We are a small family breeder of quality Australian Labradoodles located in Stanwood, Washington.

We first became aware of the breed after our daughter was diagnosed with Epilepsy at 2 1/2 years old. With her initial diagnosis came a lot of fear and anxiety. Unsure of what the future held, we focused our energy on finding resources to help our child. We started researching services dogs and that naturally led us to the Australian Labradoodle.

​

Our original diagnosis was idiopathic epilepsy, doctors were able to control her seizures with medication, and we were told she would most likely outgrow her epilepsy. We dove into the world of breeding Australian Labradoodles first, as a possible aid to her epilepsy, and later because our entire family grew passionate for the breed. Unfortunately for all of us, when Dorothy would have an episode we would find ourselves back in the hospital. We did not need a dog to warn us of an oncoming seizure, because of their frequency and magnitude, the whole hospital was aware. This lasted for 8 1/2 years until our diagnosis changed. In the meantime, developing our breeding program was a magnificent distraction, and even though a service dog was no longer necessary, a therapy dog was. I had no idea how much I needed our dog Tru. Tru was a life preserver for me when I needed it most. She has been a joy, a constant comfort, entertainment, relaxation, and all around blessing.

​

We are thankful to say that 2 years ago our child underwent brain surgery, is off all medications, and has been seizure free ever since. God is so good!! We feel incredibly blessed for our families, our friends, our wonderful doctors and nurses and all of Seattle Children's hospital, and of course our wonderful dogs.

​

Through our dogs, we get to pass on the blessings!
