Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
When we discovered my son was allergic to dogs, we were devastated. Like most people, we love the companionship of our furry family members and could not imagine life without them. We originally started searching for Labradoodles which led us to the Australian Labradoodle breed. When we took our son to meet an Australian Labradoodle and discovered that he had no adverse reactions, we were hooked. We all fell in love with the personalities and temperaments of the dogs and decided to help other families with allergy issues and become breeders of the line.
What makes your program special?
We stand behind our puppies knowing they all come from the founding bloodlines and have a top quality, certified pedigree. All of our Dams and Sires have had hip/elbow dysplasia tests, PRA tests, a DNA profile from Vetgen, and optical exams. Every litter of puppies is born and raised in our loving, caring home. Welcoming an Aussie puppy into your lives, home, and heart is a huge undertaking and blessing. We strive to find the right match for every puppy and his/her new family.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
