How our breeding program works
Our breeding dogs — our Guardians — are the pick of the litter, chosen most importantly for temperament, but also for the right aesthetic and genetic qualities. They only join our breeding program if they meet the health testing requirements set by the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association (WALA).
We understand how much our Guardian families love and miss their girls while they're with us for a breeding-related visit. We stay closely connected throughout — FaceTime and WhatsApp check-ins, photos, phone calls, and visits whenever possible — so no family feels out of the loop.
We're currently delighted to announce that Harmon will be next to have a litter of her own in our program. Harmon has a soft fleece coat and weighs 14kg; her sire is yet to be chosen. As responsible breeders, we only go ahead with a new litter once we have the appropriate interest and families ready.
We need our dogs to be loved family members, raised inside a real home — not kept in a kennel. That's what the Guardian Program is: a genuine family placement, with a small, clearly defined role in our breeding program.
Guardian dogs live with their family as any pet would, for almost all of their life. Because dogs occasionally need to attend breeding-related vet appointments with us, Guardian families need to live near Brisbane.
Our male (stud) guardians are occasionally required to leave their family for up to 2 days at a time, though this is uncommon — often studs simply visit and return home within a few hours. We cap this at a maximum of 6 times a year, and often arrange the visit and return ourselves.
Our female dogs have a maximum of three litters. Once a Guardian family's commitment to us is complete, she becomes your forever home pet. All Guardians are retired by age 5.
