High Desert Labradoodles produces the highest quality Australian labradoodles puppies! I did an…read moreenormous amount a research into breeders and Dakota's operation rose to the top, time and time again. It made my choice very clear. High Desert Labradoodles produces one litter at a time, raising puppies in their home, with an incredible focus on their wellbeing, temperament and socialization. Dakota's philosophy and commitment to both the mother and puppies is unmatched. Each puppy, from birth through the careful matching process with each home, is gently and deliberately handled, loved and socialized. The puppies are loved on by her wonderful family, including her two daughters, which was a large bonus for our family. We were looking for a family dog, which Australian labradoodles are well known as, but being raised from day one around and handled by smaller hands was a wonderful asset. Dakota runs such an ethical, mindful business. She is wonderful and was happy to answer any questions I had before our puppy was born, in the eight weeks our puppy was in her care and even when we took our puppy home. Everywhere we go, our petite girl Granger (from Leo and Dory's litter), receives numerous compliments on her temperament, looks, and affectionate nature. I am constantly asked to give the name of our breeder and happily share High Desert Labradoodles name every time. Granger was potty trained and sleeping fully through the night within 10 days of coming to our home, a true testament to the extra effort High Desert Labradoodles and Dakota put into working with the puppies. I highly recommend High Desert Labradoodles!

The entire process (from putting in our deposit before the puppies were even born to picking up our little Wilson at eight weeks), had an easy flow all the way through. Dakota (the owner) was very forthcoming with pictures, videos and helpful tips for transitioning our puppy. She carefully matched our puppy to our description of lifestyle and the personality we desired. Wilson is thriving with us due to his early days with Dakota. He is a very healthy, happy puppy and has no health issues whatsoever. We highly recommend High Desert Labradoodles .

You don't pay over a thousand dollars to a breeder for a pure bred dog and then instantly have $500 in vet bills the moment you get home. Ridiculous. Deanna was completely indifferent to all of my questions about the dogs health and possibility of infection. The dog was aggressevly eating his poop at all times all over my house. Deanna blew off my concerns. She pushed it all on me to pay for fecal samples, drugs and to cure his poop eating through training. If the giardia had been treated by her prior to pickup, none of these issues would have arisen. Horrible experience. We decided to cut our losses and return the sick pup to her. We lost over $1,000 due to losing our deposit and vet bills. I will never speak to her again.

She truly cares about her pups and how they're being taken care of. I was able to make a special request to have my puppy's tail left intact. I did have to pay upfront as opposed to just the deposit with rest paid prior to pick up - which I completely understand, I had no issues with this. I hopped on the waitlist on the website for Truffle and Whiskey's litter and ended up choosing my blue merle boy Ollie. Johanna kept me in the loop through the whole process with periodic photos and videos updates on her website. With Johanna's help, found a reliable flight nanny. Ollie made a trip with a flight nanny from Oregon to Florida, and he did so well. Johanna had packed a goody bag with a little blanket with mom's scent, leash, harness and some healthy treats along with all the necessary paperwork. The vet here commended how organized my breeder was with all the initial shots and paperwork. All the adult dogs' medical history is also available on her website for review (I looked through them prior to getting on the waitlist) The second I met my puppy, I fell in love. He is the most incredible dog! He loves everyone, very friendly and oh so loving and affectionate. I've gotten so many compliments on his temperament and his looks. Besides being incredibly adorable, he is such a fast learner - training him as been very rewarding (of course there will be challenges with puppy training but overall it has been great). He came to me at 8 weeks 3 days, and mostly potty trained already in terms of him letting me know when he needed to go. He is very confident and good natured little boy. Thankful for the show versus herding bloodlines, my Ollie is very even keeled for an Aussie. Even after a few months of having my pup, I had some questions regarding diet etc and received very well thought out advice from Johanna. Combined with my research to look into what she had suggested, it's evident how much she values taking really good care of the dogs with great quality food and supplements. I just am so grateful for him and very grateful for Johanna for all the care and effort she puts into her program. 10/10 recommend High Desert Aussies. I myself plan on getting another pup down the road from her.

These are high energy herding dogs by breed, and you must be prepared to put the time into them, but the rewards are awesome :)

But I didn't like the way the breeder's daughter was handling the pup, and my nurturing instincts said "lets save this poor puppy." The day after we got home he snarled at me. Nothing serious, but definitely more than just "puppy mouthing." I called the breeder and she assured me that he was held in all different ways and never showed any sign of aggression. So I figured it must be an isolated incident. Fast forward to 5 months old. Now our dog won't let us touch him, pet him or handle him in any way without snarling. If we don't back off, he will definitely bite. He has drawn blood. I contacted the breeder and was told that they "had never had any feedback like this on any of their animals." I've talked to multiple professionals in this area and virtually all of them have told me that they have seen many problem dogs from this breeder. I have also been told that the breeder's response to me is their pat answer and that many people were told the same thing. We are now working with our 3rd trainer, are on our 3rd vet, and are finally finding ways we can handle him with multiple treats, much encouragement, and patience, patience, patience. He's an incredibly smart dog and has great potential. But it seems that we are always going to have to be on our guard, likely won't be able to comfortably pet or handle him. And if he slips up and bites someone we'll have to put him down. We got him at a good price ($400), but this is the most expensive $400 dog we've ever had.
