Welcome!
Hello! I’m Melanie, an Accredited Breeder of the Australian Labradoodle Association and lover of authentic multigeneration Australian Labradoodles.
We focus on medium size, fleece coat Multi-generation Australian Labradoodles with calm & friendly dispositions. All of our breeding dogs have loving families and live out their lives as family pets. We place future breeding dogs in carefully selected guardian homes and that's where they stay for the duration of their lives.

About Us
I began breeding out of a genuine love for these gentle and clever companion and therapy dogs.
As a small family based breeder our 4 children help with socialising the puppies from birth. The puppies grow up in our home, on 5 acres on the outskirts of Sydney. We only have one or two litters at a time so we can give extra attention to deliberately socialising the pups, exposing them to new sounds and experiences each day they are with us. This gives them the best start to becoming well adjusted family companions when they go home at 8 weeks old.
All of our parent dogs are health tested with DNA tests to exclude breed specific hereditary diseases and are Hip and Elbow scored for dysplasia.
Our puppies are vet checked at 6 weeks of age. At this time I also do temperament assessments and match puppies with families according to their preferences.

About Australian Labradoodles
Australian Labradoodles are a breed in development. The approved Parent Breeds of the Australian Labradoodle are the Poodle (Standard, Miniature or Toy), Labrador Retriever and either American or English Cocker Spaniel. It's also possible for them to sometimes have Irish Water Spaniel or Curly Coat Retriever in their lines.
Multigeneration Australian Labradoodles have far more predictable characteristics, personality and coat than a first or second-generation Labrador/Poodle cross.
SIZE
Australian Labradoodles come in 3 sizes:
Mini 35cm - 42cm & 7kg-13kg
Medium: 43cm - 52cm & 13kg-20kg
Standard: 53cm - 63cm & 23kg-30kg
COAT
The Multigenerational Australian Labradoodle has a soft, wavy fleece coat which many people find to be allergy friendly and non-shedding. Their coat requires regular brushing and maintenance at home as well as professional grooming every 10 weeks or so. This can be expensive and it's worth researching groomers that are able to groom the Australian Labradoodle and get an idea on the cost before purchasing a pup.
TRAINING
Australian Labradoodles are intelligent dogs and training is essential. The effort you put in during their early months will pay dividends for the rest of their lives. They need stimulation and training or you may end up with a dog who is destructive, naughty or anxious. We recommend a good puppy school starting from 10 -12 weeks old and continuing into adulthood. Labradoodles are very social and need to meet people and other dogs in a positive setting regularly. Labradoodles generally love water and balls. They can be easily taught to retrieve a ball and bring it back to you. We recommend lots of walking, trips to the beach, dog parks and cafes and kids sporting events. Wherever you go, take your labradoodle with you, it is no fun for a dog to be always left at home and seeing the same old back yard.
We look for families who are going to commit to spending quality time with their dog and who want to training their dog. If you do not have the time to do this, then please do not apply for a Labradoodle.
WAITING LIST
If you are interested in purchasing a puppy or becoming a Guardian for a breeding dog (you must live in the Camden LGA, the Wollondilly LGA or close by) please fill in the contact form (tab above) with your details. I will email you with information about our available and upcoming litters. To reserve a puppy you need to place a $500 holding deposit. The deposit will be deducted from the balance which is to be paid once the puppy is 6 weeks old.
Please note-we will only refund your deposit we are unable to offer what you have requested on your enquiry form, Not for change of mind or because you have secured a puppy from another breeder.
When the puppies are 6 weeks old and after their vet checks we will allocate a puppy to you according to your preferences (as per the enquiry form) and the puppies temperament.
We wait until 6 weeks because it takes this long for their personalities and coat type to become evident.
Puppies go home at 8 weeks old.
If you are unable to pick your puppy up at 8 weeks old then you will be allocated to another litter.
HEALTH TESTING
Each of our breeding dogs are health tested to meed breeding standards. We can not absolutely guarantee that your dog will be free from disease because some diseases are not able to be tested for. We follow the strict guidelines of the Australian Labradoodle Association to protect the Australian Labradoodle breed and do do our utmost to provide sound, quality pets for their families.

We will exclude any dog from breeding if they have ongoing issues such as recurring ear infections, teeth issues or allergies.
Our goal is to give families the best pet possible.
Bespoke Australian Labradoodles offers a health guarantee - please contact us for more information. We also encourage buyers to take out pet insurance. While we do all we can to ensure we only breed with healthy & health tested dogs, some things are out of our control and live animals can present with unexpected issues.
TRANSPORT
If you require your puppy to be transported there will be an extra charge for this. We have a great relationship with transporters and can help book it for you. Our puppies are accustomed to crates and airport sounds well before they travel - all our travelling puppies have done really well with the experience so far.
MALE OR FEMALE
Males tend to grow to be the larger dogs in the litter. Temperament differences are not really linked to gender, in my experience. Individual temperament & training have a far greater impact on personality than gender.
Our pet puppies are subject to a desexing contract with Spay Secure & must be desexed by 8 months of age.
