A little about us

Founded by Kate, a qualified Veterinary Nurse and Dr. James, a NSW registered Veterinarian, Goanna Hill Labradoodles was created from a shared passion for animal health, wellbeing and ethical breeding.

Kate has always had a particular interest in canine behaviour, early puppy development and…
