Magisterial will be going to Africa in 2013!  As some of you may know already, Joshua will soon be finished his BSCN program and will be certified to assist in medical procedures while in Africa.  He is very excited about the thought of being able to help the people who are most in need.  We also plan to tour some wildlife preservation centres, assist in helping a family build a new home, and will be donating funds to worthy organizations in need. 

From now until our trip, $25 from the sale of each puppy will go directly to our donation fund.  Any additional donations are always greatly appreciated, and of course very much needed in Africa.  We are very passionate about wildlife and the beauty of our planet.  This is a major trip that we have been planning for a couple years now.  We are extremely excited to know that a date is now set and the planning details can begin!  Photos and details of the Magisterial Africa Project will be posted as they become available.  Any of our past or current clients are more than welcome to join us; in fact we would love it!

We would like to thank you for taking an interest in Magisterial Kennels, and welcome you to our website.  If you seek a memorable, life altering experience, you have definitely landed in the right place!  Allow us to introduce who we are and what we aim to achieve in our life’s mission at Magisterial.  We produce exceptional puppies, for exceptional families who are ready to emBARK! on a completely life altering experience.  We have a deeply rooted passion for dogs and we strive to produce quality sound puppies, not in large quantities.  As you continue to navigate through our site, our passion for what we do will be further revealed, and we think you will gain a sense of why we do what we do.  At Magisterial Kennels, it isn’t what we do, but rather how we do it!
 
From the time we awake in the morning, until we retire for the evening, our entire world revolves around our dogs and, we cherish every moment that we spend with them.  They enrich our lives beyond imagination by providing us with eternal love, companionship, and wisdom that no human could possibly possess.  When we gaze into the eyes of our dogs, we catch a glimpse of their souls, and are captivated by their innocence and everlasting love for us.  They provide us with unsurpassed loyalty and affection, and expect so little from us.  After all, affection from us is all they desire.  It is for of all these reasons that we have embarked on a life-long journey; breeding dogs of an outstanding nature, for others to embrace, and share the feelings that they provide us with.

If we have peaked your interest even slightly, we encourage you to explore the idea of welcoming your very own Magisterial puppy into your home, and into the hearts of your family members.

All of our dogs are raised with an abundance of affection, and they literally become part of our family.  We are always anxiously waiting to personally welcome each Magisterial puppy into the world and into our hearts.  The feeling we get when we see that puppy for the very first time is indescribable.  We are extremely fortunate and blessed to be part of such a miraculous event.  All litters of Magisterial puppies are born in our living room with human and K9 family members awaiting their arrival.  The love that each Magisterial puppy receives is almost unimaginable to the average person.  Some members of our “human only” family would probably even tell you that we’re out of this world. Of course, we don’t feel as though we are what-so-ever! 

From the moment they are born, all of our puppies are handled hourly and are integrated into our family life.  They are exposed to all aspects of a typical home, such as telephones ringing, vacuum cleaners, laughter, visitors, etc.  They interact with other dogs of different sizes, which greatly benefits their socialization.  We foster an environment where the puppies can spend copious amounts of time with their Mother, which in return encourages optimal development.  Magisterial Puppies are always introduced to the outdoors as early as possible, and trained with a collar and leash.  We also begin house training and crate training, so that when they arrive at their new home, they are well on their way to a happy new life with their new family members!

We have always had a genuine interest and passion for dogs of all breeds.  Over the years, we have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience that has provided us a rich, solid foundation on which to build a kennel of the highest standings.  In our early years, to gain knowledge and wisdom, we attended many dogs shows and events, conversed with several dog enthusiasts, spent endless hours at libraries researching, and aligned ourselves with many other reputable dog breeders within North America. 

Since obtaining all of the knowledge and experience that we currently possess, we found the task of deducing our selection down to one breed unbelievably challenging.  We chose what we believe to be the three most magnificent breeds on the planet.  Each exhibits unique qualities and abilities that do not exist in most other breeds.  Drum roll please!!! Our three choice breeds are: the Standard Poodle, the Giant Schnauzer, and the Cairn Terrier.  People always ask which of the breeds is our favourite.  This question is impossible for us to answer, as we believe them all to be outstanding!  For more information on each specific breed, please click the Magisterial Dogs link at the top of this page.

Magisterial Kennels is a proud member of the Canadian Kennel Club, and in great standing.  We follow all codes of conduct and ethics, and believe strongly in the Canadian Kennel Club's mission statement.  All organizations and groups involved with dogs should consider the dog's well-being and safety to be their paramount priority!  We support all groups that adhere to this philosophy.  We take quite a different approach to how we raise our dogs here at Magisterial.  Our dogs live with us, in our home.  They are all family members, therefore are treated as such.  We have designed fore them a luxury kennel, which is within our home, and equipped with all the amenities and luxuries that our space includes.  There is absolutely no space in our house considered to be a “dog free” zone.  You name it, and our dogs have it, or their own K9 version of it!

Deciding to add either your first Magisterial K9 family member; or, because you have so much love and dedication, you are contemplating adding a second or third member to your family, is simply a life altering experience.  If you have ever met a Magisterial member, then you know exactly what we are talking about.  We take great pride in what we do here, and welcome all questions, comments, and suggestions.  We are continually searching for ways to improve upon what we already believe to be an exceptional experience for Magisterial puppy purchasers.  We hope you enjoy our website's content, and find our information and advice helpful in making your decision to add a new member to your family.  Please feel free to Contact Us and ask any questions we have failed to answer for you, regarding our Magisterial Puppies!

Our residence is nestled away on a very small country road, just 10 minutes off HWY 401. We are two hours from Toronto and two hours from Ottawa--the exact half-way point between the two cities. I decided to post the following photos of our home and property. Many of our clients drive a very long distance and fly in from around the world. I know that personally, I would feel much better knowing what kind of establishment I'm about to visit. Our clients go to a lot of trouble making flight bookings, hotel reservations, etc. and I don't want them to think they are arriving at some kind of puppy mill. I want everyone to know that you won't find any kennels here. The dogs and puppies live 100% of their lives with us, in our home, under the same roof as we do! We take great pride in everything we do here at Magisterial, and we hope everyone is able to clearly see that after visiting and meeting us! We are always happy to help with hotel reservations and arranging things for you to do while in the Kingston area. The city is jam packed with culture, history and neat things to do. Make a weekend out of it!
