We are located in Calhoun, LA just outside of West Monroe (home of Duck Dynasty). We have two nurseries that are part of our home. All of our dogs live indoors and have a ton of free roam in our house, nursery and our outdoor play areas. We have scheduled play time throughout the day and scheduled down/nap times as well.

I purchased my very first in 2014 so I have been around the community of ALD lovers and enthusiasts for a long time. We began purchasing breeding stock in 2019. During this time we obtained all appropriate licenses, supplies, extensive health testing, etc. We had our very first litter in January 2021!

First off, we LOVE all of our dogs. We also love our Guardian Families! We utilize guardian families so that every single dog is loved and cared for on a one-on-one basis. Yes some of our guardians have multiple dogs and that is okay as well as long as both get along well. Also, the dogs that live with us are set up on a schedule of doggy daycare and free roam time. We alternate who sleeps in the bed with us each night so that all are getting extra attention.

All of our dogs (at our home and local guardians) are groomed by yours truly! ;)

Our dogs are our hearts! At Arrowhead Australian Labradoodles (AAL) we want all of our pets and breeding dogs to live a life full of happiness and love! Australian Labradoodles (ALDs) are intelligent, happy, and loyal pups. This makes them a wonderful addition to a loving and caring family. We want all of our dogs to live in a family environment and never be isolated in a kennel setting.

We are searching for approved families to qualify for our guardian home program for our future breeding dogs. Both the guardian family and the breeding dog will be an extremely important part of our program. We will network with this family continuously. This program provides a unique opportunity for local families to become forever paw-rents of a breeding dog. These forever paw-rents love and care for the puppy/dog, taking care of its everyday care and expenses. AAL covers all breeding-related expenses while retaining ownership and breeding rights until the Guardian contract is completed. Once the contract has been fulfilled, AAL retires the dog and will spay/neuter it at its own expense. The ownership of the dog is then transferred to the guardian family.

Our breeding dogs are a “pick of the litter” puppy chosen by Brandon and me. We choose this puppy based on many factors such as health, structure, pedigree, temperament, and coat type. All hopeful breeder puppies are health and genetic tested. This puppy will meet or exceed breed standards. Breeding puppies are placed with their guardian families around 10-12 weeks of age. The breeding dog will come to Arrowhead Australian Labradoodles for breeding. He/she will be returned once successful breeding occurs. Males are only away from their guardian family for a very short period of time. The female will come back to AAL to deliver, nurse, and wean her puppies. She will remain with our family for a period of 8 weeks defined by when her puppies go to their forever families. At that time, she will be returned to her guardian family. We completely understand that 8 weeks is a very long time to go without your best friend and favorite pet. We strongly urge and welcome the guardian family to visit her with scheduled appointments.
