Our Program
How we work
All our breeding dogs are hip/elbow x-rayed and DNA tested with Orivet for all breed specific hereditary diseases before entering our program, and have proven themselves to have wonderful temperaments. We have 21 years of carefully selected bloodlines, and we can proudly boast that when we moved our program to Sydney, every breeding dog passed its hip and elbow x-rays!
All our breeding dogs are homed with guardian families, where they receive the love and individual attention they thrive on.
Every whelping, day or night, is assisted closely by us to help safely bring our puppies into the world. Our girls give birth in our house, so they are in a comfortable, homely setting to reduce any stress. Our veterinary knowledge and qualifications ensure our breeding girls and newborns receive the highest care possible - they have a qualified veterinarian and vet nurse to look after them around the clock. We have our own ultrasound machine, which we use to monitor pregnancies and whelpings, and veterinary equipment and medications on hand to assist mothers and newborn puppies who may need extra help. Our qualifications and experience set us apart from most other breeders.
We aim to maintain lasting relationships with our clients and this is one of the many reasons why we keep things small and personal. We offer lifetime support for your puppy - when you ask for help and advice, you are asking qualified veterinary professionals. This is the Goanna Hill difference!
For over 21 years families across Australia have trusted Goanna Hill because we believe exceptional puppies begin with exceptional breeding.
Our puppies
As breeders of Australian Labradoodles, we strive to produce Labradoodle puppies of the highest quality that become wonderful family pets. Many of our puppies have gone on to have therapy and assistance roles in schools, hospitals and homes. We are dedicated to moving our lines forward, producing puppies with consistent, stunning looks, wonderful temperaments and sound health. We specialise in miniature to large-medium sized Labradoodles with easy care, fleece coats. The puppies we breed are usually in the chocolate, caramel and red colour range.
We follow the NSW DPI Animal Welfare Code of Practice for breeding dogs (NSW Government Registered Breeder Number BIN: B000697086). Our puppies are born and raised on our Sydney acreage and are under 24hr supervision - Kate sleeps in our puppy room usually for the first week or so, depending on how mum and pups are going. The puppies then move to a puppy play area at around 4 weeks of age.
Our puppies are nurtured in a home environment with structured socialisation and early learning experiences designed to support confident temperaments.
Our puppies receive weekly vet checks by Dr Jim as they develop, which sets us apart from most other breeding programs. We also expose our puppies to early neurological stimulation, basic education, age appropriate experiences and socialisation as they grow. Not only do we give our puppies a C3 Vaccination (which is standard care) but also a Kennel Cough vaccination, so pups have developed immunity from KC respiratory infection before going to their new families.
