Q. & A. with Michele
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the Australian Labradoodle breed after searching for a non-shedding and hypoallergenic furry companion. Our dogs have proven to be incredible, loving companions, and we wanted to share that experience with others by producing healthy puppies. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too! We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs.
What makes your program special?
Our commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. We are enthusiastic about our program and look forward to advancing the wonderful qualities of the Australian Labradoodle with a focus on health, temperament, and structure!
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.
