Contact us if you would like to be considered as a care family for this gorgeous, sweet little chocolate girl!
Zena is extremely intelligent with a fabulously calm temperament. She is crate trained and sleeping through the night. Runs in and out of the dog door with ease. She is happy and playful and extremely loving. She has it all!
Care families must live within 20 miles of California Labradoodles. We live close to Stanford University.
Now is the time to get on our waitlist for one of our Spring puppies!
We are expecting both medium and miniature puppies in our upcoming winter litters.
Reds, apricots, caramel, cream and hopefully chocolates and/or blacks too.
Because we have had such large litters recently, we have successfully moved through our waitlist, which means we will very likely have puppies in our upcoming winter/spring litters if you get on our waitlist now, depending of course on the answers you give on your application. Please go to the adopting a puppy link and follow the instructions.
It is now possible to do everything online.
We look forward to the opportunity to place a puppy with your family!
SIERRA'S EIGHT MAGNIFICENT PUPPIES HAVE ARRIVED IN A RAINBOW OF COLORS!
Sierra's first litter far exceeded our expectations! Five girls and three boys.
Two caramel girls, two chocolate girls, a chocolate boy, and three phantoms.
It doesn't get any better than this!
Both Sierra and Cody epitomize the word "sweet" and "happy" and "calm" and "loving". We are very excited to see the personalities these two produce together, and can't wait to see these puppies grow up!

We are not a kennel, nor do we ever want to become one. The majority of our dogs live in loving guardian homes
We want each and every one of our puppies to live as cherished and adored family members!
We have two dogs that live with us all the time, and that's the way we like it. That way we have plenty of love to go around
and attention to give when our breeder pups come for a visit or to have their babies.
We are always looking for wonderful guardian homes for our potential breeder puppies and occassionally for an older breeding adult.

PEANUT IS NOW HAPPILY LIVING IN A GUARDIAN HOME
NALA IS NOW HAPPILY LIVING IN A GUARDIAN HOME PARAMOUR IS NOW HAPPILY LIVING IN A GUARDIAN HOME
MOOSE IS NOW HAPPILY LIVING IN A GUARDIAN HOME
The dogs and puppies pictured above were recently available to guardian homes. They have now all been placed, and are now happily living in their new homes. We expect to have more guardian puppies available in the June/July timeframe.
At what age can I start training my Australian Labradoodle puppy? Are they really as smart as everyone says they are?
The answer is YES! and please start their training RIGHT AWAY! Check out the video below (left) of our puppy California Nikolas, now Vinnie, at just 9 weeks of age! The video on the right highlights the progression of what Vinnie has learned by the time he is 11 months old. Australian Labradoodles are extremely intelligent. The more time you invest in their training early on, the better canine citizen you will live with!
Danny is a beautiful, sweet and oh so mellow little girl with a gorgeous red caramel fleece coat, and a calm, loving personality. She is a complete lovebug. Nothing makes her happier than to quietly snuggle up to the people she loves. Her little tail is constantly wagging and she gives the sweetest kisses. She is playful and fun and mellow all in one magnificent puppy. This puppy defines the word sweet. Delectable in every way! We are so in love with our newest little miniature Australian Labradoodle!
California Eva has captured all of our hearts with her sweet, mellow and adoring temperament!
She follows us around the house with her tail wagging a hundred miles an hour! She already knows to sit when we're in the kitchen and wait patiently for her treat. She loves to be cuddled and her favorite position is in one of our laps, sitting quiet as can be with her tail wagging as we pet her. She is full of joy and love and is sweeter than sweet. She came to Utah with us on vacation and didn't make a peep on the plane. She didn't have one accident in the house! She loves to run and frolic in the garden, running in and out of the doggy door with ease. She is oh so smart as well as sweet and beautiful!
Foxy is so beautiful, and will look much like her stunning mama Nectar...only slightly smaller we think! Her personality matches her stunning looks. She is confident, friendly, loving, wants to be in the center of things, sweet and mellow all in one unbelievably soft and cuddly puppy.
Gia is sweet, stunning and oh so smart. She already knows how to "fetch" and her two care family boys are keeping her busy racing after balls. She's got a fabulous dark red coat, perfect square conformation and nice boning, and best of all she is a loving, playful and adoring puppy! We expect she will mature to be a medium.
Our mission is to breed multigenerational
miniature and medium Australian Labradoodles of the highest quality.
We will always strive to breed puppies that embody the
Australian Labradoodles' inherent qualities and characteristics
in every way. Health and temperament will always be our
first and foremost consideration in selecting our breeding
stock. Our goal is to place
these special dogs in homes or therapy settings where they
will be loved and cherished companions. The Australian
Labradoodle is still a developing breed, and as such no
breeder can predict exactly what size our puppies will
be when they are fully grown.
We will do our best to breed responsibly
and with integrity. We will do this by carefully adhering
to breeding standards that have been set by those with
years of experience in the field. In conducting
our business, we will always put the interest of the Australian Labradoodle
at the center of everything we do. We also pledge to stand
behind you, our customers, and offer ongoing support. We
are doing this because we love the dog and we love the
breed.
Rosie (Tegan Park Emma's Royal Sunset) took
First Prize at the first ever Australian Labradoodle conformation
show held in Malibu, California on September 7th, 2006.
She won in the Open class for females over 18 months. Rosie
was also runner up in the Opposite class for Best in Show.
A conformation show is designed to evaluate
how well a dog conforms to the published breed standard.

Email is the fastest way to reach us. I usually
listen to phone messages after my kids and dogs have gone
to bed and will do my best to return your call the next
day. I answer every email and phone call personally so
please be patient with me! It can sometimes take me a few days to return phone calls and due to the number of inquiries we get, my message box can sometimes be full. I am very good about returning emails, usually the same day, so if you want a faster response, please email me at dana@californialabradoodles.us. Also please note that the quality of our phone service reception is inconsistent and sketchy, mostly due to the area we live in , and I can't always hear the messages, so don't assume I have gotten your phone message if you have left one. If you don't hear back from me, please send me an email. It is often easier to schedule a phone conversation with me via email.
We encourage you to come meet us and our
dogs at one of our doodle romps. Once you are on our waitlist,
we will happily schedule an appointment for you to come
and visit. We schedule visits between the hours of 11 am and 2 pm weekdays, by appointment only. We do not schedule visitors when we have brand new puppies. They have no immunities and it makes the new mommas uneasy to have people around their brand new puppies. Once the pups are a bit older, and mom’s hormones have settled down, we allow visitors as long as you follow our instructions to insure our puppies health and safety.
When you come to visit, you are visiting our home. We are not a kennel. We only have two dogs that live here with us. We believe every dog and puppy should grow up in a home of their own where they are a loved and adored and cherished family member.
We have found it to be very hard on our
family to have so many visitors. We get so many daily requests to "meet a labradoodle" that we found we had
time for little else. It takes time away from our dogs, pups and kids. Also, because the pups
live with us in our home, we need to be stringently clean
and careful that noone brings in any health hazards. If
we were to get something like parvovirus on our property,
the results would be devastating. We just aren't willing
to take that risk any longer. However, we totally understand that
you want to meet us and our dogs prior to getting a pup,
so we think the romps are the perfect answer!
Please know
that when you come to pick up your puppy, I will allocate
as much time as you need to visit with us and our dogs,
for you to get all your questions answered, and make sure
you are comfortable with caring for your new family member!
Another advantage for us of the romps, is
that we will invite all the families who have adopted puppies
from us. This will give us an opportunity to see our dogs
frequently as they grow up and stay in touch with our adopted
families, and give you a chance to meet many dogs we have
bred!
Our doodle romps have been a huge success! At our last romp, more than 60 labradoodles and their families came out to join in the fun!
We so enjoy seeing our puppies growing up and reuniting them with their parents and siblings. So many of the humans who adopt our puppies become good friends, and the romp is a big extended family reunion! We also enjoyed meeting many new families who were interested in adopting a labradoodle. I don't know who had more fun -the dogs or my sons and I!
For those of you who aren't familiar with the romp concept, this is a great way to meet lots of labradoodles we have bred and see every size and color all in one place. We invite everyone who has adopted a puppy from us, as well as anyone in the Bay Area who has a labradoodle to come join the fun! What is even more amazing that with as many dogs as we had there was no barking, no fighting, just a lot of tail wagging and puppies greeting old and new canine and human friends.
We will be looking for a new romp location next time around, we've outgrown the Seal Point Dog Park, so if anyone knows of a good spot please email me and let me know!
