Meet the breeder
I'm Carolyn A., the breeder behind Salem Manor Australian Labradoodles located in Forsyth County, NC. The focus preserves the breed's signature intuitive connection, intense eye contact, and easy going nature. I use a program called "puppy culture" to insure excellent socialization, sound imprinting, neurological development, and the beginning of basic training.
Q. & A. with Carolyn
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up with a life long exposure to breeding and training champion field trail black Labrador Retrievers. Recognizing high breeding standards is second nature to me.What makes your program special?
I deliberately maintain a boutique, small scale footprint rather than operating high volume. Keeping the program small ensures that every single puppy receives intensive, hands on human contact from the day they are born. This early stimulation is critical for developing stable, confident dogs that transition to the home.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and chalk, caramel, apricot, chocolate, lavendar, parchment, black, silver, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
