We breed Labradoodles with top-notch health attributes, along with excellent personalities and disposition.
We started our line using only AKC Registered dogs with certified health exams, ensuring their eyes, heart, and joints are in excellent condition. Why is this important? Because for the most part, physical and disposition attributes of dogs are passed directly to their offspring.
OUR LABRADOODLES: We specialize in breeding F1 and F1B Miniature Labradoodles. Our puppies come in rare colors of red, apricot and buff. (for a description and understanding of the different types of Labradoodles such as F1 or F1B, see the section below) Smiths Labradoodles are also unique in size, as smaller dogs make for great family and house pets. Our dogs are also hearty and athletic, yet small enough to cuddle. Our F1’s tend to be about 30 pounds and 17” high, while the F1B’s are even smaller at around 20 pounds and 14” high.
LABRADOODLE BASICS: Labradoodles were originally developed in Australia in the 1970’s. The intent was to breed a dog that had the wonderful, hearty disposition of the Labrador Retriever, combined with the brains and hair qualities of a Poodle. The result was a dog that is people friendly, very smart and trainable, with low to no shedding and dander attributes, making them ideal for people who struggle with dog allergies. Today the Labradoodle has become a cherished breed for all of those reasons. Labradoodles are not recognized by the AKC, as a breed must be in existence for at least 100 years to be considered by the AKC.(You can reach the AKC's website from our "Links" page) Smiths Labradoodles register their dogs through the CKC, or Continental Kennel Club, another organization established to set standards for breeding and maintaining healthy, quality dogs. Learn more about the CKC from our "Links" page.
