We love the Australian Labradoodle and wish
to make our contribution to the growth and development of this breed. We have a very small
breeding program and our aim is to provide a few, loved labradoodle puppies that will be healthy
family pets.
To make sure our labradoodle dogs are of the highest quality we do health
testing of both parents. Our dogs are all registered with the International Labradoodle
Association.
We stimulate newborn puppies to ensure optimum
neurological growth using the Bio Sensor program developed by the US military for their working
dogs.
We have also begun to use Tellington Touch to calm and connect with
our labradoodle puppies as they grow and make their way in the world. Our puppies go to puppy
play groups with professional Dog Trainer, Kathy Novokshonoff where they meet other dogs,
large and small. They also participate in a regular children's puppy play morning. We want
every puppy to grow up to be a happy, well socialized dog.

 This is Emily, Lilyanna's puppy who travelled to Kentucky to be with
Haven. We think they are both extraordinarily beautiful. | A
LETTER FROM A LILYANNA PUPPY'S FAMILY... Emily is such a joyful addition to our family.
She is the sweetest, most loving animal I've ever known. My daughter Haven adores her. Emily is
truly a therapy dog without ever being trained to do so. It is just her nature. She goes
through the tunnels during Haven's therapy, gets on the swings, and goes to all the other
children and loves hem. Haven decides if it's ok for Emily, it's ok for her. Emily somehow seems
to know exactly what Haven needs even when people around her don't. So I thank you for our
blessing. Lilyanna's puppy page. Look how busy and grown up
we are. |

 | PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED PUPPIES AT OVER THE
MOON. We are lucky to have Professional Dog trainer Kathy
Novokshonoff who is available to take a puppy into her home for a month of training. The puppies
leave Kathy's home potty trained, leash trained and with beautiful social skills. This is a unique opportunity for families of a new puppy. The families who
have puppies trained by Kathy were filled with praise for her program. |

The Australian Labradoodle is the result of careful selection
in order to make a better service dog for people with disabilities as well as a dog that could
be a fine family companion for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. In the Australian
Labradoodle the best qualities of the lab, devotion and patience, are now coupled with the high
intelligence and non-shedding qualities of the poodle. But the development of the Doodle we have
come to know was not, as with any truly good thing, that simple.
All domestic dogs are a result of human selection. Every breed of dog began as a pair
of animals selectively bred for their unique qualities. The ancestors of our domestic pets hung
out around the human settlements hoping to find a few leftovers from the table. The dogs that
were the most friendly were the ones invited to stay for dinner; the unfriendly were left
behind. It is these friendly animals that are the ancestors of all the dogs we love today. From
these early meetings of dogs and humans certain breeds were established in various parts of the
world. The wealthy developed large, hunting breeds. The poor, who were not allowed to hunt,
developed the terriers. These little dogs were bred to rid buildings of vermin. This is why they
possess a ferocious tenacity.

With changing times people make different demands on their canine companions. To this end
people have carefully crossed one dog breed with another to produce a desired result. The dogs
that we now know as a 'pure bred' have all been the result of this interbreeding to find the
perfect dog for the job at hand. Eventually within this new breed you must have dogs who conform
to one standard.

The Australian Labradoodle is often mistaken for a Labrador Retriever Poodle
Cross. It is not. The Australian Labradoodle is a new and distinct breed of dog.
The people of Tegan Park Research Center in Australia took up the challenge of developing a
highly intelligent dog that was allergy friendly and bred exclusively to be a companion. They
eventually developed the Australian Labradoodle who, like most every other recognized breed has
been developed with a foundation of more than two types of dogs.
The Australian
Labradoodle had a rocket ship ride to fame. People loved the look, the temperament and the sense
of humor of this delightful dog. Of course, fame, as any movie star will tell you, is not always
a blessing. Breeders began to cross poodles with labs and call them Labradoodles. Others
realized the gifts the poodle can bring to any mating and now there is hardly a type of dog not
bred with a poodle.
Some of the results of this breeding are charming, others are
not as wonderful, but the Australian Labradoodle is the doodle that became justifiably famous
for the temperament and the hypoallergenic qualities so highly prized by families today.

Every breed comes about by crossing various breeds together to
obtain a desired result. The little Yorkshire terrier traces his ancestry back to the Waterside
Terrier, who has in his family tree the Manchester, Paisley and Clydesdale Terriers who are
closely related to the modern Skye Terrier. Although we can still find Paisleys and Clydesdales
today we certainly don't call our beloved Yorkie a Paisley Clydesdale cross.

People have never stopped developing breeds. In
2001 the American Kennel Club accepted six new breeds. One of these new accepted breeds is the
Black Russian Terrier. This dog began to be developed in the 1930's as a guard dog by the Army
in the USSR. They wanted a tough, courageous, all-around military dog that could withstand
Russia's harsh climate. The foundation dogs were Rottweilers, Giant Schnauzers, and Airedale
Terriers carefully-selected for stable temperament, athletic ability, and stamina. Offspring of
the initial breedings of Rottweilers to Giant Schnauzers and Giant Schnauzers to Airedales were
bred to each other, and the resulting breed standardized in the 1956. The AKC is very careful
about the breed standard and it took until 2001 for the Black Russian to be recognized and so
for fifty years the Black Russian Terrier waited for recognition.
In his fifty
years of waiting in the wings the Black Russian did not receive a tenth of the notoriety of the
Australian Labradoodle has had in his few short years. Certainly the Internet and the media
contributed to his instant notoriety but the Australian Labradoodle himself had a part to play
in his sky rocket to fame.. This happy and friendly long coated dog that is proving to be hypo
allergenic for so many allergy and asthma sufferers, arrived at the time when there was a need
for a family companion who would not shed a mountain of fur on the chesterfield. He was not bred
to guard and so is an easy-going chap. He is playful and so loves children. He adapts with equal
ease to a down town apartment or to the country life.

At the beginning one man, Wally
Conran of Australia decided to fill the need of one lady. She required a guide dog that she
wasn't allergic to. The beginning was a simple cross of a Standard Poodle and a Labrador
Retriever. The results were not predictable and Mr. Conran stopped his breeding program. The
people of Tegan Park and Rutland Manor of Australia took up the challenge of developing a dog
that would be a hypo allergenic companion and service dog. Our dogs are directly descended from
these two research breeders.
Now the Australian Labradoodle has been invited to prepare for recognition by the Australian
Kennel Club.
