We are an ALAA (Australian Labradoodle Association of America) and WALA (Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association) accredited multigenerational Australian labradoodle breeder in Maryland, and we are very honored to work with our breed clubs. We only breed Australian Labradoodles. We are intentionally small, exclusive, and family-owned. It is our focus to protect the health and future of this breed. Our carefully planned program is dedicated to quality and never quantity. We have a limited number of litters a year and take great pride in breeding these outstanding family companions, for a therapy dog temperament and a teddy bear personality. They are intelligent, intuitive, allergy and asthma friendly, with non-shedding coats. They are affectionate, lovable and make devoted family members. Our website is always updated and we are happy to talk to you about our puppies and answer any questions you may have. The Cornerstone purchase process is explained in detail here.

- Puppies have started potty-training and crate training before they go to their new families to help with a smooth transition.
- Puppies are well socialized with children and other dogs, playing, romping and exposed to many different stimuli, so they are emotionally well adjusted.
- All puppies are vet checked, dewormed, vaccinated and microchipped.
- Puppies are placed with temperament testing to ensure the best match with each family.
- Our dogs live in our home or with our trusted guardian families, living their best lives. We are a designated Gold Paw Breeder by the Australian Labradoodle Association of America and the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association.

All of our breeding dogs are health tested and verified by the Orthopedic Foundation of America. Each dog has their hips and elbows, heart, and patella’s tested. Their eyes are also tested to the CERF standards for optimum health. We use Paw Print Genetics for all DNA and genetic testing on each dog. We test for PRA, DM, EIC, IC and vWD. These are the Australian Labradoodle complete panel for required testing. In addition, each dog will also have their DNA profiles run for positive identification. We meet the highest standard for health testing, receiving the GOLD and SILVER PAW award from the ALAA. All our dogs live in our home or with our trusted guardian families. They all achieve the Canine Good Citizen award by 18 months of age. They are our constant companions, well loved and living their best life as we think they should.
