Q. & A. with Rachael
Why did you start breeding?
We first fell in love with Australian Labradoodles when looking for a family dog that would be a good fit for us, as we have a lot of allergies and wanted a dog who would fit into our active lifestyle. We found that the multi-generational Labradoodles didn't affect our allergies, were super mellow, as well as busy enough to keep up with all of our activities.What makes your program special?
All of our babies are raised in our home and get attention from us & the kids, as well as the neighborhood children who stop by to cuddle and love on them regularly! Once you have one of our puppies, we're sure you will understand why Australian Labradoodles are known as the cream of the crop of Labradoodles.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel cream, caramel red, red, apricot, cream, chocolate, cafe, lavendar, parchment, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
