Meet the breeder

I'm Tonna W., the breeder behind Pamlico Labradoodles located in Washington, NC. Our dogs are family members first and foremost. We're passionate, responsible breeders who truly love our dogs and what we do. We raise adorable, affectionate, versatile puppies, and give them the best possible start for a life of companionship and love! We prepare all of our pups to excel in life by implementing Early Neurological Stimulation and Puppy Culture. They are doggy door trained and familiar with a crate.

Q. & A. with Tonna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We purchased our first Labradoodle, Bennington, in 2008 and soon felt that he was the best dog we had ever had. We decided in 2014 to purchase Bella and begin breeding to see if it was something we enjoyed. Neither of us had prior experiences with breeding so we educated ourselves and had our first Bennington/Bella litter of 2 puppies. God must have known we needed to start out small. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.

  • What makes your program special?

    We only have a litter twice a year and utilize 2 females that are our family pets. This means that when we have puppies it is a very special time around our house and the pups receive plenty of attention and love. We have a great sunroom that we use when we have puppies. It has a doggy door that leads onto a deck where pups learn to go potty and play. We also use early neurological stimulation and Puppy Culture. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.

  • 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 cream, caramel, caramel red, apricot, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Elizabeth M.

    Verified owner · July 2026

    Working with Tonna and Pamlico Labradoodles was delightful. Tonna was accessible and patient as we worked through our decision. She was flexible as we planned for (and were late for, thanks to traffic!) pick-up. Our new puppy has a wonderful temperament - you can tell he was well cared for and handled with love. I would highly recommend Pamlico Labradoodles to anyone considering a new dog!

  • Erin E.

    Verified owner · May 2026

    We highly recommend Tonna and Pamlico Labradoodles for their exceptional care and expertise. After conducting in-depth research on breeds and breeders, we chose them because we required a dog that would encourage physical activity, spread joy, and remain calm when our son with autism is dysregulated. Tonna was wonderful in helping us select the puppy with the best temperament for our specific needs. The Early Neurological Stimulation clearly helped our puppy adapt to new experiences with confidence. Zola (originally Tala) is now a little over a year old, and she has been a perfect addition to our family. Her characteristics include: - Exceptional Temperament: She is incredibly sweet, playful, and enjoys meeting new people. - Highly Adaptable: She is always happy to spend time with us; whether cuddling on the couch, playing (soccer, fetch, tug, swimming, agility), or hiking. - Trainable and Social: She has been a joy to train, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is currently learning agility. We are so grateful for the work that has gone into developing Austrailian Labradoodles and cannot imagine our lives without Zola.
