We focus on raising happy, confident pups who transition easily into your family.

Q. & A. with Gretchen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up with majestic German Shepherds, and my husband, lovable Golden Retrievers. Then we witnessed the teddy-bear faces of Australian Labradoodles and just fell in love. With the added benefits of non-shedding fur, fewer allergens, and being insanely smart, we were in. Our family gets to experience the miracle of life up close; each puppy's face pulls on our heartstrings. It was a win-win
  • What makes your program special?

    We are dedicated to upholding the absolute integrity of the breed. Our thoughtful breeding program focuses strictly on quality, selecting parents with outstanding pedigrees and rigorous health clearances. Our pups are naturally friendly, easygoing and eager to learn, making them incredible family companions that excel in training and possess allergy-friendly, nonshedding wavy fleece coats, as well
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include caramel, red, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
