When you still think you’re little and try to be your mom’s lap dog ♥️ He really is the sweetest boy!
Breeder of health tested Labrador Retrievers in the Kawartha Lakes, ON area. CKC registered.
(12)
When you still think you’re little and try to be your mom’s lap dog ♥️ He really is the sweetest boy!
We are prepping for this breeding as she is now fully in heat!!! We do still have a few spaces on this list and they will have a late December go home ♥️
Contact us or fill out an application to get on this list. It will be a full fox red/English style litter
Did you know?
We have a 26 month hip/elbow guarantee and a life time genetic guarantee! That we stand behind every puppy we produce and will support our families in any way possible. We are one of the few that offer this and are proud to do so.
The health of our dogs and the puppies we produce is simply put IMPORTANT to us. We are here to do better and produce healthy and happy puppies. We do this by always trying to improve and testing all of our dogs both genetically and through X-rays. Often we hear how dogs are “clear through parentage” or how “it doesn’t really matter” and quite frankly that isn’t true. Your dog’s parents hips cannot be cleared because their parents didn’t have any problems or their parents passed and we won’t chance that.
Now genetics only take you so far and environment has a factor as well but we always discuss and try our best to ensure everyone has the best possible experience ♥️
Bianca is getting spayed today 😭 This still breaks my heart a little but we have to do what is best for her and this is it. However, a little extra positive energy and pictures of her babies are welcome ♥️
This girl is about to start her heat!! They will be October puppies with December go home dates!!! We still have room on this list and are expecting an all fox red English Lab litter!!
Both parents have full clear genetic panels, full echocardiogram clear, hips and elbows. This is not a litter to be missed ♥️ Pictures are of her and her stud
Some summer Labrador weekend fun! What are you up to on this beautiful weekend?
These two spent some time together last week!! Not for their date (but soon) but just to hang out.
We still have room on this litter ♥️ Feel free to reach out or fill out our application if you’re interested in being considered!
Everyone LOVES laying in moms room with the A/C! I couldn’t love these guys more ♥️ Let’s see those babies doing stuff they love!
Happy 3rd Birthday to this boy! Well yesterday 🙈 He will be spoiled this weekend and get all of the treats!
How’s everyone’s summer going? We have been super busy here with EVERYTHING! For some reason our messenger wasn’t working (personal or here) properly and we apologize for the delay in responses!! We are also still reaching out to set up phone interviews ♥️ If you haven’t heard from us don’t panic.
If you’re still interested in a fall English Fox Red or our Winter English light cream/white litter we have about 3 spaces per litter now! You don’t want to miss out on these beauties
If you submitted an application I will be making calls this week ♥️ So many of you looking forward to some beautiful English fox red pups!
I will be sending everyone their Christmas snack CKC registration papers today/tomorrow!! Hopefully I’ll be able to do a 6 month update post too!!
It has already been a long week 🤣 Let’s see the most recent picture of your pup!! I know those things aren’t related BUT dog pictures are always a pick me up 😊
Who else wishes they could be Marshmallow today?! I took this when changing the bed blankets over. This girl will literally make herself comfortable on any surface but always goes for the couch, beds and blankets 🤣
**Application at bottom of the post**
Our next 3 litters will most likely all be various shades of yellow. We do have one girl that we have to finish up testing on who will be a black and yellow litter but she is not feature here as we want to be sure and find the perfect stud to compliment her.
Fall 2024- All English Fox Red litter
Winter 2024- All English Light cream/White litter (this list is almost half full)
Winter 2024/Spring 2025- Dark Fox Red (we have selected a dark red male for this pairing)
If you are interested in any of these litters feel free to fill out our form or contact us directly.

Looking for a Fox Red Labrador look no further!! We will be breeding this spectacular pair for a fall litter ♥️ This will be a full English and red litter. I am so excited for this breeding that we will also be holding a pup back for our program!
Both have passed with Good hips, normal elbows, normal Echocardiogram and eyes. They’re also genetically clear! Reach out to us for how to get on this list!
Happy Fathers Day to all of our fur Dads that are here!! Let’s see those Dad/pup pictures!!!
We won’t be having our summer litter due to various reasons ♥️ We will however be sharing our Fall/Winter plans!! What are you hoping to see?!
Bianca has so much personality. I always talk about Jasper being sassy but this girl is always loving and silly. She was sleeping with Chloe when I caught her like this. Let’s see those happy dogs!
We are still on the look out for a guardian/retirement home for Jasper. As much as we love this boy we also know he would thrive in different conditions but are also prepared to keep him until that perfect opportunity comes along.
Jasper will be 3 next month and has a higher drive but an excellent off switch. He’s good with everyone but sucks at the fence 🫤 He loves kids, adults and everything between. He’s good with our other male and all females. Sometimes he comes on strong but he ultimately is the biggest softy you’ll ever meet. He has started field training and loves it. He would absolutely excel in a hunting/sporting home and definitely needs a fenced in yard!
Reach out if you’d like any more information!
Good morning! It’s a slow go kind of morning, let’s see those sleeping pups of yours!!
We have some big announcements and changes coming!!! Who’s excited?!
This is our red girl who has passed all of her required testing hips, elbows, eyes, heart (full echo because anything less isn’t good enough) and has a clear genetic panel!!! I still have to submit some paperwork to OFA but we will be having a fall litter with this girl and will be opening the list. This is the start of all of our dilute free breedings ♥️
It has been a beautiful and crazy week!! We hope everyone enjoyed some sun
Happy 2nd Birthday to Nova and Jaspers Galaxy litter 🎉 How’s everyone doing?!
Marshmallow had a naughty moment that led to a bath this morning. I try to bathe everyone only when absolutely necessary ♥️
If you are on our Marshmallow list I will be contacting you this week to chat.
Let’s see those water lovers!!
Marshmallow says life is hard being this cute
💗 Happy Mothers Day from Country Heart Labradors 💗
Bianca was lucky & got to see her daughter Ryla yesterday!! This litter will always be special to us
Was the water cold? Yes. Did that stop these girls? Nope. Chloe LOVES playing in the water with her dogs and though I had gone in a few times for pictures I was not hanging out. They joy of this bond is beyond words ♥️
When it’s like you’re a carbon copy of your Mom!!! I cannot believe how much Ducky from the Baby Animals litter looks like her Mom ♥️ This litter is filled with pups that have their mother’s smile but Ducky is 100% her mother’s daughter… with daddy’s spice!

Sometimes it’s easy to forget what a big goofball this boy is ♥️ He’s a talker and without knowing he might sound not nice but he has the sweetest heart with his big voice! Only 4 more sleeps until Peanut goes to his new home in New Brunswick!! He will be joining a breeding program that is overjoyed to have the chance to add him! We’re so excited for Orange Stone Labradors and this boy for what the future will bring!!!
Something that we always recommend when sending pups home is a slow feed bowl but we could make other recommendations too! This is a snuffle mat and Peanut is getting his meals in this. Why? Because like most Labs (not all but most) he inhales his food without a thought. This helps slow him down (looks fast now but I will post another video in the comments) and also makes him think which I will never stop preaching is something all Labradors need. I actually use this with my big dogs from time to time and use it for just putting little amounts of kibble in with a few scattered high reward treats for puppies to just tire them out. These take more to wash and keep clean but they are a great alternative or even just a game for pups and their inhale eating!
Good puppies just waiting for their dinner ♥️ I’d be lying if I said 5 minutes prior to this wasn’t insanity with them losing their little marbles knowing it was dinner time. Waiting them out does wonders and though we still eat with excitement, we are learning to wait big by bit.
Today we are 6 weeks!!! The lady upgraded our space again. However, most of us are now just excited to lay at the door 🤣 Still some puppies looking for their forever homes ♥️ Contact us if you think you might be a good fit!
So thankful that our big dogs are so spectacular with the puppies ♥️ That girl would let them crawl all over her all day!
We now have morning feeds! This is 2 cups of puppy food soaked and some milk replacer added in. It works out to just over 4 cups and they are finishing it all! This means that I will be adding more into the next feed ♥️
We started food yesterday! They were all SUPER interested and loved it all ♥️ In fact they finished it and were given more today!
They’re growing up so quickly 😭 They’re 3 weeks and everyone is doing great! I love when they start playing with each other ♥️
Despite the yellow blanket making them look a little purple these guys are adorable! We will be doing their individual pictures and litter names today as well as starting ENS and ESI today! It’ll be a big day but so much to look forward to. We do have limited room on this litter most likely for females. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions ♥️
I THINK we are done. All on Christmas Eve. Good job momma Phoenix! 9 babies all in under 5 hours ♥️ We finished with: 2 charcoal girls, 2 dark red girls, 3 champagne/red champagne girls, 1 dark red male and 1 champagne/red champagne male!! You’re a rock star and I’ll be here to keep watch of everyone while you get your rest!
Happy birthday Phoenix!! We hope you enjoy this little reel of all the wonderful pictures her family has sent of her ♥️ She has her puppy count X-ray tomorrow and then she comes back with us to start her stay and count down to puppies!!!
Phoenix has her puppy count X-ray tomorrow but today we are wishing her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🥳 Enjoy this little reel of the wonderful pictures her family has sent me. We’re finishing cleaning and setting up her whelping box for when she starts her stay tomorrow after her appointment ♥️There’s still a couple spots open on her list until we confirm a count tomorrow!!
