We are a small family kennel in Värmland, Sweden, breeding Mini–Medium Australian Labradoodles. Our dogs live with us, surrounded by forest and nature beside the Klarälven river, and our puppies grow up in the middle of family life.
What we aim for
Healthy, sociable puppies with a loving, people-oriented temperament that suits a family home. Our dogs have fleece or curly fleece coats, and we breed in the sizes mini, large mini and small medium.
Health testing
Before a dog is used for breeding, we test:
- Hips and elbows (assessed via SKK or OFA, and in some cases PennHIP)
- Patellas and shoulders
- Eyes, checked every 18 months
- DNA profile, usually with Embark (our older dogs were tested with Combibreed)
Only dogs that pass these tests are approved for breeding. Read more on our Health page.
Our dogs and how they live
- We keep the kennel small, so every dog gets enough time and attention.
- Our females retire after a maximum of four litters.
- Our dogs live in our home as part of the family, not in outdoor kennels.
- Some of our breeding dogs live with carefully chosen foster families.
- When we bring in a dog from another breeder, we have thought carefully beforehand about what that dog needs to offer our program, and we have discussed it in detail.
From mating to new home
- Choosing parents: we put a lot of thought into the best possible match, based on health, temperament and how well the two dogs fit together.
- The first weeks: puppies are born at home and weighed every day. From week 3 they are dewormed. After a few weeks we stop weighing every day and mainly follow how they are developing.
- Growing up: they get used to children, other pets and everyday sounds in a safe, homely environment.
- At 6 weeks: we take the puppies we are considering for our breeding program to the vet for a first check. From those who come out best, we select further, first on temperament, but of course we also look at color, coat and build.
- At 8 weeks: all puppies are checked by the vet. They are vaccinated, microchipped and have an EU passport, and then move to their new family.
- After they leave: you can reach us by email or by message/WhatsApp, and no question is a problem, not even the ones you think sound silly. We understand that this can help you feel safe.
WALA
We are an official Three Diamond Member of the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association (WALA), because we test more than the standard requires. For us, the better matched the parents are, the smaller the chance of health problems in their puppies.
