I'm Lori D., the breeder behind Suncrest Australian Labradoodles located in Portland, OR. We're a boutique breeder specializing in mini to small-medium Australian Labradoodles. Our breeding dogs are tested to the ALAA Gold Paw Standards. We take pride in our dogs' soft fleece, non-shedding coats. We love this size as the dogs are big enough to enjoy adventures with and small enough to snuggle and cuddle!
Q. & A. with Lori
Why did you start breeding?
I learned to love breeding as my father dabbled in it as I grew up. I’m a labor and delivery nurse and adore raising puppies. The two just seem to go together so well and it became a hobby that I love and am devoted to.
What makes your program special?
This fun-loving breed won us over with their joyful happy hearts, intelligence, eagerness to please, and playful, comical nature. We choose to have only a few litters a year so that we can truly devote our love and attention to the puppies. All dogs deserve to be loved, spoiled, and pampered, so we strive to place all our puppies in homes where they will be treated like cherished family members.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
