Seraphina, our up & coming momma!

Now taking applications and reservations for next litter of
Pure Australian Labradoodles (PAL's) - due early June!

We will have both black and cream colors, with soft fleecy coats (esp. b/c of our new stud Coal, who's gorgeous!).  Should be medium sized and if we're lucky, a few smalls or a mini! 

One wait slot available for this litter!

We first found Australian labradoodles while looking for a family dog that wouldn't affect our extensive allergies.  We fell in love with the breed, thanks to Susie at Doodle Ranch and have been breeding ever since!  What started as a homeschool project has turned into a wonderful addition to our lives, as we fall in love every day with each of our puppies and dogs!!

We are located in Ft Collins, Colorado, which gives us a great base as we're close to everything! We grew up with dogs in the house, and love being able to provide the same for the kids! The dogs we have now are truly part of our large extended family, as we often visit our home towns with dogs in tow!

We feel fortunate enough to be able to travel with our puppies, meeting the great families who adopt our dogs and spending time with our family in the great outdoors!  Our dogs go everywhere with us - hiking, rafting, kayaking and even surfing badly(us, not the dogs)!!  We really love having them in our daily activities, which helps them become even more socialized and comfortable in all settings!!

We are a small family breeder, focusing on quality Australian labradoodles, one at a time.  We breed from the original Tegan Park line of doodles - the original Australian doodle.  Our doodles are multigenerational (8 generations) bred doodle to doodle.  This gives you the guarantee of  the 'look' and temperament of high end doodles - we guarantee you that you will notice the difference!!  The children spend time with all of the puppies, one on one and together and we have many friends and other children who love playing with our babies!  We really have the best of all worlds!!  We actually only have 2 breeding girls in our home, which is fun as we get to spend lots of time with each of them as well as their 'boyfriend,' who visits from Doodle Ranch. 

All of our puppies are raised in our home exclusively. They frolic and play in the creek, in the woods, in the kiddie pool.  They relax on our deck in the warm sun, they cuddle up in the evenings on the rugs in front of the sofas and watch tv until they are lulled to sleep.  They spend every minute with us their first 8 weeks - they are truly a part of our family life!

A Word About Puppy Mills

In a struggling economy, many people are looking to reduce their costs and many times this translates into wanting to pay the least amount for a puppy.  Although there may be some success stories with rescue dogs, this is a huge risk to take when choosing a puppy who you hope to have as a family member for many years.  Often, rescue dogs come from a poor background - either dumped by an irresponsible breeder or sent off to the rescue due to medical or temperament concerns from a family -- concerns that could have been avoided by purchasing a quality dog right up front.  In short, you get what you pay for!

Although you may feel you are getting a 'bargain' when you choose the lowest priced dog, you may wish to stop and consider why the dog is so cheap.  The range of prices for quality Australian labradoodles is generally $2000 - $2800 and even more for breeding dogs!  This is because of the costs involved with purchasing quality breeding dogs: feeding quality food(we do a raw food diet), shots, micro chipping and health check ups, spending time one one one with each dog and providing a positive, happy home environment in which the dogs will thrive.  Our purchase price is $2500, which includes all of the quality requirements for a happy, healthy puppy who will be perfect for your family!

Puppy mills are a huge concern and many rescue dogs are taken from these -- you will not even know many times if you are purchasing a puppy mill dog if you buy a cheap dog online or one through a rescue organization.  You will not know the parents' health scores, background or temperament - all important to the health of a puppy.  You may save money up front, but can easily spend thousands trying to 'fix' or 'help' a dog that comes from such a poor breeder.

We have many customers who come to us after purchasing a doodle from a cheaper site or breeder.  Many of them have ended up with dogs that have affected their allergies or didn't have the 'doodle' look.  This is due to the dog favoring one side over the other (lab over poodle, for example) or poor breeding.   Many of these customers, sadly, have spent as much money in doctor bills for a lower quality dog as they could have spent in the first place purchasing one of our dogs.  In short, you get what you pay for.

 Australian labradoodles are bred doodle to doodle, and Emma's pedigree goes back for 8 generations of Australian labradoodle - which is why an Australian doodle you purchase from us will NOT affect your allergies, shed and will have conformity in look and temperament.   This is well worth the extra money you spend to know that your dog will be guaranteed and will be healthy and NOT kept in a kennel away from people. 

Our dogs are not cheap, but there is a reason for  this.  We spend money and time ensuring that we are breeding the best quality Australian labradoodles and that all of our dogs are well prepared to go to a new home, and especially comfortable around children.  They live in the house with us 24/7 and come on all of our outdoor adventures (we love to travel and camp!)  We offer a 2 year health guarantee and we have both parents living in our home as well.  We offer lifelong support and help with any questions that may come up over the years.  We stand behind our dogs and only sell the best Australian labradoodles, NOT the cheapest!!  In these tough times, we think it's more important to focus on quality over quantity, and that's one of the reasons we've stayed a small breeder and why we are able to spend so much time on the puppies and our dogs.  You will love the end result!
