I am self taught from visiting dog shows and watching the show dogs get groomed. I have been grooming dogs for over 40 years.

Some breeds have particular grooming needs. We have experience grooming an assortment of breeds from Retrievers, to Porties, to Poodles and Doodles to mixed breeds and all in between.

We currently do not groom cats.

Of course, our facilities are open to our clients and you are welcome to visit prior to booking. Please just make an appointment so I can be sure to be there to show you around. You can also stay with your pet during the grooming service if you would like. Your pet is also welcome to stay for the day on us if you need to run errands, etc.

We have the proper tools and knowledge for removing mats, trimming nails, and cleaning ears. We wash, cut, blow dry and brush your pet as needed. We will also shave your pet if needed or requested. We will make you aware if we detect any signs of ear infections, tooth decay, and skin infections.

Of course you can stay and we encourage it, if it will help your pet stay relaxed. However, your own nerves can make some pets more anxious, but it’s not unreasonable to want to observe, at least the first time. It’s also a good opportunity to see your dog’s behaviour for future visits. We are happy to accommodate your wishes.

Yes we do and you can view and download it here.

Pets not being groomed will be kept in a crate or secure designated play area (with owner’s consent). Your pet will have a crate to themselves, with clean padding, plenty of air, and in view of salon personnel.

Jane has been breeding quality pure bred Porties and Goldens for over 20 years.

We breed Portuguese Water Dogs and Golden Retrievers.

In Canada, all purebred dogs come with a Purebred Dog Certificate of Registration issued by The Canadian Kennel Club – without this certificate, they can’t legally be sold as purebred.

The certificate indicates, among other things, the dog’s registered name, breed and date of birth, as well as the names of the dog’s sire and dam.

We are responsible for registering the puppy to us and then once the puppy is spayed or neutered, transfer of ownership will be completed and provided to the new owner.

We can provide all of this if requested. We would never think of breeding a dog that hasn’t passed the recommended health clearances.

Yes of course, just ask and we will give you a tour when you arrive for your scheduled appointment. That being said, we cannot permit access to the pups and their mother until they start weaning. This is to ensure mother and puppy bonding and private time.

The best way to raise puppies is in a home environment where they receive lots of handling and human contact. No amount of love and attention from you can ever make up for a lack of early socialization.

We take vaccines very seriously. Puppies receive their initial immunity directly from their mother. If her vaccines are not up to date, the puppies’ ability to resist disease will be compromised.

Puppies should go to their new homes between eight and ten weeks of age. This is the optimum time for a puppy to transition from their litter to their new family – any earlier and they may have issues with other dogs in the future; any longer with their littermates and they may not bond as well with people.

Your puppy should be limited to public exposure to public through fares like large off leash parks for example.

Puppies are examined, dewormed and vaccinated prior to leaving us. We ask that you ensure to schedule all required follow ups with your own veterinarian, as puppies that don’t receive boosters at appropriate intervals are at risk of contracting life-threatening illnesses.

Breeding is not an exact science, and problems can surface in the best of lines. We offer a health guarantee on our puppies— see contract.

Yes, we provide a health certificate for each and every puppy as this is the law here in Nova Scotia.

We are open to a holistic approach provided a titer test is done on a yearly wellness check.
