All of our parent dogs go through testing to minimise the risk of health problems to families. These problems can cost tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the dog and carries an emotional toil.

Each parent dog is DNA tested and undergoes temperament, hip, elbow and patella testing.

Tests our parent dogs undergo -

Pennhip Scoring to test the laxity of their hips

OFA Hips and Elbows scoring to rate the joint formation

Patella test a screening process that evaluates the health of a dog's kneecaps

Orivet DNA Blood test to ensure there are no genetic issues in the pup’s DNA.

From 3 days old our puppies experience very gentle handling exercises known as Early Neurological Stimulation as well as Early Scent introduction. We do this for 16 days as we have a precious window of time to greatly improve the lives of our dogs.

These activities introduce a little bit of stress and benefit the pup in these 5 ways -

1. improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)

2. Stronger heart beats

3. Stronger adrenal glands

4. More tolerance to stress

5. Greater resistance to disease

We raise our puppies in a loving family home while implementing a puppy development program​,​ that focuses on early exposure and an enrichment curriculum to produce well-tempered​,​ loving​,​ family dogs.

We place a huge emphasis on early exposure during the socialisation period (3-16 weeks.) The socialisation process only works once they have been exposed several times and have good experiences. These experiences when they are young can change their response to that event for the rest of their adult life. Whether we are hearing new sounds​,​ exploring new challenges or meeting new faces - each day is an adventure.

My goal is to get them to you resilient and seeking enrichment in all the things you would like to do or achieve with them.

Being Labradoodles​,​ we also ensure they have gentle exposure to bathing​,​ drying and grooming from a very young age.
