Labradoodle Puppies California

We are a small in-house breeder located in Monterey, CA specializing in breeding miniature to medium Australian labradoodles. We love labradoodles and try our best to breed for the betterment of the breed as a whole. We average two-three litters a year. This gives us the time and attention to give each litter and each puppy the love, time and attention it needs in order to be a well adjusted, highly socialized, and healthy member of your family for many years to come.

Our puppies are born in our kitchen and are handled from their first day. We not only guarantee genetic health, but our puppies' temperaments as we have very strict requirements for the temperaments of the breeding dogs in our program. Puppies are examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, spayed/neutered and micro chipped upon request. We also provide a life time of ongoing support to our puppy owners.

About Labradoodles

Australian Labradoodles are beautiful, healthy, allergy and asthma friendly. They were originally bred to be service dogs and not a 'designer' pet. The Labradoodle breed started with a request over twenty years ago by a blind woman wanting a guide dog that wouldn't bother the allergies of her husband. Since Labradors are easily trained due to their willingness to please and poodles are intelligent, non-shedding, hypo-allergenic, and asthma/allergy friendly. After some research and years of breeding by leading service dog breeders, Tegan Park and Rutland Manor in Australia, the Australian Labradoodle was born. Since labrador retrievers are easily trained due to their willingness to please and poodles are intelligent, non-shedding, hypo-allergenic and asthma/allergy friendly the crossing of these dogs was the perfect match. The result is a wonderful, allergy and asthma friendly dog and when bred with high standards, as we do, our top goal is excellent health, fantastic temperament and service qualities. I like to refer to them as having big dog personalities in a smaller, non-shedding package!

Just like any other breed that becomes popular, though, some breeders have started breeding for the popularity of these dogs and not for the benefit of the breed itself. So here's how to make sure you're getting the dog you want.

Researching For Your Labradoodle

Chances are, in your research, you'll come across terms like "Multi-Gen" (Labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle), "Early-Gen" or "F1" (Labradoodle Origin) and "Back Cross" or "F1B". Here are some helpful tips to understand what a breeder means when they are using these phrases.

The original multi-gen Australian Labradoodle, which is the original Labradoodle, has a foundation stock including 6 different parent breeds. These dogs were developed in Australian, and hence the "Australian" in the name of the dogs. The verified parent breeds by the ALA (Australian Labradoodle Association, Inc.) are: poodle (all three sizes), Labrador retriever, Irish water spaniel, curly coat retriever, American cocker spaniel and the English cocker spaniel. This was a breed that was developed with goals in mind for a low shedding service dog, not a designer dog.

The multi-gen Labradoodle has only poodle and lab in its heritage. It does not include the other parent breeds that were originally used by the creators of the breed. These have been primarily developed later in the U.S. and do not carry the Australian lines.

The early-gen F1 (Labradoodle origin) is a dog from a labrador/poodle mating that has not had the multiple generations of Labradoodle mated with another Labradoodle nor the addition of Australian Labradoodle foundation stock or multiple parent breeds. These dogs tend to shed their coat since they are more closely related to the Labrador and often have a wire hair look to them.

The "Back Cross" or "F1B" is a dog from an F1 (see above) mated back to a poodle usually for coat correction. These dogs have not had the multiple generations of Labradoodle mated with another Labradoodle nor the addition of Australian Labradoodle foundation stock or multiple parent breeds.

We may be small but that gives us the time and attention to handle and love each puppy during those first irreplaceable, valuable eight weeks of your puppy's life.
