About Us

My name is Cheryl and

I LOVE DOGS (someone said if you make it all CAPS, it’s like yelling). After having a boxer-mix and our black lab, we learned that hair showed up everywhere. Slowly we began migrating the non-shedding dogs back into the home. I knew that my next dog was going to be a labradoodle.

One day I ran into a lady in a pet warehouse and she had a happy black puppy. I asked her if this was a Labradoodle and she said yes, an Australian Labradoodle. I told her that this was going to be my next dog and she reiterated, “make sure it’s an Australian Labradoodle”. I asked what did that mean? She said, “look it up”.  And so the research began and I’m so glad I did. I researched all the breeders in the country and spoke to several…some who were very transparent and some not as much. I learned so much in a few short weeks and knew all about this Australian Labradoodle. I knew the breeder I was going to have as my mentor, and who would provide me with my first two beautiful babies (Thank you Michelle Walker-Thomas from Waltzing Matilda’s Labradoodles). My decision of starting this business was reaffirmed when I was blessed with the opportunity to witness a litter of puppies being born (Thank you, Todd and Susan from Tails of the West).  It was the most amazing experience. I  learned so much about this amazing breed that I decided to begin this journey of breeding and sharing the joy!

We started doing this in 2015 and my husband and I moved to a nice size property in Queen Creek, Arizona, a suburb of Southeast Phoenix. My mom lives in a casita adjoined to our house and gives our 7 dogs all the spoiling a Nana can give. I have been blessed with some of the best guardians a breeder could ask for and have made long-time friends with them.  I still get visits from those dogs, if timing permits, when families go on vacations.   Because we started with so many of our foundation dogs at once, they were retired at once.  The economy in 2023-2024 didn’t help as we did not have any puppies during this time, therefore, we didn’t get final litters out of Addie and Quinn when we were planning on holding a female back from each.  Here we are in  2025 with only Blaze (from Quinn and Charlie) and she had 5 beautiful pups and one of them was a girl so we will continue on.   Blaze will have 1, maybe 2 more litters, then her little girl will continue from there.   For the next 2 years, only one litter a year.

We are not a Kennel and our dogs are not caged. They live in and around us, sleep in our beds, and are nearby wherever we happen to be.  We do crate them when we leave the house and puppies have started their crate training when they go home. Other than that, they have a warm home and big back yard that they love to run about.
