from Dairy Queen. You can find Stark buried in a snow bank in the winter or lounging on the tile floor in the A/C in the summer. He’s doesn’t enjoy long walks on the beach or sunsets (actually doesn’t enjoy long walks anywhere or the sun in general) but he loves cool evenings and the all things snow and ice which makes him the perfect Saskatchewan dog!

Callie is the best companion ever. She keeps me company and snuggles when I need her to. She loves to go for walks and play with her ball. Life would be so boring without her.

Ellie is a 2 year old Rottweiler. She loves going to happy smiles daycare to play with her friends and is a great big sister to her Boston terrier brother hobbs. She is down for waddling through the river, playing ball, going for walks, and lazy Sunday mornings. She loves everyone and every dog. She will be in her favorite place all summer… the pool!
