Q. & A. with Katrina
Why did you start breeding?
We already had a wonderful Labrador Retriever but when deciding to add another dog to our family we discovered the Australian Labradoodle with its non-shedding coat and intelligent, funny and endearing personality. Our foundation girls came from Manor Lake Labradoodles in Washington State and Sunvalley Labradoodles in Canada.
What makes your program special?
We breed only authentic multigenerational Australian Labradoodles originating from Ruthland Manor and Teagan Park lines. We follow the strictest health testing set forth in the “Silver Paw” and “Golden Paw” programs recommended by the ALAA. We only raise a few litters per year which allows us to provide our undivided attention to each new puppy. This ensures your puppy arrives with a good temperament and is well socialized – ready to be a part of your family!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
