Jul 29, 2022 | 2:05 PM

If you want to break away from everyday life and experience some joy, a Vernon area dog breeder has just the ticket.

Karen Smith from Silver Star Doodles has started livestreaming their latest litter on YouTube.

And it’s a large litter with 15 puppies; eight males and seven females, who were born on June 12.

“I’ve seen our puppies bring joy to many visitors, from friends with small children to grandparents in their nineties, puppies put a smile on their face and bring joy,” said Smith. “Why not share this joy and happiness? My friend suggested I livestream the puppies so they can have some puppy zen in their busy workday, and I guess it has struck a chord.”

Adding even more “cuteness” to the story, the litter has a Harry Potter theme, with names ranging from Harry Pupper, to Hermoine Growler and Albus Dumbledog.

With over 75,000 views, people are logging on to watch the daily livestream, to see the puppies play, eat, sleep and go through their daily routine.

Also on the YouTube channel was Smith’s ‘Meet the Puppies’ series of Shorts. Each day for fifteen days, a new puppy is introduced. There are other shorts posted, including having her daughter run around in the field and all the puppies follow her.

There is also a video explaining the daily Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) that the puppies go through as part of their daily curriculum from day three for sixteen days.

“I love watching the puppy live stream, it just puts a smile on my face, they are so cute,” said Hal Hobenshield from Vernon.

‘I love the livestream puppy videos. When I’m stressed out at work, I take breaks to log on and get my dose of puppy zen,” added Yolanda Foose, from Whistler.

Silver Star Doodles is located on a hobby farm, with one to two litters per year.

This is the third litter for Ruby, their four-year-old F1B Goldendoodle, who is currently the farm’s only breeding dog.

Smith said there is some availability with the current litter.
