A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US
You can find us nestled in a forested corner of Lynn Valley, North Vancouver, where we reside with our precious family labradoodle, Willow. While we value adopting from rescues, we also recognize the desire and demand for ethically bred dogs. Please note we have no litters planned for 2024. Please check back in 2025 for updates. See our past litter here: past litter.
About the
Breeder
Heather is a teacher, a wife, a mother to four fully grown humans, and (obviously) dog-mom to Willow. After successfully raising humans, decades of owning dogs, and recently experiencing the joy of raising and training Willow, she has decided to focus her efforts on raising labradoodle puppies. She is dedicated to breeding and raising the puppies ethically in a loving home and looks forward to potentially providing you with your new BFF. Applicants will be carefully screened.
About Willow
Willow was pick of her litter! She is a medium-sized F1 Labradoodle, meaning she is a first generation cross between a labrador retriever and a poodle. She has reached her maximum weight at about 47lbs and is the perfect family dog with the most lovely temperament. She is playful, smart, friendly, and loves her swims, walks and chasing balls. She absolutely adores children as well as her rescue foster puppy siblings.
About Duke
Duke is the sire we carefully picked for Willow. This handsome stud is a chocolate poodle with a lovely personality who weighs 45 lbs. He lives with his family in Chilliwack, BC on a large property and has sired many litters successfully. He has been genetically tested through Embark and his hips and elbows have been cleared by OFA for breeding.

About the Puppies
Follow @willowoftheforest on instagram to see updated stories of the growing puppies!
Willow gave birth to 11 little labradoodle pups on June 8, 2023 between 1:00AM and 8:30AM. Puppy #1 was born at home and due to a big break/slow labour we then took her into the vet. No interventions needed to take place as puppy #2 was born in the car on the way there! Puppy #2 is the runt of the litter and we are watching it carefully to ensure it keeps growing. We let mama Willow continue whelping in the vet's office which meant each puppy was able to be individually checked by the vet - all were deemed healthy at birth and they had no concerns. They have been gaining weight every day and are a very cute little bunch. We have a good selection of colours and sexes and a few different coat varieties. Individual pictures will be uploaded in the coming week and we will keep updating them.
A $300.00 deposit and signed contract will be required to reserve a puppy after your application has been accepted. The balance of $1,200.00 will need to be received by us prior to picking up the puppy. This helps us cover the costs of vetting and health-related costs as each puppy will come vet-checked, with its first shots, and dewormed.
Please note that puppies will be sold with the understanding that they are to be household pets and are not being sold for breeding purposes. This will be included in the contract.
