A little about us

I’m Debbie and work with my eldest daughter Jamie-Lee. As well as Showing and breeding dogs I run my own online pet supplies business called the "Crazy Dog Lady".

Why we got involved in breeding

I started out with Obedience and was introduced to breeding through another experienced breeder. Since then we have produced many wonderful puppies now in loving family homes.

Our special touch

Our Labrador dogs are very competitive and we have bred and titled a number of Australian Champions which have originated from high quality imported bloodlines. Over many years we have admired the Flat Coated Retriever and our girl has been successfully Shown as Australian Champion.
