We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare, and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It’s the best deal man has ever made. –M. Acklam
We are a couple of high school sweethearts who love doing things together.
We got married and lived for four years in Montana. There we started our family, having two children.
We then moved to Washington where we lived for 23 years. We had three more children, raising our total to five. We brought our children and a few spares up on a little piece of land where they could learn to work, have animals and explore. With that many children, we had a variety of animals, participated in 4-H and FFA, bands, orchestras, PTO, scouting and Church. We started and ran our own business.
With our youngest finishing high school, we took a jump and started a new adventure by moving to Oregon. We were able to find a piece of property to our suiting northeast of the capital city of Salem, in the beautiful Willamette Valley.
After raising five children and having numerous pets and activities going, we found a real hole in our life when the last one left the nest and we were in a new place. We then realized that maybe it was the time and the season for us to do something we have wanted to do, and that was to raise Labradoodles! We’ve raised other dogs, but it was always our children’s choice of breeds. Now it’s our turn! We did our research and purchased some F1 female Labradoodles, a female Lab, and a male poodle. And the fun began! In time, we also purchased some Australian labradoodles to add to our mix. The joke around our house is that we have replaced each or our children with a dog!
We are dedicated to producing a healthy, happy low- to no-shed dog. And we’re having fun doing it!
