A little about us

We are Cass and Sam and both have our own established businesses in dog boarding and training and have come together to form Lovedale Labradoodles.

We are passionate about puppies! We care about ensuring that puppies born with us have the best possible start to their lives by starting even before they are born! We look after the parents by providing them with the highest nutritional and health care possible. This then carries on once the puppies are born…
