I'm Angela G., the breeder behind Crown Doodles located in Fort Defiance, VA. We are a small, dedicated in-home breeder of authentic, multigenerational Australian Labradoodles. Our dogs come from a prestigious lineage, directly descended from the renowned Tegan Park and/or Rutland Manor Research Center in Australia.
Nestled in the breathtaking Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, our home is filled with the laughter and joy that our dogs bring as cherished family members. Our puppies are nurtured in a warm, loving environment, free from the confines of a kennel, allowing them to thrive as they begin their journey into the world. We employ early neurological stimulation techniques and embrace the enriching "Puppy Culture" program, ensuring that each puppy develops into a well-rounded companion.
Our parent dogs are registered with the Australian Labradoodle Club of America. They have completed all ALCA-required health testing, ensuring they meet the highest standards of health and quality.
Experience the unique charm of a Crown Doodle, where love and care come together in every wagging tail.

We discovered our puppy through Good Dog, a devoted company, and actually met her and her wonderful breeders Angela and her husband. We instantly fell in love with her and named her Brandy. We have had Brandy for 8 months. Everyone knows that Brandy is the joy of our heart! We enjoy caring for her. She is very affectionate and full of energy and likes to play catch. She is very smart that sometimes she can easily outsmart us. I have enjoyed training her with the assistance of Baxter & Bella Co home self training programs which Angela referred us to. During quiet time she likes to cuddle and even lay on your lap and loves to be hugged. As I hold Brandy her body is full of life and warm and soothing. Angela Gibson’s wonderful Australian Labradoodle, raised by her, are naturally bonding and Brandy certainly done that with us and us with her. She has a donut shaggy soft calming resting bag she can sink into for warmth and coziness for naps and a large playpen. We all eat together. Brandy is very rewarding to us. We love her and she loves us in return. I would definitely recommend adopting a pet from Angela. She has been amazing to work with all along even today. She has been patient with always answered all our questions about her puppies. Brandy is beautiful, we care for her, and the whole family is happy to have her!
