Hello, I'm Darryn B.

ALABASSIST – Breeders of quality Purebred Labradors with excellent healthy pedigree suitable for being a valued member of your family, companion or as an assistance or support dog. We are registered breeders of quality assistance or support dogs and life companions. Breeder Prefix – ALABASSIST 4100283163. Breeder Identification Number - BIN0015556298120. We love our Labradors and there are many reasons why. We have had Labradors throughout our lives, as childhood pets, to adventurist buddies through our teenage years, and into our adult lives when we really needed that extra support with life ups and downs. If you are seeking an Assistance or Support Dog or a pet to help bring your family closer together, we may be able to assist you. We have spent many years searching for the ideal characteristics to form our breeding lines to ensure we have done our best in helping people who are also searching for a dog that will enhance their lives and help them to achieve their goals. We feel that the lines we have bred from are the best of the best. These dogs are the Top Guns of their class. They need to be to offer the support we require of them. A little more about the support and companionship an ALABASSIST Dog can provide. • Companionship and emotional support • Support for mental, emotional and behavioural conditions • A loyal, life-changing friendship • Increase confidence in participating in the community • More social opportunities and the chance to break down social barriers • Development of routine and commitment This is why Labradors are the most common dog breed in Australia, because: 1. Easy to motivate with food, toys, or human attention to follow cues. 2. Soft mouths, which means they can pick up delicate items like mobile phones without breaking them. This is especially crucial for clients living with physical disability who may not have full use of their hands and drop items often. 3. Moderate energy level: high enough to enjoy performing tasks, but low enough to not need excessive motivation to help their human. 4. Intelligence to learn multiple tasks. 5. Social, kind, and loving nature. 6. Confidence around noises and new things, rather than being scared. 7. Recognised breed by the general public and non-threatening in appearance. 8. Relatively fewer genetic medical problems. 9. Relatively early maturity and good life expectancy. 10. Easy-to-maintain short coat. 11. Good size and weight to perform practical skills.
