Thank you for visiting our website!  We are proud to raise these wonderful puppies and dogs for you. Please browse through the website and see what we have to offer. You are sure to find some of the cutest puppies you have ever seen!  Whether you are looking for a puppy, or just curious about this lovely new breed, please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

I am a small breeder located in Iowa, currently breeding Australian Multigeneration Labradoodles, American Labradoodles, and rarely Goldendoodles.  I also have the occasional litter of Double Doodles, also known as North American Retrievers.   I breed F1b and multigeneration puppies. All of these usually make great options for someone looking for a shed free pet, or someone with allergies.  They have wonderful personalities and make great family pets, as well as top service and therapy dogs! Most Labradoodles and Goldendoodles from my program are non shedding and allergy friendly. My puppies come in all colors, including chocolate, black, cream, apricot, red, phantom and parti.  I have standard, medium and mini labradoodle puppies.

Raising healthy, well socialized pups is my top priority.  My parent dogs are health tested for hereditary diseases, and I provide a 2 year guarantee on my puppies. I am devoted to providing only top quality puppies, and stand behind them 100%.  Genetic soundness is key to the future of these wonderful dogs. So whether you are looking for a Labradoodle, Goldendoodle, or Australian Labradoodle, you have come to the right place!

Generations:

Australian Labradoodles are a mix of 3 breeds - Lab, Poodle and Cocker Spaniel, though in their distant ancestry there are other breeds that have a very minor influence on the Australian Labradoodle as we know it.  They may have a pedigree of Australian Labradoodle bred to another Australian Labradoodle, OR they may be Australian Labradoodle bred to a Cocker Spaniel, Cockapoo, Poodle, or early generation Labradoodle.  They have been breed for many generations to correct coats and set the standard for future generations.  New infusions of parent breeds continue to set the type and form. Australian Labradoodles are, as a general rule, more predictable in size and coat than the early generations. The are almost always non shedding, though throwbacks can occur. *note a Multigen Labradoodle does not neccessarily mean an Australian Labradoodle.  Multigen Labradoodles are simply any Labradoodle bred past 3 generations.  An Australian Labradoodle is descended from lines originating in Australia, or from the combination of the 3 main parent breeds, Labrador, Poodle, and Cocker Spaniel.  Often Australian Labradoodles are called Autralian Multigeneration Labradoodles.   The direction of my program in the future is focused mainly on Australian Labradoodles and stabilizing nice solidly built mini and medium lines of new and old bloodlines combined, refreshing the presence and influence of parent breeds other than just the poodle, while maintaining the wonderful coat, temperament, consistencey, and all around greatness of the Australian Labradoodle.

F1 Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle.  They are non shedding about 50% of the time or less. I do not breed F1 Labradoodles.

F1b Labradoodle is a cross between an F1 Labradoodle and a Poodle.  They are usually nonshedding. My F1b Labradoodles usually have wavy to curly coats, with a few straighter coats. 

F3 Labradoodle is a cross between two F1b Labradoodles. They are another step in the right direction in improving predictability of coat, size and temperament of the Labradoodle.  These litters should be non shedding. An F4 Labradoodle is the result of two F3 Labradoodles and so on.

North American Retriever (also being called Double Doodles) is a cross between a Labradoodle and a Goldendoodle. They are bred to be excellent family companions that should excell in therapy work and service areas as well. This is a fairly new cross, being done by only a few breeders at this point. There are a variety of coat types in the litter, most are non shedding. I will have 2nd generation North American Retrievers, but probably not any more first generation litters.

F1 Goldendoodles are a cross between Golden Retriever and  Poodle.  I am not currently breeding F1 Goldendoodles.
F1b Goldendoodles are a cross between an F1 Goldendoodle and a Poodle. My Goldendoodles have retired so I am no longer breeding F1b Goldendoodles.
F2 Goldendoodles are a cross between two F1 Goldendoodles. I am no longer breeding F2 Goldendoodles.

I am experienced in shipping puppies across the US, so don't let location deter you!  Please check our available puppies page to see what we have, as well as the upcoming litter page to see what is on the way!  Puppies will come up to date on all vaccinations, wormings, and properly socialized.  Some litters are spayed and neutered prior to leaving, though I do offer the occassional acceptional pup for sale as a breeding prospect to approved breeders.  It is important at these early stages of the breed development to keep the gene pool wide and open.

My adult breeding dogs are raised as family pets here or in guardian homes nearby, where they are loved and cared for as part of a family.  Occasionally I will keep back a pup from a litter, so that the parents can retire.  All of my girls are retired at a young age, so that they may enjoy relaxing at their forever home.
