How does a gal that has lived and breathed German, German Shepherd dogs, trained to a Schuzthund III and didn't think a second breed would ever be an option end up with Labradoodles? They are simply adorable that’s how. I had been raising llamas for 22 years and was at a llama sale with friends and we saw our first labradoodle. I was not so convinced about breeding an expensive "cross" and thought just getting a lab and a poodle would give you the type of dog we had seen. After researching the  "multi generation" Labradoodles I realized that the multi-genersaiton Australian Labradoodles were by far the best dogs and they were  just too appealing to resist. I knew from raising llamas and German Shepherd Dogs that if you start at the top you will always be at the top so the established Australian lines were the way to go.

I contacted Melinda Radus at Sunset Hills Labradoodles in Australia and found that it wasn’t so easy to find available pups. One day I got an email from her about Winter Rose who was supposed to go to the States but was now available, her photos were just what I had been searching for! As I was heading to Bolivia in October I had to wait until November for Rose to fly to Canada. My friend, Bev, and I drove to Calgary and picked up Rose in a snow storm. We had to stop at the Barking Lot to buy her a coat!

Beatrix joined us  from Massachusetts and Susanne Goodwin's labradoolde program at Berkshire Hills Labradoodles. Bea’s sire, Baby Joey was one of the loveliest chocolate labradoodles  that I had seen so Bea was a wonderful addition to our start here at Labradoodles by Design! Her four litters have been amazing chocolate beauties. We have two of her stellar daughters, Lucy Maud and Desiah, who will fill Bea's shoes and their first puppies have been wonderful and their families love them.

 These dogs just want to party! They keep me smiling and feeling like life just has to be great!

, Kathleen Kelly ( Sunsethills Sweet Sonnet) a wonderful cream girl and Sunsethills Ranger, an adorable chocolate male came from Sunset Hills in Australia. Kelly's first litter was exceptional and her son,Sawyer   was the sire of three of Lucy's puppies. We are looking forward to more from this combination.

Ranger is busy being Mr. Personality. His hips are ofa good and he looks super! He is avaialble for outside breedings. He has successfully sired 4 litters now, all adorabable puppies!

We have recently moved from Alberta to the shores of Nova Scotia!  We lived inLiverpool, Nova Scotia on the ocean for the last two years then moved to Blockhouse, Nova Scotia to a charming 200 year old farm! We have now settled in the lovely Annapolis Valley near Wolfville, Nova Scotia so come and visit and meet the labradoodles!

The puppies from Beatrix and Kelly are in wonderful homes . Check out the puppy page!  thank you to all our new labradoodle families.  Puppies are  in Ontario,  Newfoundland, New Brunswick,Alberta,  Mass, and  here in Nova Scotia and in the United Kingdon.


There are few Australian Labradoodle breeders from Ontario east to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island so our puppies will fill a need for labradoodles in this part of Atlantic Canada. We always invite families to meet the dogs here in Nova Scotia. The dogs love company!

We are now taking applications for our exciting spring 2012 litters! Kelly and Ranger, cream and chocolate minis and small mediums. Lucy and Sawyer, small standards, Desiah and Mack full standards. 21" and 50bs.
