We have decades of ongoing references from our families all around the world from Vancouver B.C Canada, Calgary, Edmonton Alberta to as far away as Toronto, Miami, Palm Springs, Italy and Singapore. 

Hi Corinne,

Andrea mentioned that she was going to apply for a puppy and I'm so glad she did! She was the first of our friends to meet Ollie and she is smitten with him. She would be a lovely mum to one of your puppies. Here's a picture of Ollie lying under my feet as I write this message.

Take care, Suzanne

Hi Corinne and Mike, Just wanted to give you a little update on Ollie. He is growing into the best little guy and we love him to bits! He's now 4 months old and has received all of his shots. He's growing quickly, but he's still super small -- he's now just over 5lbs. He loves his food and is very treat oriented which makes training a breeze. We've done a lot of socialization and training, and it's really paid off -- he knows how to sit, lie down, stay, and he walks on his leash very well. He's just the most chilled out little guy imaginable and we get comments all the time on his calmness. He loves every person, child, and dog he meets. He LOVES going to school with our daughter and getting mobbed by school children and he's also super fond of walks to the local coffee shop so he can meet new people. He's really gotten used to the routine around our house and revels in his laid back lifestyle. He's a great sleeper and lounger, and we think he'd rather choose to stay home than go for a walk most days. Here are some photos so you can see how he's grown.

Cheers,

Suzanne

Hi Mike and Corinne, Just a quick update. Ollie is doing so well! He's eating kefir (like crazy) and kibble. And he loves the little treats you sent with him. He's sleeping a lot (loves his crate) and slept through the night last night. We are completely blown away with his litter box training -- we set up a small box with pine pellets just as you instructed and he has been using it regularly on his own since we brought him home. He's starting to come out of his shell and absolutely adores our 8 year old daughter. He's so calm and happy in her arms, which is wonderful. He plays up a storm with her and kisses her all over. He's warmed up to her more than us at this point, and we're perfectly happy with that. He loves his toys, particularly the chewie stuffy. His safe zone is our kitchen and he's been very brave, exploring the area. He spent some time today crying/whimpering, obviously misses his pack, but as soon as our daughter came home from school his whole mood changed! We couldn't be more delighted with his progress so far. We can tell already that he's the perfect little man for our family. I'll continue to update you. 

Cheers, Suzanne

Hi Corinne and Mike,  Just wanted to share this photo of Ollie (on the right) and his half brother Otis (on the left). Otis is catching up in size to Ollie. They're great pals! We've had a few meetings with some other Tiny Teddies on the North Shore -- Annie, and Bailey (both from Otis' litter). It's very cute seeing 4 Tiny teddies playing together! They are all so similar!  All the best to you both and Merry Christmas!  Cheers, Suzanne

And a Happy New Year 2021! 

I have been meaning forever to send you holiday updates of our little Toffee man. Fun, comical, bichon buzzed, loving…you name it, he has it! I just wanted to share a reference for all potential dog owners that this is probably one of the best mixed breeds for families!  I can’t believe they’re not in the forefront for a ZUCHON Kennel Club! We are so glad we purchased Toffee in 2018 before this pandemic hit.  Now I’m sure you’re inundated with emails and applications! If you’re ever coming to the city, please call or email us. I’d love for you and Mike to see one of your extended family members! Take care!

Hello Corrine and Mike, I hope you and your fur family are well. Just wanted to give you an update on our little Toffee.  He’s sassy, comical, obedient one minute, mellow and low key the next minute. He has matured these past few weeks.  I can see that he looks like a mix of both Jumba and Zeva .Toffee is almost 7 months!  He’s almost 12 pounds. He was neutered about three weeks ago.  He was such a trooper!  He was sad the day we picked him up after his surgery, but he perked up right away the next day.  He’s fully housetrained now but we leave the litter box out just in case. He never uses it much anymore.  He can ring the bell hanging on our patio door to indicate that he needs to go do his business outside. We have a wonderful relationship with our dog trainer/walker/sitter.  Isabel our trainer takes Toffee out twice a week at off leash parks and beaches. where Toffee can run and spar with other dogs in his pack.  Toffee used to be the youngest pup in his pack, but since then, new pups have arrived and Toffee puts them in their place!  I’ll send you more photos. We’ve switched Toffee from Kibble to Real Raw diets. We do a combination of freezed dried grand cru kibble and raw paddies containing meat, tendons and bones.  We still give him his probiotics every morning.  Toffee gobbles it up right away.  We think raw is the way to go for dogs as we’ve seen, he was getting bored of the kibble. I know that you probably think about your dogs everyday.  But I really wanted to update you on the progress of our little guy.  Toffee has brought so much joy into our lives! Here are some pictures and videos of Toffee running with his pack! Take care! Maureen

Hi Mike and Corinne, I hope you are both doing well. I wanted to send you a few new pictures from Thors first birthday! The one at the bottom is him after eating pup scoops ice cream for the first time! He really liked it:) Thor is doing really well and is such a blessing in my life:) he makes every day special and exciting. Do you recognize his purple ball? He still loves this toy, especially the tag on it haha! It’s still one of his favourites to play with. Thank you so much for the many ways you have blessed me with this little one, he truly brings so much joy and laughter into my home:) Blessings. Jyvanie

Dear Mike and Corinne, I wanted to send you a little note to say thank you so much for the way you have blessed my life with the addition of Thor into my family. He is such a sweet boy, and we grow closer as each day passes! I pray that you are both doing well and that you have a wonderful Christmas filled with many special blessings. Merry Christmas. Jyvanie and Thor

Dear Mike and Corinne,

It is incredible how fast four months with a new puppy fly by! I hope you have both been enjoying your summer as much as I have.

Thor continues to grow into a beautiful, happy, and healthy dog! He has such a joyful, curious, and loving personality. He now weighs over 10 pounds, and is learning so many cool new tricks.

I wanted to send an email to you to let you know that Thor has just had his neuter appointment today. He is doing well, and is such a good little puppy!

Below is the certificate I received from the vet.

Dear Mike and Corinne,

Just sending you a message to say hi!

Thor
