Meet the breeder
I'm Dana F., the breeder behind Kismet Labradoodles located in Arden, NC.
Q. & A. with Dana
Why did you start breeding?
I always dreamed of having a dog as a child. When I was around six years old, we lost our beloved puppy to Parvo and it left a lasting mark. I’ve always believed good breeders make a difference. Dogs love us in a way few others can — unconditionally. My goal is to raise incredible, healthy pups with desired temperaments and match them with families who will cherish that kind of love.What makes your program special?
At Kismet Labradoodles our dogs aren’t just dogs, they’re family. We spend our days with them, we watch movies together, we take roadtrips together. Your best success will be finding the pup that’s your perfect match. We specialize in setting you up with the perfect pup for you. We believe that nutrition is a key component in a happy and healthy dog, as such we feed a highly nutritious diet.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 chocolate and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Aspen, mom
Australian Labradoodle
About Aspen
Aspen is a perfect balance of calm and playful. She is very easy going, sweet, and adaptable. She loves everyone she meets and that includes both dogs and humans (adults and children alike). She’s a social butterfly and also loves snuggling. Loves playing as much as she loves training. We love her looks and we adore her spunky personality. She balances her independence with her love for cuddles and attention so well. Her athletic agility is truly impressive. Aspen is always up for adventures with us, very easy to travel with, and also does not mind slower paced days at home.
Zeppelin, dad
Australian Labradoodle
About Zeppelin
Zeppelin is pretty much a real life teddy bear with a signature smile so contagious, you cannot help but smile back. He is a professional snuggler and gives the best human-style hugs. His soft coat, beautiful eyes, sweet temperament and charisma charms everyone he meets. He is eager to please and loves training time. His energy is a nice balance of athletic endurance mixed with ability to recharge in true ALD style by taking a nap on his back with all paws sticking up to the ceiling. He loves beach days as much as he loves the snow and is very adaptable to changes in his environment.
