Q. & A. with Courtney
Why did you start breeding?
Eight years ago we welcomed our first Australian Labradoodle into our family- this breed was special. A year later we welcomed our second. A consistent love for the breed encouraged the beginning of Welcome Home Doodles. I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder to produce healthy, well-rounded puppies and improve upon the unique qualities that this breed has to offer.
What makes your program special?
We are a selective program that focuses on conformation, temperament, and the overall health and well-being of our pups. Our program is special because of our dogs. They are such a joy, and we find so much fulfillment in raising and preparing them for their loving, forever homes. We work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Australian Labradoodle line and your pup.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, gold, apricot, cream, chocolate, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
