We’re so grateful to have found our puppy through the Good Dog app! Katie was super responsive and very knowledgeable about the breed and happy to share about her practices including the early socialization she does which was very important to us. Our puppy is almost 5 months and is very eager to please and happy to learn new things and have adventures. He loves meeting new people and animals. He enjoys playing fetch and going to the dog beach. He hangs out on restaurant patios and is calm and non-anxious even during his first thunder and lightning storm. We highly recommend this breed (Australian Labradoodle) and Katie as a breeder. 🐶💜

Casanova Robertson On April 8, 2025 we picked up Casanova from Katie at Shasta Monroe after having lost our ALD of 15 years. Our original ALD had been flown to us from Australia and was a “stud” dog and produced a number of offspring. When it was time for us to open our hearts to a new puppy we went on an exhaustive search both in Australia and around the United States. The rules for allowing a puppy into the United States have changed and so we looked at breeders in many areas. We had specific items that we needed in the bloodline and Katie was able to provide us with complete and particular information. Katie was responsive to our questions, sent us numerous videos during the selection process and had the knowledge base to insure we had found the right breeder. To our good luck she had our “Casanova” which was in training in the AKC Puppy Star program which meant when finished he was trained in many skills. While admittedly a trained puppy comes at a price the rewards were many. Casanova was four months old and knew several basic commands, was potty trained, crate trained and leash trained. The value of getting a trained puppy cannot be underestimated. We were able to immediately take him with us and continue his socialization. We had him at softball games, took him into stores that allowed, introduced him to our grandchildren from day one we also visited all our friends homes that were “dog people” and he was hugged and loved by dozens. Since he is a pretty boy with quite a prance to his walk we are stopped by people wherever we go who ask “can I pet him?” The training he received from Shasta Monroe apparently brought out the ALD traits and Casanova has not found a person he does not love. We live on a farm so he is exposed to all kinds of animals and so far the only ones he barks at are the cows, which with time we will curb! We walk Casanova without a leash on our property since we have the space and he responds to a “comeback” call . Everyone’s situation is different, of course, but when we got home he never again saw the inside of a crate. He sleeps through the night either on his bed or the cool tile floor. We have also found that since Shasta Monroe trained him with treats he is very responsive to that approach. Since he came with all the basic training we have had fun teaching him to shake hands, give high fives, roll over, chase his tail, give, and down stay in addition he responds to several hand commands. Starting with a dog who is trained and has the appropriate bloodlines gave us a very special dog which is enjoyed by us and so many. If you are looking for a ALD we suggest you give Katie at Shasta Monroe a chance to show you her dogs and consider having her put them through their basic training in order to reduce the drama of puppy time. We are always happy to answer questions and if you want to be put the Casanova photo gallery just let us know.
