Labradoodles!
Updated April 4th, 2008
Bela’s second litter of puppies will be ready for new homes from April 15 (8 weeks old) if within driving distance and on April 29 (10 weeks old) if they have to fly!
There are all beautiful - four girls and three boys. And they are growing up to be very special just like the first litter (see photos in the Gallery) - a great combination of one of the most beautiful and gentle dogs, Bela, with the fun loving nature of Barney.
Prices of the pups is $1,200 for the males and $1,400 for the females, inclusive of vaccinations, microchipping, health checks, detailed instructions in caring for your new puppy and any local transport arrangements including to Brisbane or Gold Coast airport for interstate travel (flights go direct from Gold Coast to most capital cities).
If interested in one of the remaining puppies, please email us or call (02) 66878939. See the Gallery 2nd litter for individual pup photos and who is still available to share your life.

Joy - that’s what a labradoodle will bring to you and your family. They are a great companion dog and a great family dog.
Commitment - that’s what it is all about, so if you are serious about making a doodle a member of your family for the next decade or so, read on!

Bela |
Barney |
Barney and Bela are the resident labradoodles at Larapinta.
Barney is a Brisbane boy and he is a F2B labradoodle, which means that he is the result of a mating between a second generation F2 cream labradoodle (dad) and a standard white poodle. He has a cream wool coat and doesn’t shed.
Bela is a Sydney girl and she’s a F1B labradoodle - the result of a first generation F1 cream labradoodle (mum) and a standard red poodle. Bela has an apricot fleece coat and doesn’t shed.
It is Bela’s first litter and it was conceived on Christmas Day and show no signs of any health problems. All of the pups are being regularly checked by our local vet, and the first check up since birth pronounced them all 100%!
Both dogs have outstanding temperaments and display all the attributes of the labradoodle breed - super friendly, gentle, playful and very smart.
They live in ‘paradise’ and enjoy home cooked meals every day - quite spoilt actually!
Professional breeders suggest that various tests need to be done to guarantee the health of the pup you might buy and pass on those costs to you. We know that both Barney and Bela are very healthy dogs and show no signs of any health problems.
They live in a loving environment and the pups reflect this. We have no hesitation in saying that these pups will reward you for many years to come.
The Puppies. |
The puppies are quickly growing – please visit the gallery for the individual pictures. As they grow their coats and the colours will also develop, so visit the website for weekly updates. They will all have light fleece or light wool coats which will be minimal shedding.
The puppies are: ( temporary names only)
- Maisy – a beautiful girl who will be the same colour as her mother, ‘apricot’ or caramel depending upon the light
- Roxy (prev 'Goldie') – a beautiful little cream/chalk doodle girl with hint of gold on her coat*
- Linus – light cream/chalk with a hint of gold like a Labrador *
- Lulu – a healthy girl, the same colour as Linus*
- Lucas II – a most unusual colour – platinum blonde has been suggested! Take a look at Lucas in the first litter and you will see!
- Napoleon – very similar to Lucas – slightly curlier in the face
- Lana – gorgeous light apricot/gold in colour – a very pretty doodle.
* See Leroy from the first litter to compare
If you would like to reserve a puppy contact us by email soon. We have some tentative reservations – all waiting to see them grow up a little more!
Please visit the Gallery to see a selection of photos of them and which pups are still available.

Size:
These puppies will grow to become ‘standard’ size which is around the size of a Labrador, but with the lighter frame of a poodle.
Needs:
Attention -Labradoodles love people, you will definitely need to love them back and give them attention.
Exercise - these puppies will need room to move and play and regular walks or trips to the park as they grow up. If they are like their parents, they will love the beach and will love the water!
Training - labradoodles are smart, so with proper training, you will have an obedient and loyal friend for their lifetime.
Grooming - with their non-shedding coats you will not have dog hair everywhere but they do need regular grooming. A brush once a week, a bath every few weeks and cutting a couple of times a year is recommended, especially over the summer months.
Feeding - instructions will be provided for their ‘puppy’ days but one they mature, one complete meal a day is fine. Like any dog though, a fresh bone, pigs ear or other treat is always welcomed!
Health - each puppy will all be vaccinated and checked by our vet and wormed regularly before it is available. We can arrange for desexing if you wish prior to collection for the cost of the service.
