About Discovery Tails Labradoodles

Welcome to Discovery Tails Labradoodles, family breeders of Australian Labradoodle Puppies.  We chose to breed Australian Labradoodles after careful research of the breed.  These Labradoodles are smart, friendly, mostly non-shedding, hypoallergenic.    We have never had a buyer say they were allergic.  Our family lives in the lush Pacific Northwest, on the Olympic Peninsula in Sequim Washington, 15 miles from Port Angeles and across from Victoria Canada.  It is only a 2 hour drive from King County or Seattle and a boat ride from Victoria BC Canada.    

We are a small and personal family breeder.   We have two Australian Labradoodles living in our home.  All dogs deserve a family so we place breeding dogs in guardian homes where the dog is theirs for life, but we have breeding rights.  We only have one or two litters in the house  one time so we can give them the care and attention they need.  The dogs and puppies live in our home and enjoy our fully fenced acre property.  Our doodles are constant companions and entertainment for our family. They receive care and attention from people of all ages and  sleep in our room.  They are happily crate-trained, but spend minimal time there, as we are at home most days.  Our dogs spend their days playing with each other and love their “tunnel”.    We walk them most every day where they meet neighborhood friends.   We do not breed high energy dogs.   Temperament is very important in our program.  

They only go into their kennels if they want to hide out.  We are not a kennel breeding operation and have no plans to become one.I have been training dogs for many years with positive training methods.  I am proud to say that I have never had an unruly dog after some training.  I believe in positive training methods with treats and praise.  Socialization is very important so they go to friends and offices to visit with as many humans as we can introduce them too.  The puppies will start socialization, training, and car rides at about 6 weeks old.

Our interest in Labradoodles began with having raised Labrador Retrievers in Alaska.   We have had 4 labs that  all passed on.  Two of them lived to be 16 years old which is practically unheard of in labradors.  After losing our last lab 6 years ago and wanting another one, I did NOT want the shedding.  So after careful research we came upon this breed.  I was very impressed with the Australian Labradoodle Association (ALAA).    I have recently joined the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association (WALA).  Both organizations  have  strict restrictions on breeding and a code of ethics that all breeders must in the associations must adhere to.  Inbreeding calculations are made to be sure there are no close relatives.   This will help  to maintain the integrity and health of the breed.  Our breeding dogs pass hip and eye tests, have an eye exam by an ophthalmologist veterinarian,  cardiac screening and some other DNA tests for diseases.     I encourage you to go to the website for more information. See my ALAA or WALA  webpage for further information.    

I also became a breeder because I love dogs and I love to train dogs!

Happy Doodling!
