Darren and I acquired our first Australian Labradoodle in 2006 and have been breeding these magnificent dogs since 2008. It has been a wonderful journey rich with new knowledge, experiences and a tapestry of emotions. Even during our most challenging days we have not regretted a moment of raising these amazing dogs.
We think what sets us apart from many other breeders is that our small program allows us to focus on the quality of the Labradoodles we produce. We take mate selection very seriously as our puppies are only as healthy and wonderful as the parents we select. We are truly are a home raised program. Our Labradoodle puppies are reared right in our home. There are no kennel facilities for our puppies or their moms. In our opinion this is essential in raising a well socialized family pet. Our puppies are born and raised in a whelping and puppy rearing room. We are close by for support and as the weeks go on the puppies are exposed and acclimated to other parts of our home.
In addition to being Labradoodle breeders I have enjoyed a successful career as a mental health nurse and Darren is retiring after a long career with the City of Lethbridge. We have the same commitment to service and quality in our breeding program that we do in our careers.
We juvenile spay/neuter all puppies before they leave to their new families or sell on strict spay/neuter contracts. Our breeding females are spayed after the second litter. We donate money each year to animal rescues and will do all we can to help people locate a rescue/rehomed dog if that is your preference. We are cognizant to not breed litters without a demand for the puppies and so we gather a list of applicants/deposits in advance of the breeding.
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.
