Down With Doodles began as a leap of faith during one of the most challenging times in our family’s life.
In 2020, everything changed when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. With four kids in school, a busy calendar of sports, and our oldest son Takai needing extra support and supervision, we had to rethink how to keep our family close and moving forward.
Working outside the home was not possible, so I started searching for something that would fit our family’s needs. As I learned more about ethical, hands-on dog breeding, it felt like a natural extension of our lives. We have always loved dogs, and our home has the space and warmth to give them the best possible start.
This venture is truly special because it allows Takai to play a central role.
His bond with our dogs is real and inspiring, and as he approached adulthood, giving him meaningful, daily purpose became more important than ever.
We chose Australian Labradoodles for their gentle nature, intelligence, and adaptability.
This breed checked every box for us and quickly became a source of joy. What began as a solution for our family has grown into something much greater. We feel called to raise dogs who bring healing, joy, and comfort to others.
As Down With Doodles has grown, so has our commitment to professionalism and the highest standards in breeding.
Our program is built on current best practices in canine genetics and welfare. Every pairing is carefully selected to produce puppies with sound structure, balanced temperament, and the hypoallergenic qualities that make Australian Labradoodles so sought after.
We work closely with veterinarians and breed specialists to ensure that each puppy receives thorough health checks, early socialization, and individualized care. Our approach includes structured enrichment, careful record-keeping, and a focus on both physical and emotional well-being for every dog in our program.
With years of hands-on experience and a dedication to ongoing education in canine health and behavior, we are proud to be a trusted source for Australian Labradoodle puppies. Our adoption process is transparent, supportive, and centered on lasting partnerships with every family who joins our community.
Today, my husband’s health is strong, our family is thriving, and Down With Doodles stands as both a family story and a professional breeding program. We are dedicated to raising well-socialized, healthy companions and providing lifelong support to our puppy families. Our goal is to set the standard for responsible, knowledgeable, and compassionate breeding—so every puppy we raise is one we are proud to send home.
