Q. & A. with Jillian
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Australian Labradoodles breed. Our dogs have proven to be incredible, loving companions, and we wanted to share that experience with others by producing healthy, happy puppies. It is so fulfilling. It's an amazing feeling knowing that we have made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
What makes your program special?
All of our breeding dogs are very carefully selected, and extensively health tested to ensure we are offering the healthiest puppies for your family. We socialize our dogs by taking them hiking, boating, walks alongside the Quinebaug River on the bike path, and many times even to Lowe’s, the bank, and the post office! We are passionate about what we do, and we can't wait to connect with you.
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, red, gold, apricot, cream, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Maddy, mom
Australian Labradoodle
About Maddy
Maddy is a once in a lifetime dog. She has the darkest chocolate coat I have ever seen. Most chocolates fade. The entire litter including Maddy did not fade and today are all deep dark chocolates. Maddy is my personal service dog. She is incredible with puppies and up and comers teaching them right from wrong. She is exceptionally amazing at communicating. If she wants to play ball, she will find any ball- even though it may not be one of her favorites and drop it at my feet. If she wants to go for a swim, she will gently give me her paw and lead me to the door in the kitchen that leads to my garage as that is where I keep my backpack full of balls for the lake. If she wants to go hiking, she will bring me her red leash. She will always figure out a way to communicate with me!! She is the perfect size dog. Not too big and not too small. Her coat is very easy to groom. Her eyes are soulful. Less than a month left to meet her gorgeous puppies!!
