About our Dogs
Summer
Summer is a petite Australian Bernedoodle, a puppy we kept from our very own Milo and Zoey. We love her apricot coloring with the white blaze on her face. She is FUN, she loves to run with the kids and is very loving. She has a great coat, doesn't shed and is very soft. Current weight is 36 pounds.
What is an Australian Labradoodle?
The short answer: an awesome dog! But seriously, Australian labradoodles were first bred in Australia by Wally Conron, while serving those with visual impairments in need of guide dogs. When allergies for a client became an issue, he bred the Labrador retriever with the Poodle. After several breedings, an allergy friendly coat was achieved. Tegan Park and Rutland Manor perfected this breed with the addition of the Irish Water Spaniel and American or English cocker spaniel lines. They added these lines to fine tune temperament and coat. Multiple generations make for the best coats, which means an Australian Labradoodle is bred with another Australian Labradoodle as opposed to breeding back to the purebred Lab or Poodle.

Zair
Black and Tan phantom Mini Poodle
Zair is our little buddy! He lives just a mile away from us with our brother and sister in law and their 3 little girls. He gets lots of hands on love from the girls! They love him so much. We are so excited to see mini pups from him. He has an excellent temperament and loves attention.
Our dogs are loved and interacted with by our 4 sons on a daily basis! They have free run of our acreage and are very healthy and well exercised. We couldn't ask for more as far as patience and companionship from them. Our family also interacts with the puppies daily as soon as it is safe for them to be handled.
