About Kathy
I have always loved and lived with dogs. From my earliest childhood recollection of our little terrier, I have enjoyed a life blessed with dogs that I have loved and trained—I even belonged to Kennel Club in high school many years ago! When our wonderful German Shepherd Dog and Blue Heeler died of old age, I decided I was done with piles of dog hair in my house and all over my clothes and started my search for a low to non-shedding loving companion dog. That is when I discovered the amazing Australian Labradoodle breed.
What makes Kathy’s program special
I’m passionate about raising healthy, well-socialized, happy and gorgeous Australian Labradoodles, and I am proud to be a member of the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association where I serve on the Board of Directors. As an All Star Member Breeder, I adhere to the organization’s highest breeding standards. Our breeding dogs are fully tested, parents are carefully paired to complement each other in temperament and structure, and puppies are lovingly welcomed into our home and lives.

Why Kathy started breeding
It was my lifelong dream to raise puppies, and once my six children were grown, with the support of my husband, I knew the time was right to fulfill that goal. I started as a guardian for another breeder and after whelping and raising my first litter of puppies, I knew this was the life for me.
