Q. & A. with Gayle
Why did you start breeding?
While searching for the best breed and puppy for our family, we decided on the Australian Labradoodle because of some of their amazing qualities we discovered: they make the best family pets, don't shed, are easy to train, allergy friendly, intelligent, athletic, funny and endearing. They are also simply beautiful and and easy to care for.What makes your program special?
We follow the strict breeding and registration guidelines of the ALAA. The standards set for unsurpassed quality and responsible breeding by the association are paramount to the success and safekeeping of this outstanding breed. North Country Australian Labradoodles’ bloodlines originate from the founders of the Australian Labradoodle: the facilities of Tegan Park and Rutland Manor in Australia.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
