Our current 3 week old puppies has mini and medium sized Australian Labadoodles available. They are various shades of chocolate, chalk (white), and caramel in color! These puppies are raised in our home and cared for and trained each day.

Australian Labradoodles are not just another dog. They are growing in popularity because they are non-shedding, allergy friendly, and good for people with asthma as well. They can be groomed as little as twice a year. The Australian Labradoodle is incredibly fast to train very intelligent, and make fantastic therapy dogs!
