Q. & A. with Lindsay
Why did you start breeding?
We adopted our first Labrador while dating, our second Lab together on our honeymoon, and third Lab while expecting the birth of our human daughter Shelby. Lindsay's asthma could not tolerate the Labrador coat and we were introduced to the Australian Labradoodle breed. We fell in love and with Rob's family experience of breeding Dalmations, so began Chestnut Hill Australian Labradoodles.
