We currently live in a small developing town in California, approximately 30 minutes outside of Sacramento. We never expected to take this "path", offering this wonderful breed, but after owning our own, and seeing first-hand the camaraderie they brought our children, in our excitement, we quickly transitioned to where we are today - nurturing and facilitating these quality HOME BRED and HOME RAISED pups for you to enjoy!

As mentioned, we have 6 children, all with Special Needs - five having Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorders, (hence the "ASD" in our name), and one child with ADHD/Sensory Dysfunction. Yes, they are genetically ours, so clearly the issue is the parents, us! We are no "sob story", and do not define ourselves by that at all. We do not allow our kids to use their disability as an excuse for not doing their best, being respectful, as well as being productive and successful. We live happily, and above all, with a sense of humor! Our dogs and pups have been invaluable to our kids progress as a whole, sense of responsibility, and especially their sense of unbiased camaraderie.

Quick disclaimer: Our kids are NOT always naked or half-naked as portrayed by some of the pix! - Because they have sensory issues, they strip their clothes off or swap into PJ's the minute we come into the house, and thus, the pix you might see. That is our story and we are stickin' to it! - We DO wear ALL articles of clothing in public, and pretend to have SOME class - REALLY!

So let's be honest - we must like chaos! Actually it is organized chaos , as I am the OCD mom with the label maker who keeps all in control per se, (well most of the time anyhow)! However, a shout-out to my husband who is typically the easy-going "Yes Dear" Dad that executes many of the outlandish plans I toss at him!

Before transitioning into this slice of our Labradoodle adventure, we did thousands of hours of research, and spoke to many of the most knowledgeable, successful, and quality Labradoodle Breeders in the business. Our goal was to maintain and create quality lines of Multigenerational Labradoodles, and to involve our children in the process and to be able to assist other families obtain their doggie comrade as well. We wanted to be different in some way than many other breeders who also offer this breed.

Our dogs AND pups are TRULY "Home Raised" in that they do live IN our home, or in the homes of our partner Guardian families as their pets, whereas many breeders' dogs reside OUT of their home in kennels, and occasionally, if ever, enter INTO their home. ALL of our dogs AND pups are raised, sleep, nurtured, and spend most of their time INSIDE homes as beloved pets. We could not do this without the great help of our wonderful Guardian families who only give the best to their fur babies as well! On the other hand, our dogs and puppies can and DO play and run outside, on and off during the day as well, (even going down the slide or into the kiddie pool), and come back in as they please for the most part. Therefore, they have the best of both worlds, and will come to you very socialized, well adjusted, and often with basic training! Most of all, they will come to you having been loved, and from well-adjusted parents who are beloved pets as well! - THAT is OUR difference!
