(8)
HEATHERBEE KENNELS ® is just east of Regina, Saskatchewan. We are breeders of Heritage Scottish breeds including CKC Registered Scottish Terriers, Golden Retrievers, and West Highland White Terriers, as well as Poodles (Standards and Miniatures). Our dogs and puppies are raised in the home with loving care. If you are interested in a puppy, please put your name on our wait list now. All of our pu
ppies are purebred Canadian Kennel Club Registered, micro-chipped, and sold as pets and companions. Each puppy is sold with a written congenital health guarantee as well as with a complimentary month of health insurance with Trupanion.
Reed in his new home in Montana. This is the life I want for him. I am so grateful. And this puts a happy ending to my adventures with Gordon Setters. What a magnificent breed. Gracie and Weaver are living together in Vermont, also on an acreage. Bobbie in Oregon, and now Reed in Montana. All living their best lives.
HeatherBee Kennels is proud to announce that West Highland White Terriers – also known as ‘Westies’ – have been added to our family. Westies are another breed originating in Scotland (alongside the Scottish Terriers and Golden Retrievers we have the pleasure of sharing life with). Thanks in large part to the generosity of Dolores Richardson and Dolden Westies, my dream to add this wonderful breed comes true as I introduce Lilly, Finnley and little baby Pearl. The Westies are from European, Canadian and American Champion blood lines!
Lilly's next litter is planned for this Fall.
Good morning!! ❤️🥰🐾
This was a very special moment with Rosie. A child who was obviously very sensitive on a sensory level approached our booth and very quickly came around the table and sat beside me. Rosie was between us. Her mother asked her if she wanted to pet Rosie, but she very quickly shook her head and said 'picture'! I said sure, I can take a picture of you and Rosie if you can come just a little closer. She hesitated for a moment, and then shifted in her chair. Her mom encouraged her to pet Rosie but she wasn't eager, until I told her Rosie is very soft to touch. Again, she made it clear she wanted a picture but finally reached out for Rosie. The patience that dog showed! What is so clear in these photos is how sensitive Rosie was to this child. My heart just bursts with love for this dog.
After being away for only 3 days I can see the difference in how big these puppies are getting! 5 weeks old tomorrow and they are so beautiful, so active! ❤🐾🥰
My fellow West Highland White Terrier breeder, Dolores Richardson, and I went to the Highland Gathering of the Clans over the weekend. We featured our Scottish Heritage breeds (Scottish Terriers, Westies and Goldedn Retrievers) bringing an adult Westie (Nina), a litter of 6 Westie puppies belonging to Dolores, and Rosie (Golden Retriever). There were also Scottish Terriers, Border Collies doing herding demonstrations, Irish Wolfhounds, Highland Cattle, Clydesdale horses and so much more. It was so well organized and very, very well attended! We didn't have much advance notice to prepare but we made the long, all day drive to get there and get setup! Dolores was giving grooming demonstrations with her adult Westie, explaining the reasons and techniques for stripping terrier coats. The puppies got so much attention - especially because it was a family event! Rosie was her usual wonderful self and shared some very special moments with children and adults alike. Sharing some photos! Didn't get nearly as many photos as I'd hoped to but that's because we were so busy!!
Put this in your calendar!
Dolly's first litter produced these two lovely puppies. Look at the shine on their coats! 3 weeks old and their eyes are open.
Last week the two Scottish Terrier puppies headed for the UK made the journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Landed in Paris and then made it back to England by car. This week, the last puppy from those litters travels to Edmonton, and then on to British Columbia from there! Here she is having snuggles with Raiden. Tomorrow will be a big day for her!
I'm sharing this, but sadly. Due to changes in my health, Reed, a 1 1/2 year old field bred male Gordon Setter is available and looking for an excellent home. Reed is an intact, large, happy and affectionate boy who has been raised around children and other dogs as well. He is enthusiastic about life and has real potential in the field or simply as a happy companion and family dog. Reed was to become part of my intended breeding program but needs a home where his physical needs can be better met. I am no longer in a position to manage the needs of the Gordons and Reed is the remaining Gordon Setter to be rehomed. Please feel free to contact me and share this post. Edited to add that Reed is both Canadian Kennel Club registered and American Kennel Club registered.
Such an inspiration! I love the independence she has, the creative beauty!
This tiny house was completely self-built by a retired woman, and her inspiration came from 19th-century Romani vardo wagons. She built the home on a tight ...

NOTICE: In the past week I have been contacted by two people regarding training and behaviour issues with their dogs. One is a mature adult male poodle who has now had at least 4 and possibly more episodes of demonstrated dog aggression. They are now actively trying to rehome the dog. At NO POINT have they ever contacted me for support in the training and management of this dog. Initially said they were rehoming because they moved and dog walking has become difficult, when in fact it is the dog aggression that is the real problem.
The second family has a teething puppy who at only 'just' over 3 months of age apparently bites the toes of one of the adult family members. I was contacted last week asking if they could return the puppy because she is 'scared' of being bitten. Fortunately, I was able to remind them that this is a teething puppy, that they have an obligation to learn how to train and manage behaviours, and they are willing to put the time into learning how to be responsible for the care of this puppy. They are moving ahead with puppy classes.
REMINDER: I have a clause in my puppy sale agreement requiring anyone who purchases from me to complete puppy classes.
It says OBEDIENCECLASSES: The Buyer agrees to complete at least one series of Puppy Obedience Classes.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure people. I have only ever had one other dog returned to me and the situation was eerily similar to the poodle I described above. By the time I got the dog back he had bitten at least 3 people, including a child. Once again I was not contacted at all about these behaviours and it was only by fluke, and the responsible actions taken by the person who ended up with him, that I was able to track down what happened to him.
My contract also says the following, in addition to my committment to taking a dog back:
If, for any reason, you are unable to keep or care for your puppy, HeatherBee requires you to first contact us prior to re-homing the animal to assure we agree with the arrangements made for the dog.
It is unfair to me, unfair to the potential new family/person who agrees to rehome a dog with established behaviour challenges, and most especially unfair to the dog to do nothing until it becomes a serious issue. This puts everyone at risk.
I offer lifetime breeder support but that only helps if you use it! I'd rather help problem solve early on than deal with these kinds of issues! Please read your agreement before making your choice to buy a dog. Follow through with puppy classes and do more advanced classes if you can! Don't just dump the dog when you've been part of the problem and not part of the solution!

With an uptick in dog attacks, we need you to hear us, Toronto.
If you own a dog in Toronto, you have to keep them on a leash at all times, unless you're in an off-leash area.
We’ve heard all the excuses before, like:
“My dog is a good dog. He’s friendly. He would never bite.”
“My dog doesn’t like being on a leash. My dog listens to me.”
These are common excuses we hear and yet we’re seeing more and more dog attacks.
No more excuses. Just by keeping your dog on a leash (except in an off-leash area), you’ll help keep everyone in the community safe.
Take a moment and read what it means to be a responsible dog owner and share this with other dog owners.

Thank you.

And just a little more connection to the natural world. From morning mist, to grandchildren learning to 'drive' the team on a hot sunny day!
I just had to borrow this. I was actually thinking this morning, about how no matter what the human chaos looks like, spending time in nature, with animals, keeps me feeling connected to something real and good. No matter what.
'Ember' is another pup from the Brooke/Suki litter. I darn near kept this girl with the phantom markings because she's so gorgeous! She now lives in Alberta with another HeatherBee Poodle and her new best friend 'Dolly'.
If anyone is in the area this looks like lots of fun! So much to see and learn, so many dogs to meet!
I am sharing these photos of West Highland White puppies for a friend who lives up the road a few miles (km) from me! These puppies come from some of the best bloodlines in the world and are cared for by a breeder with decades of experience and wisdom. I will post more information in another post to follow, including links to her information if anyone is interested. They are from two litters, one born June 3 and the other June 5. There are both male and female puppies available. For now, if anyone is interested in a Westie pup please contact me and I'll pass on the contact information for Dolden Kennels and Dolores Richardson (breeder). ❤🐾
UPDATE: These two Momo and Murdoch girls are about to be headed on the adventure of a lifetime! They will be living in the United Kingdom and become part of another fine breeding program! 3 more weeks and they will be making the transatlantic journey to their new home! So exciting!! 🐾❤🐾❤✈️
This is Roarie who also lives in BC! His beard is perfectly sun-kissed!
These two Calais and Murdoch girls are still available! Time to find their forever homes! Please share this post freely!
These boys are little Fergus and Finn - brothers who live in Courtney BC! They are styling in their post surgical suits after being neutered but still look like the perfect little pair! ❤🥰🐾
I have so many photos so share, but these come first! These are two of Brooke and Suki's puppies - Raven (girl) and Gryffin (boy). There were entered in the show hosted by the Grande Prairie Regional Kennel Club and one of them took Best Baby Puppy in Group! So much fun for everyone!
This is a truly wonderful video provided by the Scottish Terrier Club of America. https://fb.watch/tfKThCElvp/
These two just melt my heart. 🥰❤
What a great photo in the CKC feature post on terriers! The best of the terriers without a doubt!
are very bright, independent who learn fastest when taught in a manner that captivates them, such as a game. Learn more about terriers on : https://www.ckc.ca/en/The-Dish/August-2018/Group-Focus-Terriers,-No-guts,-no-glory

Just a quick update with my apologies for any delays in communication this week. I have a family member (Grant for those of you who know him) in the cardiac intensive care unit this week. Obviously I'm doing my best to keep up with everything but this is a signficant challenge. Please be patient if I don't respond immediately if and when you reach out to me. Thanks for understanding!
