Believe it or not...

we have only one dog that lives full time in our home as our loving companion and that’s our stud, Sedona.  We believe that dogs should live inside a home with companionship and not outside in kennels isolated from contact.  Therefore, in order to facilitate our breeding program, we have other parent dogs that are in our Guardianship Program living with other loving families and getting the individualized attention they should have.  We retain the exclusive breeding rights to our guardian dogs while they are actively being used for breeding.  Lake Breeze pays all the costs related to breeding. Our Mama Dogs return to Lake Breeze 1-2 times per year for breeding and whelping.  Our studs may be used more frequently if needed but only for a few days at a time.  Once the dog “retires”, then ownership is transferred to the guardian family and they are 100% forever yours.  This is an ideal program for families who would love to have a breeding quality or "The Pick-of-the-Litter" Australian Labradoodle, and be able to have it at a significant discount plus earn a small stipend with each litter of puppies that their dog has.
