We are a small, licensed, family breeder of authentic Australian Labradoodles. Our home is in Bonita, California, a friendly Southern California community of southern San Diego County. Our dogs are family pets. Your puppy is raised in our suburban home with cats, kids and the echoes of the large community around us.

Canyon Court Labradoodles' mission is to produce healthy, happy, intelligent, and allergy-friendly Australian Labradoodles. Our breeding dogs have their ancestry in the original Multigenerational Australian Labradoodle lines from the founders of the breed. Our breeding dogs are screened using genetic tests and health exams with strict standards. Your puppies go home with a three-year health guarantee and a lifetime of support from Canyon Court Labradoodles.

We strive to maintain the foundational characteristics of the Authentic Multigenerational Australian Labradoodle, developed over the last 20 years.
We are proud members of the International Labradoodle Association, a breeding organization that includes ALAA and ALA, whose foundational goal is to create and maintain a healthy Labradoodle by creating guidelines for testing, breeding, and standards of temperament and physiology.

Canyon Court Australian Labradoodles’ breeding dogs undergo rigorous genetic testing, meeting the standards and guidelines set forth by Australian Labradoodle Club of America and the Australian Labradoodle Association of America, as well as other reputable breeding organizations. (Please visit ALCA and ALAA to find out more about these Labradoodle organizations and healthy standards of breeding, as well as to gain insight into personality and breed characteristics of the Australian Labradoodle).

Our breeding dogs undergo annual eye exams, as well as thyroid and cardiologic tests. The dogs are proven to be clear of the genetic diseases of PRA (prcd) and vWd. We select and breed animals with sound hips (Penn Hip tested, AVA, or OFA) and calm, mellow, easy-going personalities.

At Canyon Court, we focus on temperament and conformation breeding standards, creating healthy, fun-loving animals, well acclimated to everyday suburban family life. Our dogs benefit from our large yard and fresh canyon air, but they also grow up around the sounds of setting car alarms, delivery trucks bringing packages, sirens in the distance, and the chants of our local high school football team practicing on the mesa above our long canyon. When the puppies are old enough, we take them for short walks and car rides in our community. Our highly-socialized puppies are lovingly handled by children and grandparents; they live with cats and babies.

Our dogs know the suburban lifestyle, and they love it! They are loved and cherished, and ready to be respected members in your family. Whether your community is urban or rural, our dogs are ready to adapt to your setting, your family, and your lifestyle. Canyon Court's Labradoodles love human interaction and they thrive on attention, exercise, and affection. Welcome to the world of Australian Labradoodles!

The true Australian Labradoodle is the result of up to six, or more, successive generations of careful breeding. The result is a healthy, well-tempered dog, with a low to non-shed, allergy-friendly coat that makes it the perfect family companion. Its loyal and intuitive nature matched with a high degree of trainability easily enable these dogs to live lives as service companions, as guide dogs, or in other therapy work.

The Australian Labradoodle has its origins rooted in the need for dog lovers with highly reactive allergies to have a dog that was non-shedding and allergy-friendly. Begun in Australia, tests with non-shed Poodles proved to be unsuccessful until, at last, Poodle-Labrador Retriever cross produced the desired effect of an allergy friendly dog. Some early crosses yielded a non-shed and allergy-friendly coat, but the coat types and allergy-friendly traits of these early "labradoodles" were highly unpredictable.

The Australian Labradoodle is a result of multiple-generational crosses with its foundation in the poodle and Labrador Retriever breeds. The Poodle and Labrador retriever, however, share inherent genetic defects common to both breeds. In an effort to create greater genetic diversity, solidify body type, and maintain desired coat qualities, other breeds such as the American Cocker Spaniel and Irish Water Spaniel were strategically infused into the Australian Labradoodle breeding lines to develop a healthier dog. All the while, focusing on the Australian Labradoodle's temperament as an ideal family pet and service dog, as well as the allergy-friendly non-shedding origins.

Ever evolving, scientific research enables breeders to conduct extensive genetic testing on their breeding dogs; allowing us to choose only the best, genetically sound dogs to continue in the development of the Australian Labradoodle as a healthy family pet.

Hip testing and research on the environmental factors associated with hip dysplasia give responsible breeders the opportunity to work towards the elimination of hip dysplasia from the Labradoodle line.

This collection of genes comes together to create a diversified and healthier genetic breed of dog. As breeding animals have always been selected and raised with the original dream of a healthy, happy, intelligent companion dog serviceable to all people, and able to be loved and enjoyed by allergy sufferers and their loved ones.
