About Labradoodles
Why a Labradoodle?
I researched the breed for 18 months and decided to import two breeders and two future breeders from Rutland Manor due to the quality and consistency of the pups. True Australian Labradoodle are 98% non-shedding & hypoallergenic with mild, playful temperaments. They do not have undercoats. The pups mature into easily trainable, loving family dogs who "play well" with grandma and grandbaby alike.
Early on I decided to remain true to the Australian Labradoodle. I found no need to breed the "American" Labradoodle, dogs infused with Poodles, Cockapoos or Spoodles (Poodle/Spaniel crosses). Why fiddle with what works.
Australian Labradoodles already have hypoallergenic, non-shedding coats, ideal temperaments and hybrid vigor--nothing to improve. "Expanding the gene pool" is an explanation you will find for introducing infusions. In my many years of breeding I have not found that to be an issue. I only buy breeding stock from reputable breeders with dissimilar lines. Plus, I do an inbreeding co-efficient for each intended breeding and do not breed pairs with scores above 5%. Guess I'm a wee old fashioned--if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I can be that way because I really am old.
Log Cabin's Philosophy
In prehistoric days I was a psychotherapist. I noticed early on in my practice that most of the people who came to see me could boil down their problem to one root cause--they felt they didn't matter. This could be in their family of origin, at work or in their marriages. Most situations.
Thus, when I branched into retail I made the "belief that people matter" the North Star of my Corporation. So it continued into dog breeding when I took "early retirement." Log Cabin Labradoodles honors the belief that all people, puppies and dogs truly matter. Following this North Star, customer service becomes customer empathy. And quality dog and puppy care become paramount.
Our canine family members eat five star dog food (Fromm Surf & Turf), run freely in our large fenced in backyard, and receive the best of the best vet care. Thank you Dr. DuBois. Our business has become a lovely way to live.
Retired breeders are never sold. Many stay with us and others are given free of charge to carefully selected families. I could never accept money for breeding dogs that have given us so much.
Australian Labradoodle Coats and Colors
There are three Labradoodle coats:
Fleece
-- airy and soft
-- can be wavy or curly
Wool
-- tight, wiry curls
Hair
-- smooth and straight like a Labrador's coat
-- some shed while others don't
There are a multitude of coat colors: black, blue, silver, chocolate, cafe, parchment, lavender, red, apricot, caramel, gold, chalk. Parti coats have become very popular. A parti coat is a minimum of 50% white with chocolate, black or red patches.

Excellent Family Dogs
Australian Labradoodles make wonderful family pets. Their loving natures and sweet dispositions fit into the heart of most families. Special needs children, including those with Autism, do very well with the breed.
Appetites and Exercise
Labradoodles savor their food, rarely, if ever, gulping down their dinners We free feed our dogs and they take bites here and there through the day. All our dogs are trim and healthy--never fat. This is not a a feeding option I recommend when housebreaking a puppy. Puppies need three meals a day served at established times.
Australian Labradoodles relish exercise. I believe a fenced in yard is the way to go. Be careful if you are in a part of the country that has snowy winters. You want a fence high enough so Bingo can't step over it and visit the City on snowy days.
Doodles love to walk on a leash. And walking your doodle daily promises good health and trim waists for you and your dog.
