About Us

We searched and searched in pet rescue and pounds for our dogs but we couldn't find one to suit our family at that time. We needed small/medium hypo-allergenic dogs who would thrive in our family with our existing pets. There were a lot of beautiful dogs available for rescue of course! Just none for us.

 

 Our first dog Ruffy came to us through a friend. She is small but she can hold her own in the dog park! Ruffy has warm brown eyes which she uses to provide emotional support to us when we need it. But it was hard to find stud dogs for Ruffy - as most breeders in Australia are not permitted to support cross-breeds by their dog clubs. That gave us the idea of supporting and promoting stud dogs who we KNOW are great dogs - through gene tests, and experience with their healthy litters, but mainly through their temperament in action.

Our second dog Iris is a Bordoodle - a cross between a Border Collie and a Poodle. In Australia, these are becoming popular but the breed isn't yet developed. It usually takes several generations to create a consistently wonderful dog. We contacted Iris's breeder and had her full support to breed her into the next iterations of this lovely breed.

That was in 2021 and now we are a small breeder dedicated to breeding friendly dogs that fit into your family. We've created multi-generational puppies, been audited by RightPaws and Responsible Pet Breeders Association, and have learnt through mentors, courses and on the job how to do breeding professionally and safely.

When we started we were in Castlemaine Victoria, but now we've moved to 7.5 acres in Kyneton (1 hour from Melbourne) so we can stop driving our neighbours nuts! We keep the puppies in our home during evening and nighttime hours, and when it's warm enough, they can roam our beautiful house paddock. We welcome visitors once the pups are four weeks old, because it helps us socialise them to different people, and we also love showing them off! We also can do video or phone chats so you can see what we do even if you can't make it to Kyneton,

Happy Non-Shedding Puppies

We breed litters of puppies in our family home in Castlemaine. Our puppies are highly socialised and ethically bred. We are very careful about helping our customers select the right puppy for their family and home.

Stud service

We use Halo the super Border Collie and we have a Bordoodle stud who's on the way. These beautiful dogs all make superb family pets and companions. We met or bred these lovely dogs and we support ethical breeders who would like to use their service.

Bordoodle Breed Development

The Bordoodle is a relatively new mix of Border Collie and Poodle. We are working to develop generations of the Bordoodle into a wonderfully consistent non-shedding family dog. We are aiming to create a medium, non shedding dog with a loving temperament.
