Liz and a Suzie puppy
Our dear Suzy who gave us twenty-seven puppies retired after her litter last fall. We
thought we would always have her as she was our pet. She arrived at our house shortly after
Lilyanna. We met a gentleman who we knew would be perfect because he too was retired. He
and Suzie are having a wonderful life together. We miss her but she is having a great life and
I suspect doesn't miss us all that much.
We both enjoy looking after our dogs and puppies. I must say Liz cleans up more of the poop than
I do. I enjoy the computer and letting people know about the puppies. Fortunately I am
a senior citizen and am able to stay home with the gang while Liz has a job to go to every day.
We have been fortunate over the past years to meet many lovely families. The majority of
our puppy families stay in touch with us. We love to know about the lives of our dogs.

Doggies are all crate trained at Over The Moon but they don't spend too much time
in their crates. They live their life following us about the house and playing outside.
We all love visitors and everybody is welcome to come and see us. If you would like to
see a specific dog please let us know in advance because some of our parents are in guardian
homes. We live within the city of Grand Forks at 2675 - 65th Avenue. We are two
hours north of Spokane Washington, right on the American border. We are west of Nelson, BC.
People usually require
directions to find us so please call ahead. We give lattes.
To the right is our wonderful retired Suzie playing soccer with her new dad, Brian.
Suzie gave us many wonderful puppies and we were sad to see her go until we had this
visit and saw how happy Suzie and Brian are together. She has learned so many new skills,
including soccer which we must confess is not something she could have learned from
us.
Our House
We love dogs at our house. We raised darling miniature poodles and we live with three poodles,
our miniature retired couple Sophie and Dundee as well as our 'maiden aunt, Annabel who is now ten and helps
keep our doodle puppies minding their manners.
It was when Karen McKay, one of the original Australian Labradoodle breeders in North America asked us
to pick up an Australian Labradoodle puppy at the airport that we fell in love with this amazing breed.
The Labradoodles we got to know were happy, friendly to everybody and eager to please. I am severely
asthmatic and was happy when I was able to be in a house full of Labradoodles with no
difficulty.
It was only a short while before we brought, Lilyanna, our first Labraoodle puppy into our life. She grew up
to be a charming girl who has given us wonderful puppies. At the moment our other Labradoodle mums
and dads lead sheltered lives in guardian homes where they are sometimes the only dog of a doting family.
