What Sets Our Dogs Apart?
We don’t just raise puppies, we focus on developing dogs who can truly live with you. Dogs who settle easily, connect naturally, and adapt to your home and lifestyle. Everything we do, from breeding decisions, to early development, is centered on one thing: temperament.
Established in 2011, we are a boutique breeder of authentic ALAA registered Australian Labradoodles. (Australian Cobber Dogs) Our pedigrees can be traced to Australia, where the breed was born at Tegan Park and Rutland Manor. Our home is located on a hillside in beautiful Southern Oregon. It is our belief that every dog should be raised in a loving home with a family to call their own. Because of this belief, we do not use kennels for our breeding program. Instead, each of our breeding dogs is raised in a guardian home where they are loved and integrated into their family’s daily life.
The result is a program built around:
- Intentional Temperament Breeding
- Structured Early Development
- Real Home Raising
- Thoughtful, Guided Matching
Backed by over 15 years of experience and a long-standing commitment to doing things thoughtfully, not quickly.

From Our Home to Yours
Starlight puppies are raised in our home, surrounded by the natural rhythm of every day life. From an early age, they are gently introduced to the kinds of sounds, smells and experiences they’ll encounter in the real world. They hear music playing in the background, the hum of a vacuum, the unpredictability of children at play. We also take care to expose them to things that can be overwhelming if introduced too late… fireworks, the crack of thunder, sirens, motorcycle sounds and a wide range of unfamiliar movement and sound.
These experiences aren’t random, they’re intentional.They’re designed to help each puppy build confidence, curiosity, and move through new situations without fear.
The result is a puppy who doesn’t just look well adjusted but truly is. A puppy who is more likely to settle, adapt and feel at ease as they transition into your home.
A Strong Start
From the very beginning, our focus is on raising puppies who are not only well prepared, but well cared for in every sense. Before going home, each puppy is carefully evaluated and prepared. They are temperament assessed, microchipped, and receive all age appropriate vaccinations to ensure a healthy start.
We take matching seriously. Rather than simply choosing based on appearance, we match each family with the puppy whose temperament and personality best align with their home, lifestyle and goals.
When your puppy goes home, they bring more than just their belongings, they bring familiarity. A blanket with their mama’s scent, toys they have been raised with, along with a binder holding carefully prepared records and essentials, helps ease the transition.
Every puppy is backed by a two year written health guarantee, offering added confidence and peace of mind.
Because how a puppy begins matters long after they leave us.
