F.A.Q.

Below you will find a list of questions we get asked most often. If you don’t find the information you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

What types of “doodles” do you have?

While there are many different types of “doodles” out there, we only breed Multigen Australian Labradoodles.  We do this because we feel that Multigen Australian Labradoodles offer our families the best choice when looking for a dog that:

  • Is an exceptional family dog with a wonderful temperament.  I like to say they are “family” dogs.  If the family is outside playing in the back yard, they will want to be in the middle of it.  But they are just as happy laying on the couch with their head in your lap.
  • Is Low to no shedding coats and is a very allergy friendly dog.
  • Has a Super friendly disposition that people instantly fall in love with.  They are great with kids and other pets.
  • Make the best therapy and service dogs because they are highly intelligent, caring, and easily trained.
  • Dallas Mini Australian Labradoodles are also available!
Where are your breeding dogs?

Our dogs all live in homes as family pets.  Our dogs do not live in kennels!  We believe that happy, healthy parents create healthy, happy puppies.  One of the keys to this is that all of our dogs live with our wonderful guardian families where they spend their entire life with the family that loves them, and they love in return.  Momma dogs come to us when they are about to give birth and the puppies are born in our home.

What sizes are there?

Multigen Australian Labradoodles come in three sizes.  Mini (15 to 30 pounds) Medium (30 to 45 pounds) and Standard (45 to 65 pounds) Almost all of our Dallas Australian Labradoodle puppies will be minis or mediums, although we do get an occasional small standard.

How do I reserve a puppy?

Fill out our contact form and let us know you are interested in one of our Dallas Australian Labradoodles!  We will help you choose the litter that is most likely to produce the pup you are looking for.  Once you choose a litter, we will send you the purchase agreement to fill out and return.  We will also send you the Venmo address for your deposit.  Once we have both of those things, you are all set! On the day the pups are ready to go home, those that have reserved a spot in that litter will then choose their puppy in the order their reservation was received. Whoever gets their reservation in first, gets the pick of the litter!

How much are your pups?

The fee to adopt one of our companion Dallas Australian Labradoodle puppies is $2,600 plus tax.  We request $500 as a non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot in a specific litter.  While the deposit is non-refundable, we want you to get a puppy you are thrilled with. If you are unable to get a puppy that meets your needs in the litter you have chosen, we will simply move your reservation to the future litter of your choice.

Can we visit the puppies before pick up day?

We wish this were possible, but we are unable to do visits of the puppies before they are ready to go to their homes.  There are several reasons for this, but the most important is that we take our responsibility to safeguard the health of our puppies very seriously.  When they are so young, they are at their most vulnerable and we just can’t take the chance of someone accidentally exposing them to a virus that could do serious harm to them.

For those that reserve a puppy, we send out weekly updates with pictures or videos so that they can see how the litter is developing and they can feel like they have been a part of their early lives.

Do you do early spay/neuter?

No.  In consultation with both of our veterinarians, we do not feel that it is in the best interest of the puppies to have them spayed or neutered before they go home.  All our puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract and must be spayed or neutered by the time they are 12 months old.

What is the difference between an F1, F1B, and a Multigen Australian Labradoodle?

F1: The term “F1” means “first generation”. This, in a Labradoodle is when you breed a purebred poodle to purebred Lab. The results tend to be mixed, because this is not the breeding of two dogs that resemble each other. F1 Labradoodles typically are moderate- to low-shedding and have a sparse-hair to fleece coat.

F1B: The “B” refers to a backcross — an F1 Labradoodle, bred (or backcrossed) to a purebred Poodle. Again, the results are mixed, as this is not the breeding of two “like” dogs. F1B Labradoodles typically are low- to non-shedding (or as much as any dog can be non-shedding) and often have a hair or fleece coat.

Australian Labradoodle: The Australian Labradoodle carries the DNA of the Labrador, Poodle, and Cocker Spaniel (American or English). The resulting offspring share characteristics.  An Australian Labradoodle can be created by crossing a Poodle to another Australian Labradoodle, a Cockapoo to a Labradoodle, a Labradoodle to a Cocker Spaniel and the like, resulting in the three-breed combination. Australian

Multigen Australian Labradoodle (Multigenerational): A Multigenerational (Multigen) Australian Labradoodle comes about from the breeding of one Australian Labradoodle to another. Multigen Australian Labradoodles typically have a non-shedding coat (as much as a dog can be non-shedding) if both parents are also non shedding.

Do you provide breeding dogs or stud services?

We are happy to provide both of these things for approved breeding programs.

What is the guardian home program?

We strongly desire that all our dogs live in caring and loving homes, and this applies to our breeding dogs as well.  This occasionally allows us the ability to give families one of our breeding dogs, free of charge, to live in their home as their cherished pet while still participating in our breeding program.  While we rarely have opportunities to participate, we do occasionally have a spot available for the right family.  So, please feel free to contact us if you’re interested, especially if you’re in the Dallas area!

Testimonials

We can not tell you how much we are enjoying little Lola! She is the sweetest, most amazing dog we could have ever wished for and we are completely in LOVE! The first night was probably the hardest as she cried  but she has quickly acclimated  and last night she didn’t cry once. Today marks the first day she has not had any “accidents” in the house! We are such proud parents!

She likes to play but  seems to really enjoy her naps. We are so happy how everything worked out and we were blessed with our little sweetie Lola.

Will keep in touch with more pics to follow! We may want to even add a sibling to our family!

Much Thanks,

J and S

We wanted to thank you for our new family member, Cooper. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect dog for our family. He plays well with other dogs and children, is energetic enough to play fetch and will curl up with us on the couch and take a nap when it is movie time.

It was a pleasure working with you guys through the process. From the initial meeting to the weekly picture updates to picking out and taking home our puppy. We’ve recommended you guys too many and will continue to do so in the future.

Thank you,

L and A

Hi Guys,

Bailey is 7 months old now and weighs 28 pounds.  Bailey is a total ROCK STAR when we bring her anywhere.  She is a people magnet.  Everyone wants to see her and pet her because she is so gorgeous!  And fluffy!  We lover her curly coat!  She is extremely smart…when she wants something and is definitely still in the hyper puppy stage!  Her forbidden love is socks and she will do just about anything for a piece of cheese.  The most important thing is that we love her so much.  She brings so much joy to our family!  We can love all over her…pet her…kiss her…and she wags her tail and licks us.  She is a good girl!  Still a hyper puppy that tries to get into everything, but a really good girl!

H.B.
