Our Labradoodle and Aussiedoodle Breeding Program

F1B Labradoodle from Tippy

My name is Barbara Dearaujo and Dreamydoodle NW is a family run Poodle Hybrid breeding program… We breed EXCEPTIONAL F1B Labradoodles and F1 Aussiedoodles. We have 3 wonderful children who help us to socialize our puppies and having these amazing dogs in our home has really brought our whole family closer together.

My number one goal when I started our breeding program was to breed the very best and when I started my LONG search for the very best breeding dogs I could find.. I sought out a smaller sized Standard poodle because my other breeding goal was to produce a smaller sized Doodle but not a mini.. more like a medium size… I had seen how HUGE the Standards could actually get and I knew that most families..would want more of manageable sized dog (not a small pony) and if they were anything like my family they were not interested in a mini dog.. they wanted a dog’s dog.. not a yappy lap dog. So, I FINALLY found our beautiful small Standard Poodle “Daisy” in Indiana and I shipped her here when she was 6 months old. She was a perfect size and her temperament was submissive and loving and exactly what I was looking for to begin our breeding program.

Someday I’ll write out the whole story about how I started and the important lessons I learned as a breeder but I’m pretty sure it would bore most people.. your most likely just here to see our puppies and learn about our program today so I won’t bore you with all the history.. but I can say that TODAY I am so proud of the breeding program we as a family have created and I have faith in the bloodline that we have developed. We currently produce exceptional F1B Generation Labradoodles from Daisy’s daughters and granddaughters and now we have started our Aussiedoodle program as well.

Daisy really started it all and I was so lucky to find such an amazing Standard Poodle to start our bloodline with. Daisy will retire this year but she will spend the rest of her life in our home as a loving Grandmother to her grandpuppies and great gandpuppies. Even though Daisy is still very young herself. Daisy is currently only 4 years old. Her very last litter will be this year and we have already decided that it will be a litter of (Small) Standard Poodles because we really want to keep a female from her last litter in order to carry on her AMAZING bloodline in our F1 Aussiedoodles.

We already have 1 of Daisy’s F1 Labradoodle daughters in our program and 2 of her F1B Grandaughters so in regards to our F1B Labradoodles… we already have the very best breeding stock available.. all from Daisy.

Daisy – Standard Poodle

If your looking for a smaller sized Labradoodle or Goldendoodle then you have to be very careful when picking your breeder because some Labradoodles and Goldendoodles can get HUGE.. not just in weight but in height which comes from the poodle in the mix. Make sure you find a breeder who breeds a smaller poodle in height.. my poodles are 20-21 inches tall while most average Standard Poodles are 24-26 inches tall (this is measured from the floor to the top of their shoulder not their head… like most would assume) and don’t be fooled if a breeder says my poodle is only 45 pounds.. because even though that is a medium sized dog in weight a poodle can be easily be 45 pounds but 24-26 inches tall!! Make sure to ask for their height.

Me and Toby – Toby is an F1 Goldendoodle and he is 75 pounds! Toby is not in our breeding program.

We test  all our breeding dogs for the following genetic issues.. OFA hips and Elbows, CERF eyes, Heart, PRA and Von Willebrand’s Disease.

So, our main goals are too produce a sweet and loving medium size family pet with a low to non shedding coat that are great for moderate to severe allergy sufferers and that will be a FOREVER FAMILY pet and companion. I believe we have accomplished these goals and our puppies are the very best you can find in the Great Northwest!

Our breeding goals:

• A Clear line of health – we attempt to screen out genetic disease such as hip and elbow dysplasia, cardiac and PRA (progressive retinal atrophy) using the genetic testing that is currently available.
• Well socialized puppies – each puppy is exposed from day one to a fun, family environment that encourages calm, mellow behavior. Group and one-on-one socialization, tolerance of sudden and loud noises, human handling, child play, alone-time, and adaptation to as many everyday family activities as possible; preliminary potty and crate training.
• Sweet Temperaments – This is one of the most important things we strive for.. Happy and playful, yet mellow and gentle; highly intelligent and easily trained; enthusiastic; graceful; athletic with agility, spunk, and spring.
• Superior features – a blocky head;  a silky soft Fleece coat that’s non to very low shedding with virtually no dander for our families who are allergy-prone. Less Dander equals NO doggy smell and a cleaner house!  A coat weight that’s not too thick or too curly for easier care and less matting.
• Exceptional veterinary and grooming care – vet checks and puppy care for total health and grooming:
• Health Clearance - Complete physical exam by a vet, jaw, teeth and bite check. Eyes and ears. Before your puppy goes home we also provide the first bath, nail clipping and coat brushing and sanitary clipping (depending on coat length).
• Vaccinations – first set of shots sometimes second set (depending on age of puppy when they go home, we personally would prefer to wait until 12 weeks to vaccinate at all but in our business this would not be accepted.. read more on The Truth about Vaccines to understand why. We promote a responsible vaccine schedule which starts at 8-9 weeks old).
• Worming - We treat our puppies and Dam for worms using Nemex 2 (pyrantal pamoate) at two weeks and again at 4 weeks then we use Fenbendazole (Safe-Guard) at 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age. Then we recommend once every couple months until 6 months and at least every 6 months after the age of 6 months.
• Commitment to you and your puppy – we’re available long after you adopt your puppy for potty training training help and basically anything else you might need advice on with your new puppy. We like to be a part of your doodle’s life and are happy to help you anytime we can. We LOVE pictures!

What’s scientifically great about a Doodle?

A Doodle is what you call a hybrid dog and poodle hybrids are not JUST incredibly cute and smart but there are also some desirable health benefits that come along with crossing two pure bred dogs. This is not just my personal opinion or a theory but this is a scientific fact! 

A first generation cross between two pure breeds produces a quality called hybrid vigour.

HYBRID VIGOUR: (or for the geneticists – HETEROSIS) is the term used to describe the burst of fertility, good health and growth that is seen in the progeny when two unrelated breeds are mated. The longer that these breeds have been separated, and the greater the differences between them, the stronger will be the resulting hybrid vigour. With each successive generation vigour is lost. (More info)

Hybrid vigour is not just a theory, it is the name given to describe something that happens repeatably throughout all species in the animal and plant kingdom.

We do not use inbreeding or linebreeding in our breeding program.
