The Story of

17 years ago, as our large family was growing up and their demands were on the wane, we thought it would be fun to have a new hobby... and Ivylane Labradoodles was born.

​

We have always loved dogs, but not so much the shedding.  Many hours of research, networking, and visiting experienced breeders, we finally decided on our first Australian Labradoodle.  With my background as a nurse in Maternal Child Health and high-risk obstectrics, breeding quality puppies was a natural and fun transition.

​

Our Mommas whelp their puppies in a well-lit, climate controlled large room adjacent to our kitchen and family room.  (We have come a long way from our first litter in our laundry room!) We are now licensed by the state of Pennsylvania and have two loyal employees.  What started as a whim, has grown and developed nto a high quality breeding program that is known nationwide.  It is our passion and focus and besides our own children (and now, grandchildren) the most impactful thing we have ever done.

​

With great joy, we have bred, birthed and placed over 1700 puppies mostly on the East coast.  We like to think that we have significantly contributed to each of our families' health and happiness and for this we are eternally grateful.
