Meet Our Doodles

Moonlit Acres Bowie, ALAA 098195

Bow is affectionate, super attentive, and a patient “watcher” of what goes on in our home. He is a “full bodied” experience for me, each time I settle down on the sofa. He is my personal 40 lb weighted fleecy blanket. Hot weather? No problem. Bow still has me covered. Our favorite of his unique behaviors; his vocalizations for a meal. He sings for his supper. Jose Carreras, perhaps? He has never shown dominance to the dozens of adult dogs who come and go from our home. Better yet; he is a cheerful “camp counselor” for the litters of pups, modeling desired behavior. You can meet Bow at our home when you visit his pups in June.

Seattle’s Smitten With Zozo, ALAA 099979

Zoey is eager to please and easy to please. If she were in the classroom, she would be the teachers’ dream. She is easy-going with other dogs, but doesn’t not make a fuss. Her favorite activity is to ride in the pick up truck with her guardian Mom and Dad. Her least favorite activity is thunderstorms, falling trees, and semi trucks with air breaks. No thank you! Her guardian folks include a retired Police Officer (Thank you for serving us!) who once planned to serve in the K-9 unit, but quickly learned he was allergic to the dogs used in the program. You can only imagine his excitement, years later, when he learned of Australian Labradoodles and visited Zozo’s litter multiple times to confirm her allergy-suitability.

Seattle’s Montana Hannah

Hanna’s Roger on his first Halloween. Roger is my first Labradoodle Grandbaby and lives in Beacon Hill

Hannah is easy going, relaxed, and quiet. She is a T.V. lover of any show that stars dogs or animals. Her current streaming favorite is the classic “All Creatures Great and Small” from BBC. What an attention span! Her favorite activity other than T.V. is eating. Being a nursing mother in our household is pretty heavenly, as we serve up the most delicious human/dog-food casseroles. Any menu option that a picky dog turns down, is a bonus to Hannah. Hannah wants the world to know that many human foods are also healthy for dogs, and we should recycle foods her way. Hannah does not have a pushy bone in her body, and fits right in with the relaxed pace of our household humans and dogs. Hannah accepts all things, bears all things. She is known in her guardian hometown of Colville as the lover of folks in the retirement home. She is a welcome visitor.

Seattle’s Snocream in Leavenworth

Seattle’s Golden Fields of Barley ALAA #080985, D.O.B. 8-14-2018

Barley lives the quintessential Inland Northwest life with her guardian family members in Spokane. Barley’s two human siblings are able to keep up with her and usually a few steps ahead, thanks to their super active parents who keep them hiking, camping, and exploring the Northwest. I had no idea how perfect they would be for Barley! Barley is just as affectionate as she is adventurous. When not wrangling her human kiddos or wriggling on her back for belly scratches, she watches birds as a hobby. She was found to be an outstanding Mama in 2021. Barley was featured in a Whitworth Today magazine about University employees and their pets.

Seattle’s Be Merry Mabel, ALAA-070793

Seattle's Chesterton Flash, ALAA #070637, D.O.B February 13, 2018

Seattle’s Finn, ALAA #070636, D.O.B. 5-05-17

In 2020 we welcomed Finn to our breeding program. He was visiting with us the first time we ever got to “take a dog to church” with us, on our first ever Zoom worship service. Who knew, on that day, that Zoom would be with us for oh so so long! I am grateful for it, and Finn was a perfect gentleman for the service. Finn was raised by me, here at Shedless in Seattle Labradoodles, and lives in West Seattle with his sweet guardian family, who has two of our Doodles. He is super ball-oriented, and oh so athletic. Finn is such an easy boy to have around. He has several generations of ancestors in our breeding program, and that is a joy to watch those wonderful temperaments continue one after another.

Seattle’s Snocream in Leavenworth

Hills West Denali, “Denali"

Hill’s West Denali is a stocky little fellow who came to us from our friend Tamara Marlin at Hills West Labradoodles in the Tri Cities of WA. He is cream colored, has a thick lovely coat and a large beaming nose; one of my favorite Australian Labradoodle traits. Denali lives with his guardian family of four in Sammamish WA. He is blessed to be part of a family of runners and hikers, and he keeps up with them every step of the way. He has a busy social schedule that every dog in the Northwest would envy.

I have been given glowing reviews about Denali and am grateful he is with us.

Seattle’s Timber Leaf

Timber is a super fellow who sired his first litter late 2018. After not seeing him for quite some time I was stunned when his guardian owners met me at a Green Lake cafe for an outdoor lunch. Among the many many dogs who hang out there, Timber was simply a standout; thanks to his guardian parents diligent training. Sometimes a stud dog will not be known for his keen sense of calm with the scent of many dogs around. But Timber had the demeanor of an elder statesman, and I was so proud! Gentle, calm, confident. Timber also had the blocky head of an English Lab. A blocky head and a large nose makes my heart happy. His structure was superior. Timber lives with his young family north of Seattle. They are considering breeding in the future and have chosen their first gal from Shedless in Seattle Labradoodles, Sperry. For now, Timber is her “big brother” and excellent role model.

Little Vander Wel

Now tell me, have you ever seen a more expensive face? Little Bear is a super wooly, super curly gal who reminds me of one of my favorite childhood book characters, Little Bear, by M. Sendak and E.H. Minarik. Raising her brought he warm fuzzies, and memories of reading on the lap of my Mom. But with her terrifically appealing temperament brought enthusiasm for every dog and human she met; an Australian Labradoodle trait that can simply go too far! But her guardian family of six slowly trained her to chill. She is now honestly one of the most easy going dogs I have had the pleasure of breeding. In my home with her first litter, she oozes calm. Running your fingers through her wooly coat is like going to yoga class. Little Bear would make a terrific visiting dog. And I am so grateful I kept her as a breeder. Her guardian family has two Shedless in Seattle Labradoodles.

Seattle's Dottie Dog

Dottie Bug is a beloved girl to us because she lived with us for most of her life before choosing her guardian owner. Dot was named after my aunt, Dorotha Grable, who I thought was the coolest Aunt ever because she lived in CA. That was a big deal for a KY girl to have a west coast Auntie. She was nicknamed “Bug” after my daughter, Ellie" Bug”. Our canine Dottie has an intensely passionate exuberance. She does everything with gusto. She stares into my eyes like I made the sun and the moon just for her. She presses her big snout under my neck and holds it there for as long as I will be still. Her snout has magical calming powers, which is interesting because nothing about Dottie shouts calm. Like I said, it is magical. Ahhhhh! Dottie lives in Woodinville WA. with her guardian when she is not attending classes at Whitworth University. She is a hit visiting campus. Her first litter was summer 2018 and pups are ready October ’18.

Legendary's Texas Mazzie ("Mazzie")

Tallulah of Sundance ("Tallulah")

Tallulah of Sundance Labradoodles in AZ is a little lump of love. I say lump because she is a compact build, who surprises you with her density when you pick her up. She is a highly affectionate lump of love, but also the most protective of her babes of all the Mama dogs I have loved. Day six since the birth of her little ones, and I am the only person who is allowed to touch her pups. Tallulah lives like a princess in her Seattle area home with her empty nester guardian family. She gets to live the Northwest RV life, going to the Oregon coast; a lovely life that we all aspire to, human and canine. One of my favorite “Tallulahisms” is the way she honks and grunts to speak to me. Tallulah has her very own language. In her first littler there were a few pups who shared her same language. I love to watch those genes passed down from one generation to the next. Tallula has a coat that does not mat as much as some Doodles, and is non shedding. It is fairly easy maintenance.

Touchdown Wilson (Wilson)

Seattle's "Pepsi"

Seattle's Handsome (“Cooper”)

Introducing, with exuberance, Seattle’s Handsome. Handsome is forty pounds of soft, sink your nose in, fabulous. Handsome is a medium, apricot, spiraling fleece Australian Labradoodle. His parents are Evergreen’s Bluebells for Seattle and Pacific Rim’s Rogue River. Handsome and his brother, My Best Buddy, had both been reserved as pets dogs but by the time they were ready to go home I knew that neutering would be a mistake! Both families were willing to work out arrangements with me for duplicates of little Handsome’s and little Buddie’s, for which I am very grateful. Handsome lives with his family in Redmond, Washington.

Bubblegum "Ginger"

Seattle's Sophia De La Creme ("Sophie")

Sophie is one of our few stunning chalk colored dogs. I am really fond of this color and will be excited to have a litter in 2016 with Sophie both because of her color and the genetics brought by her parents. Her Mother, Creme de la Creme Dolly is an incredibly calm and tolerant dog; a wonderful trait to perpetuate in the Australian Labradoodle breed. Dolly, Sophie’s Mom, was accepted into a service dog training program. Sophie’s Sire, Johann Bach is one of the most perfect temperaments I have known in an Australian Labradoodle, and the most perfect conformation as well. He went to work with his guardian daily in her home decor store and i got a steady flow of inquiries from his fans. Sophie lives with her guardian family of five in Silverdale. She gets along well with other dogs when she visits here, and has a pleasant and calm temperament, except when she is chewing her stuffed toys! That is her moment of high enthusiasm! We hope to see Sophie’s pups in summer 2016.

Seattle's Carolina Rain ("Carolina")

Carolina Rain is one of the best socialized and de-sensitized dogs I have had, as she is the only one of my breeding dogs who lives with a family including four children (indoors) and an ark load of other creatures (outdoors). Her family has pot bellied pigs, alpacas, llamas, and chickens. Her guardian family lives on a farm in Maple Valley. They are a crazy busy household. The last day I visited they had an alpaca due to give birth on that day, as well as the cross-country team expected that night for a pasta feed. The family has an F1 Labradoodle they had bred before I met them, named Dakota. The Zosel family cherished raising Dakota’s one litter of pups, but did not enjoy the selling, administrative, and business end of being breeders. They approached me in 2011 about being guardians and helping to raise that the litter of that Mama for me. They did a fabulous job, and we have had a wonderful friendship since. Carolina Rain had her first litter in 2014. See photo. Carolina has a very curly thick non-shedding coat. She is a total dear since she stopped chasing the chickens! I love her temperament, and she will offer multiple colors and lovely calm to our breeding program.

Seattle's Mt. Vernon Millie

Seattle’s Missy Baby (“Missy”)

Seattle’s Missy was named by her Guardian Forever Family. But I was thrilled with the name, as Missy Baby was the name of my first dog ever as an infant. My mother told that I used Missy Baby as my canine pillow for my first years of life. Missy the Labradoodle lives in Mt. Vernon WA with her family of three generations. She is the beloved companion of all three. She is the canine daughter of my former breeder, Evergreen’s Bluebells for Seattle and Evergreen’s Epic. Her sister, who is a breeder for Legendary Labradoodles in Plano TX, recently had her first litter of eleven. Missy came from a litter of 11 and gave birth her first litter of eleven on October 11, 2014. Missy is a hilarious girl, expressive and highly affectionate. She has curly fleece, very soft, and excellent for those with allergies. Missy is terrific with children and gets along superbly with other dogs. She has an unusual smile, reminiscent of my childhood Missy Baby. We have very much enjoyed having the third generation of this line here at Shedless in Seattle.

Aussie L’s Mr. Snuffleupagus Seattle (“Wrigley”)

A recent 2013 addition to our small family breeding program is Aussie L's Mr. Snuffleapagus. If you know where his name comes from, you may be dating yourself. I visited my friend Kari to choose a breeding dog, and was so enamored by the whole litter and the Mama that I came home with two; a male and female. Sister Bubblegum will be a Mama in 2015. Snuffleapagus sired his first litter in 2014 and we enjoyed a beautiful litter of eleven red and caramels. We expected medium 35 to 50 lb. pups around 18 to 20 inches, but we have one boy who is raising the bar with the possibility of maturing to a standard. Oops! Snuffleapagus sired both red and caramel pups. We are thrilled with his calm temperament. He is one of the calmest stud dogs I have ever met, or had the pleasure of having in our program. He lives with his guardian Forever family of seven in Bellevue. They call him Wrigley. He is very well stimulated and socialized.

Seattle's Russell ("Russell")

Seattle’s Russel was named after…..in unison now…..Russell Wilson. In fact the year 2014/2015 brought us three new Russells. This new boy is as beloved as our Seahawks star. He is gentle natured, amicable, warm, confident, graceful, and runs like the wind. His first litter was sired in 2015, and we look forward to little Russel’s for years to come. His favorite thing to do is visit the dog park since that is something a stud dog rarely gets to do. Russell lives in Lacey WA with his empty nester guardians, who are sports enthusiasts. I believe they are extremely proud of his athleticism. He has a deep red coat, which thankfully carried on in his first litter.

Moon's Harry Potter

Amber Waves of Grain (“Amber”) (Retired)

Amber Waves of Grain is a daughter of our sweet Wild Liberty, and Bocelli of Eden Valley Manor Labradoodles. Amber lives with her Forever Family of six on Whidbey Island, as well as her Mother, Liberty. Amber shares her Mother's zany love for life, high expressiveness, and non shedding coat (with an extra dose of relaxed silkiness). She enjoys jogging with her family, riding in the car, and digging in the back yard (I am brutally honest). Amber accompanies me on walks without a leash, and is very intuitive about my wishes. It is with great excitement that we welcome her first litter in Autumn of 2009.

Seattle's Bainbridge Island Ferry Annie (“Annie”) (Retired)

Annie was so named because she lives on Bainbridge Island with her forever family, the Balls. The ferry in her name is a tribute to the first Labradoodle our family ever laid eyes on. We were traveling from Seattle to Bainbridge via ferry when a handsome and stately standard Doodle came aboard. We inquired about the breed of this creature and thus began our odyssey with Doodles.

Annie lives a spoiled life with her large family of school-age siblings. Since Annie's dad is a camp director, she gets to hang out with him at the "office". Annie will deliver her first litter in Summer '09. As the sire is yet a mystery, we cannot give details of this exciting event quite yet. Annie has a soft, curly fleece non-shedding coat. She is a smart and trainable companion with a warm temperament.

Seattle's Bainbridge Island Ferry jasper (“jasper”) (Retired)

Seattle's Theo

Seattle's Bella Johansen (Bell of the Beach) (Retired)

Our Bell of the Beach is a family member at the Johansen household, on Fox Island. She is the youngest of her human family of seven. In a family of blonds, she stands out with her shiny raven coat. In a family of virtuous folks, she stands out at slightly naughty. She gets this from her Mama, (canine, that is) Pretty Precocious Piper. Bella's first litter is in the Autumn of 2013.

Seattle’s Fozzie Bear (“Ozzy”) (Retired)

Meet our recent sire, added in 2013. What a character! Fozzie has the temperament of a boy who just wants to have fun. He really really really loves everyone he meets. We plan to see his little ones in 2014. Fozzie lives on Whidbey Island with his human guardian parents, Gabby and Craig. They refer to him as Ozzy. Fozzie thinks the beach life suits him perfectly. He is their only little one, and has the life of a prince. No competition for this boy! The odds are in his favor with two people to throw a ball, and only one dog to fetch. Available for stud for knowledgeable responsible home breeders.

Tebow's Testimony (“Ossie”) (Retired)

We are happy to have Tebow on our team! He is the grandson to Seattle's Wild Liberty and exhibits some of her same highly expressive traits. Tebow is exuberant about his life with another Labradoodle, Charlie, and empty nester guardian parents in Redmond, Washington. Tebow's enthusiasm is contagious. His first litter is expected Spring 2014.

Bluebells for Seattle (“Bella”) (Retired)

Bluebells came to us from our dear friends Ann and Steve of Evergreen Manor Labradoodles. Bluebells is as gentle-natured and loving as the two of them. She lives with a guardian family of two school-age boys and their parents in Auburn, Washington. Her temperament would be perfect for a visiting or service dog if given the opportunity.

Seattle's California Callie (“Callie”) (Retired)

California Callie is a daughter of our beautiful Sunshine in Seattle. Callie lived with her forever family in Bellevue until they unexpectedly relocated to sunny Redondo Beach, California. Callie didn't give up her post as a breeding dog. She still blessed us with a litter of four sweet little ones despite her relocation. Callie has returned to the beach life but we are hopeful for a second long-distance litter in the fall of '09.

Callie has a curly fleece non-shedding coat. She is extremely affectionate and a joy to have around.

Seattle's Whidbey Island Chelsea (“Chelsea”)(Retired)

There is nothing as exciting to a dog breeder than to witness new generations from a beloved dog. Seattle's Bainbridge Island Chelsea is one of these. Her, Mom, Pretty Precocious Piper, is a retired breeder and our family pet. Piper a a goofy thing, and we have been waiting impatiently for little Piper repeats to arrive in the form of grandbabies. Chelsea is a sweet, loyal, and mellow girl who got all the Piper sweet but without the naughtiness! Chelsea has a soft spiraling fleece coat, non -shedding, and a wise choice for those with dog allergies. Chelsea lives with her human Mom and cats on Whidbey Island. She has beautiful mothering instincts, birthing her first puppies in January 2013.

Waltzing Matilda's Creme de la Creme (“Dolly”) (Retired)

I toyed with they idea of having Waltzing Matilda's Creme de la Creme join our breeding program after seeing her eight-week-old pictures, and hearing her breeder, Michelle, describe her. "Gentle natured, intuitive, affectionate" she beamed about this little Australian Labradoodle girl. As a breeder, we are sometimes guilty of wanting every lovely pup we run across. "Self control" I said to myself. I waited … at sixteen weeks of age Creme de la Creme had her preliminary testing, and then I was sold. She joined our family briefly to get acquainted, and settled in with her doting Labradoodle Enthusiast family in Maple Valley. Her human parents are empty nesters, and this gal, who they call Dolly, and her sidekick Labradoodle, Tura are raised with incredible tender loving care. We are grateful to have them be part of our Forever Family (Guardian) Program. We hope to have Creme De La Creme's first litter available in 2012.

We are awaiting test results for the newest addition to our breeding program.

Creme De La Creme Dolly's Autumn 2013 litter have joined their new owners.
Her next litter of medium, wavy- fleece cream colored puppies will be available in Autumn 2014.

Bedrock's Miss Effie (“Effie”) (Retired)

Miss Effie came to us from our friend Maggie at Bedrock Labradoodles in Oregon. She is a second generation American Labradoodle (F2) with an intuitive, warm temperament. She is so forbearing with her human toddler sibling, Maggie. Her pups will be Multigenerational American Labradoodles. She is built exactly like a Lab, a trait I really seek for my Labradoodle lines. Her hip scores are outstanding—90th percentile! Her pups will have a very soft spiraling fleece, low/non-shedding coats. This coat is an excellent choice for families dealing with a dog allergy.

Seattle's Bainbridge Island Greta (“Greta”) (Retired)

Seattle's Liberty Belle (“Belle”) (Retired)

Liberty Belle could be the poster dog for the ideal temperament of a Labradoodle. Clown-like, joyful, intuitive, fun-loving. She is the most expressive dog I have ever known. She "talks", spanning an entire octave. Belle lives in Issaquah with her Forever Family, pictured here. Belle has the type of non-shedding curly wool coat that is the easiest to groom; can be scissored at home. I love her block Lab boning. Belle is a sister to Amber Waves of Grain and daughter to Wild Liberty.

Seattle's Lucy Lu Lu (“Lucy”) (Retired)

Mountain View's Merry Millie (“Millie”) (Retired)

Millie was recruited to join Shedless in Seattle Labradoodles at eight weeks of age. We chose her from Mountain View Labradoodles because we love her sire, Legend. Millie's name fits her perfectly, if you remember the cheerful Millie from the Andy Griffith Show. She is so chipper from dawn to dusk. Aside from her A+ temperament, she sports an A+ coat. She is one of those gals who always has "good hair days." Millie lives with this precious family in Auburn, WA. Millie's first litter is expected in Summer 2011.

Seattle’s Mount Vernon Millie

Mt. Vernon Millie lives with her Canine Mom, Missy Baby, in their guardian home in Mt. Vernon WA. I have loved getting to know this large multi generation family as they have raised two generations of Mama’s for me. Millie is absolutely gorgeous with her soft red coat from Sire Mr. Snuffleupagus. Millie graduated from puppy training with a robe and cap. We are happy to expect her first litter in 2017. Her Mother, Missy Baby, has the English Lab temperament of calm, calm, calm.

Seattle's Oh Me Oh My (“Maya”) (Retired)

Maya, as called by her forever family, is a regal lady. Maya sailed through her initial obedience class and was recommended for agility. Her obedience training continued at home, where her family cleverly taught her to play hide and seek and to sprint through the house on command. She loves to please and be given directions. Her trainer noted that Maya has the temperament of a service dog.

Maya lives with her forever family in Bonney Lake, WA. Her family homeschools, which gives them ample time to include Maya in daily routines. As part of the homeschooling science curriculum, her family requested the honor of birthing and raising her first litter in their home. This is an unusual arrangement, but given that both parents are physicians, I felt confidence that Maya and pups would be incredibly well cared for, even in an emergency setting. Maya's family has graciously served as nannies to our litters here in our home when we travel as well as attending several births. We are excited about their highly capable service.

Maya has plenty of experience as an auntie, as she regularly puppysits for our puppies and litters when we are out of town. She is patient and welcoming to her canine charges and companions.

Aussie L's Practically Perfect Paisley (“Paisley”) (Retired)

Seattle's Pretty Precocious Piper (“Piper”) (Retired)

How to describe our pretty, precocious Piper? Maria from The Sound of Music? Mary Poppins? Tigger from Winnie the Pooh? Piper carries more joy in her tail than most dogs do in their entire body. Much to her delight, Piper lives in a Forever Family (guardians) who hike energetically and often. It was difficult for us to let her leave our nest, but this family is her dream come true. Almost two years old, Piper has retained her deep dark chocolate coloring and loose, loopy curls.

Seattle's Spotty Polly (Retired)

Little Black Raincloud (“Rainy”) (Retired)

Rainy is now retired from breeding and lives with the Benson family in Vancouver, WA.

Rainy is docile, cheerful, and desires nothing more than abundant companionship and maximum skin contact. She is not content just to sit on the sofa - she perches on the back so she can wrap her body across your shoulders and tuck her head under your chin. She will cause an owner to beam as she waddles with excitement each time you walk into the room. Rainy is a nature lover. She will bask in the sunshine watching birds and even deer without excitement. If she were in politics, she would be Laura Bush. If she were a book author, she would be Laura Ingles Wilder. If she were an athlete, she would be a hiker.

Rainy joined us from Mountain View Labradoodles in Sisters, Oregon. Her breeder, Terrie, is such a joy to work with. Rainy, who will whelp F1B puppies, brings fresh bloodlines and particularly strong hips to the Labradoodle gene pool.

Sunshine in Seattle (“Sunshine”) (Retired)

Sunshine is now retired from breeding and reigns supreme in our own household.

Sunshine is not only beautiful; she is confident, graceful and poised. She most enjoys catching a tennis ball or playing fetch. If she were a politician she would be Hillary Clinton. If she were a movie star; Marilyn Monroe. If she were an athlete, she would probably be a figure skater. She is eager to please her human family and determined in leading her canine family. She will happily take commands from adults and children alike. She enjoys jumping on the trampoline with children and dogs as well as jogging with our family. We must confess that she also enjoys television. Don't be concerned...we carefully monitor her viewing and try to stick with Animal Planet and PBS. We have been amazed by her intelligence. Petting her is like eating chips - you just can't get enough. Sunshine, a Multi-Generational Labradoodle, came to us from Spring Creek Labradoodles in Eugene, Oregon. Waiting for her was a learning experience as her breeder, Rochelle Sundholm, carefully chose her for our program. Rochelle has such a wealth of knowledge and is a backbone to the Labradoodle breeding community. We are so grateful to Rochelle for her dedication to the future of this breed. Sunshine's roots are both Tegan Park and Rutland Manor. She is non-shedding and has a thick, wavy fleece coat.

Seattle's Tess of Rainwater Farm (“Tessy”) (Retired)

Tessie, although having a rather proper name, is actually a farm girl and adventure girl extraordinaire. She lives one mile from us on a gentleman's sheep farm. Her friends include sheep, doves, chickens, and a very naughty rooster. Her best chum is a squirrel, hand-raised on a bottle. In fact, when Tessie nursed her first litter of puppies, the squirrel was allowed to nurse right alongside. Tessie lives a much more interesting life than I; she has custom doggy goggles for four-wheeling trips in the mountains. On weekends she travels with her guardian parents, the Rainwaters, to their mountain retreat or their island getaway.

Tessie hails from our own Little Black Raincloud and Maestro Verdi of Tuscan Ridge Labradoodles. She stands 15 inches tall and 18 pounds of red, silky, springy, non-shedding fluff. Her first litter gave us two beautiful and rare phantom sable puppies. The male pup, My Best Buddy, is pictured here along with Tess.

Seattle's Wild Liberty (“Liberty”) (Retired)

Liberty is a rascal of a gal, who is bursting with enthusiasm for life. She lives with a family of four children in Oak Harbor and follows their every move. As a homeschooling family, they have had the flexibility to be very involved during her birthing of puppies. They enjoyed the forever family program and Liberty's addition to their family so much that they requested a second dog from her first litter. Amber, Liberty's daughter, will hopefully join us as a breeder in 2009 pending completion of health testing.

Liberty's expressive almond shaped eyes and clown-like nose are some of her heartwarming features. She has a dense non-shedding coat. The combination of wool and fleece keeps her from matting. Her springy, curly coat is addictive to the touch.

Liberty joined us from Mountain View Labradoodles in Bend, Oregon, where she was tenderly whelped and raised in a bedroom from birth to eight weeks. When she joined Seattle Labradoodles we enjoyed her enthusiasm and her ability to "play well" with other dogs. After becoming acquainted with our family and dogs, she joined her guardian family where she lives until time to be a mom. Currently three of Liberty's puppies are hopeful future breeders both with Shedless in Seattle Labradoodles and a new breeder in Phoenix. One of Liberty's puppies was recently recruited as a professional model in Miami. We are excited to see his print debut!

Annie's Seaside Maimie (“Maimie”) (Retired)

Annie's Seaside Maimie is a calm, gentle soul, just the perfect companion for the rainy Pacific Northwest, "snuggle in front of the fire" type days. Maimie is a super companion for her guardians in Graham, Washington and their sweet family. Her lines go back four generations on her mother's side, to one of our original Labradoodles, Little Black Raincloud (Rainy). Her first litter is expected Spring 2014.

Mill Creek's Johannn Bach (“JJ Bear”) (Retired)

In the summer of 2011 I traveled to Atlanta to meet Mr. JJ. Bear. My co-owner for this stud, Tamara at Hills West Labradoodles, raved about his conformation and pedigree, but I needed to meet this fellow in person (or in canine). I reported back to her on the spot, "He is more incredible in the flesh (or in the fleece) than on paper". This boy was what I call an A+ Stud.

Soon he had joined us here in Sammamish, on the Eastside of Seattle, WA. His guardian family, the Nakatsus, had a Labradoodle from one of my first litters in 2006. They fell in love with JJ Bear while here visiting, and wanted to bring him into their family. He is impressive: he can walk off-leash better than any dog I have ever seen. JJ Bear goes to work with his guardian owner, Sandy Nakatsu, at her furniture store Diggs & Dwellings in Redmond, WA. If you are interested in meeting an Australian Labradoodle, you are invited to visit him at the store. Call ahead to be sure he is working that day. JJ Bear has sired multiple litters in 2012.

Sunset Hills Red Chipotle (Retired)

Sunset Hills Red Chipotle arrived from Australia in Spring 2009. Chip is a medium/small standard, soft wool, non-shedding Australian Labradoodle. Chip carries red and chocolate. He lives with and is co-owned by the Schaffs of Mountain View Labradoodles, Bend, Oregon. Chip is shared with Mountainview Labradoodles, and Bedrock Labradoodles, both in Oregon. His services are available for trade and hire to approved breeders. Please contact the appropriate breeder for trade, or contact Maggie Palmblad to hire his services.

Seattle's Starbucks Stud (“Yogi Santerelli”) (Retired)

Carries brown (eeBb)

Seattle's Starbucks Stud has an enthusiastic work ethic.

Skill Set: Was the proud papa of three litters. Starbucks excelled in natural breeding and is also available via fresh AI or frozen. In select cases he may travel to you and your gal for courting and R&R.

Starbucks is a stocky sturdy fellow, whose Labrador-like build complements the slender build of so many Labradoodles. These pups are stunning. While visiting with an owner and one of these pups outside Starbucks recently, no less than three people stopped us in 30 minutes to remark on her pup. He is a walking billboard. Thank you Starbucks!

Evergreen's Epic (“Archie”) (Retired)

Epic Joined us in summer of 2011 from our dear friends Steve and Ann Green at Evergreen Manor Labradoodles south of Portland. He was scooped up immediately by a family who was waiting to be a Guardian for a male. They had no idea how their life would change. Epic, who they call Archie, goes everywhere they go including the Oregon Coast, the Cascade Mountains of Washington, and in their day to day life out and about the University District of Seattle. His parents feel like they are touring with a rock star with the number of requests they get about him. No more privacy for Judy and John. They say life with this dog is almost as much fun as being a grandparent!

Epic is very fun loving and gregarious, curious and energetic. He is very soft, Non-shedding, and red, hence their calling him Archie. He sired his first litters for us in Summer of 2012, and we are delighted with his offspring. Below is a photo of his litter with Evergreen's Bluebells. His services as sire will be considered for conscientious breeders upon request.

Seattle's Limited Edition Chester (“Chester”) (Retired)

Limited Edition Chester is so named because we will have only three litters with this fun-loving fellow. Chester was sold as a pet puppy; however, before he left us, I began to regret not having kept him as a future sire. I was crazy about his loyal and warm temperament. I decided to inquire of his family if they would allow him a brief breeding career before having him neutered. Thankfully they agreed and Chester passed his health testing. He was able to sire two litters due April 2009, as well as putting one litter of future Chesterlings into storage.
