The Why

How a great Australian Labradoodle gets made.

How have Australian Labradoodle breeders produced such consistently great animals for decades?
Australian Labradoodle breeders prioritize choices that support great health. The integrity of the breeding selection process allows this breed to stand out from other variant breeds that were more recently developed. As poodle-mix combinations have grown in popularity due to interest in a non-shedding pet, inconsistencies have crept in. Non-regulated breeding without extensive genetic testing or attention to important health actions often pose safety risks, high vet bills, and unnecessary stress for families — and can leave buyers with a difficult-to-manage dog in the home. Australian Labradoodle breeding is responsibly managed by members of WALA and AALA. Accredited members must adhere to rules, guidelines, bylaws, and a code of ethics — designed to protect the health and behavior of what we believe are the best dogs on the planet. WALA + ALAA accreditation is reviewed and renewed annually for ongoing accountability. Members also receive extensive support, education, and resources to further ensure the integrity of the breed.
What is the difference between non-accredited breeders and Best Life Labradoodles?
We invest in extensive testing and maintain processes to create great pups — so we can send families home with a healthy puppy who is not just cute but can contribute to your life in more ways than you can imagine. The full list of what that means in practice is below.

Selection

How puppies get matched to families.

Your vision of a perfect puppy most likely has a certain look or personality. We take puppy-family matching very seriously and will consider all of your requests to help find a dog that will live its best life while contributing to yours for many years. Your priorities are ours.

When a litter is ready for selection, we ask buyers to share their top three preferred dogs from the litter. Family-puppy matches are made based on those preferences, in the order deposits were received. There are no "last" picks of the litter — every puppy is a good pick. Any differences in temperament or minor variances from our standards are disclosed to all buyers before selection.

If you're last to submit a reservation deposit, we can't guarantee one of your favorites will be available — but we'll do our best, and we can usually predict (based on other reservations) whether the size, color, or gender you're hoping for will be available. Please trust our process. We've yet to have a disappointed buyer. If the available puppies aren't what you were hoping for at your selection time, you can wait for the next litter — when an earlier pick may be available.

We advise all of our buyers to fall in love with all of the pups in the litter, rather than one — and to stay open about gender, since the large majority of gender stereotypes simply aren't true. If you have a strong preference for gender, we'll take it into account.

Your perfect match will ultimately be determined by God — and we believe He knows what He's doing.

Delivery

Can we deliver to other states?

"Stork" delivery is typically available, depending on location, for families unable to pick up their puppy from us here in Arrington, TN. We personally deliver our dogs by car or plane — not using "flight nannies." Our puppies fly in pet carriers at our feet, per airline guidelines — never in a crate in the bottom of the plane.

A $550 fee plus agreed-upon travel expensesapplies. We also frequently provide free delivery to Chicago (where we visit family often). Total transport — including the transporter fee, flight cost, parking, and the airline's pet fee (usually $125) — is typically $1,200 or less, depending on the cost of the flight.

Alternatively, we'll meet you at the Nashville airport if you choose to transport the dog yourself. The charge for airport drop-off is $150. If you go this route, we're happy to talk you through the process and even practice carrier use with your puppy before the flight.
