Stonegate Labradoodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristen P., the breeder behind Stonegate Labradoodles located in Highland, NY. Our goal is to create family dogs that could also be suited as therapy dogs. Our dogs are also successfully placed with families with dog allergies. Our dogs are raised indoors in my own home and are raised as family pets first. No kennels and they stay for life. They are my babies after all!
Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
I love Labradors. I have had them for many, many years. But I was growing older and I was tired of their heavy shedding. I wanted big dogs again, but couldn’t decide on a new breed, other than Labradors. But then through research, I found out about Labradoodles and fell in love. They are great family dogs who don't shed like Labradors. That is the start of my breeding career.What makes your program special?
I test my dogs for everything through OFA and DNA. We believe that our dogs must have all official health clearances. We also do Puppy Culture and ENS which helps in raising dogs with good temperaments that can be therapy dogs. It's very important to me that we create the best family dogs possible.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Labradoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Australian Labradoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Labradoodle puppies include chocolate, black, and tri-color. Australian Labradoodle puppies include chocolate, black, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
