Meet the breeder
I'm Vaughn T., the breeder behind Playful Paws Labradoodles located in Commerce City, CO. Welcome to playful Paws Labradoodle – Denver's Quality Boutique Labradoodle Breeder, we do one thing Labradoodles! Seeking a healthy, truly special Labradoodle puppy in Denver?Nestled just north of Denver, we are a small, passionate breeder dedicated to raising exceptional Labradoodle companions. Unlike high-volume operations, we focus on just one carefully planned litter per year from our small family of breeding dogs: one male and two females, thoughtfully rotated for their health and wellbeing. Our trio has been specifically selected for their gentle,smart and playful temperament, with genuine attraction to their owners. Our trio starts with our handsome male: gen 2 labradoodle with striking red with white markings, boasting a classic, Lab-like appearance. He's paired thoughtfully with our two exceptional females: Ember, a gen 2 labradoodle with lighter reddish-tan beauty with more curl and distinct Poodle characteristics, and Raven, a gen 3 Labradoodle with sleek black/grey with white markings, showcasing a very Poodle-like, slim figure. This intentional combination of looks, coat types, and temperaments gives us a wonderful variety of colors (reds, apricots, blacks, greys, creams) and coat textures (wavy fleece to looser curls and straight coats) in each carefully planned litter. Health and wellness is our foundation: All our breeding dogs undergo comprehensive genetic health testing relevant to Labradoodles before breeding, ensuring we minimize the risk of serious inherited conditions in our puppies. This intimate scale allows us to pour unparalleled personal love and attention into every single puppy. From their earliest days, they benefit from gentle desensitization practices to build confidence and adaptability. They are lovingly pee- pad-trained for an easier transition to your home and come with their first vaccinations complete. To welcome your new family member, each puppy leaves with a special Care Package including a cozy blanket scented with their littermates and mother's scent, healthy treats, engaging toys, and a starter supply of premium puppy food. Plus, we're happy to connect you with trusted quality puppy training referrals in the Denver area. We believe in quality over quantity, raising healthy, well-socialized puppies destined to bring joy to your home. Discover the difference personalized care and genetic responsibility make.

Verified owner · June 2024
Vaughn was great to work with. He provided all the information we needed ahead of picking up the puppy to feel secure with our purchase; and provided ample instructions and recommendations for care and training during pick up. It’s obvious that the puppy (along with his brothers and sisters) and his parents are very, very well cared for, happy, and healthy. It’s clear that Vaughn has set high standards for his facility; and truly loves the work.
