Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with our first Australian Labradoodle in 2014. We loved his intuitive, friendly, playful temperament and, of course, his non-shedding coat for our family with allergies. I want to offer an extremely positive breeder and puppy journey experience for families.
What makes your program special?
We have 2 main goals in our program. It is a given that we do extensive health and genetic testing on all our dogs but we also provide the Puppy Culture Program to all of our puppies which includes Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Early Scent Introduction (ESI), as well as socialization, and beginning potty and crate training. We want to give you a healthy, well-adjusted puppy with a wonderful temperament. Our other main goals is to offer an extremely positive experience with our families, providing transparency of our program and great communication.
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, red, apricot, cream, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
