LABRADOODLES IN THE NEWS

'A World First for the Labradoodle'

The Australian Labradoodle Association is the first dog breed association worldwide to require compulsory DNA testing for â€prcd-PRA. Prcd-PRA is a genetic eye disease that Labradors, poodles and at least 28 other dog breeds carry. The disorder causes cells in the retina at the back of the eye to degenerate and die. Fact: There is no treatment or cure for PRA for the labradoodle

'Here at Cloudcatcher Labradoodles, we are testing all our breeding dogs in an effort to eliminate PRA from the Labradoodle breed. You can be guaranteed that a Labradoodle puppy from cloudcatchers will never be affected by this blinding disease'

CloudCatcher Labradoodles

is located between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast
near Mt Warning, also called Cloud Catcher by the locals. It is the first place on the Australian Mainland to be touched by the morning sun and is located in the largest volcanic caldera in the Southern Hemisphere.

A Non-Shedding
Hypo-Allergenic Australian Labradoodle

Our Main Goal in Breeding Labradoodles is to develop completely new un-related bloodlines to strengthen and further contribute to the genetic diversity of Australian Labradoodles; as we are breeding labradoodles for quality not quantity.

Our Labradoodle breeding program is unique

to the majority of Australian Labradoodle Breeding Programs At least half of the genetic parentage of over 70% of Cloudcatcher dogs is now from bloodlines new to the Australian Labradoodle. 

We do not kennel our labradoodles

95% of our labradoodles live in their forever homes with their care families. Our care homes are located within one hour of our rural premises, 90% of these care home labradoodles live on the average of ½ acre or larger properties providing plenty of room for exercise and stimulation. At retirement, normally around 3 years of age, our female labradoodles have only produced 2.7 litters of puppies on the average.

We maintain a staff ratio of 4 persons

full time, for on the average of less than 24 labradoodle puppies at any one time; to ensure that your labradoodle puppy receives the highest level of human interaction and care at Cloudcatchers.

We do this in order to provide you

with the most suitable labradoodle in the world for the needs of modern families; that besides being non-shedding and odorless, is in possession of great temperament, health, trainability, intelligence, intuition and confirmation and many are great candidates as assistance and service dogs.

The Cloudcatcher Difference

is that our Labradoodles thrive as nature intended in a free range (not-kenneled) environment, frolicking together and accommodating of one another’s personalities as one peaceful, healthy, happy pack.

Our Labradoodle Habitat

in the year-round moderation of the semi-tropics is composed of 3 acres of connecting gardens and orchards adjoining the human den, which is of course the labradoodle favourite hangout.

Design is based on the labradoodle needs

The Cloudcatcher Labradoodles have their own purpose built ramp for accessing the house (as steps are bad for Labradoodle puppies) and a specially designed sofa which accommodates 5-6 doggies and their master very comfortably.

Our Labradoodles especially enjoy

their twice daily forays to their much loved 2 acre creek frontage paddock, which always has on offer, new smells and swimming experiences, along with lots of ball play. Check them out at the creek via the Photo Album.

The life of our Labradoodle is structured

around  Holistic Care from their daily homemade raw diet, preferred natural health care and recycling of waste; to the climate appropriate environmental design and comfort of the labradoodle puppy palace, puppy castles and the dogs various dens and hides.  From 4 weeks of age, each litter of Cloudcatcher labradoodle puppies thrive and develop in their own semi-shaded grassed garden, which is larger than most suburban backyards, with lots of toys, tunnels and plants/trees to keep them stimulated while exploring new sensory experiences.

We are breeding our much loved

and adored labradoodles, to produce that very special Cloudcatcher puppy for you and needless to say some of them qualify as that very special labradoodles breeding dog.
