Welcome to Blue Ridge Delightful Doodles
“Home of the Delightful Doodle!
Raising Delightful Companions for Cherished Forever Homes.”
“Every day is a delightful day when it begins with an Australian Labradoodle.”
Raised with warmth, presence, and love — right here in our home.
We are so grateful you’re here, and we can’t wait for you to meet your furever family member.
We are a small, in-home breeder of Multigenerational Mini Australian Labradoodles nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia. Our program is intentionally small, so every puppy is raised as part of our family — right alongside our daily routines, children, laughter, and gentle hands.
Health, temperament, and early socialization are at the heart of everything we do. As proud members of the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association (WALA), our breeding program follows established ethical guidelines and rigorous health standards designed to protect the long-term well-being of the Australian Labradoodle breed. Our parent dogs complete comprehensive health testing, including OFA evaluations for hips, elbows, and cardiac, annual CAER eye exams, and complete full genetic health panels. This thorough approach allows us to thoughtfully plan each pairing and confidently raise healthy, well-rounded companions with sound temperaments and loving dispositions.
From birth through the time they go home, our puppies are nurtured, handled, and loved every single day. They are thoughtfully exposed to different sights, sounds, textures, family life, and gentle early learning to support confidence and ease in new environments.
We complete temperament evaluations to help match each puppy with the family and lifestyle where they will truly thrive.
Our goal is simple: to raise delightful, healthy, well-rounded Australian Labradoodle puppies who bring joy, connection, and warmth to the hearts and homes they join.
The Most Delightful Family Companion
Australian Labradoodles are known for their loving nature, emotional intuition, and joyful personalities. They bond deeply with their humans and fit beautifully into family life, making them one of the most well-rounded companion breeds.
Hypoallergenic & Low - Non Shedding
Australian Labradoodles are known for their soft, luxurious coats that typically shed far less than many breeds. While no dog can be guaranteed completely hypoallergenic, ALDs are often an excellent choice for families with allergies or sensitivities due to their low-dander, low-non shedding coat type.
Highly Intelligent & Eager to Please
Australian Labradoodles are naturally intuitive, people-focused, and quick to learn. They thrive with gentle guidance and enjoy being included in daily family life, making training a positive and rewarding experience.
Loving, Gentle, and Joyfully Playful
They are affectionate and steady companions who enjoy both playtime and quiet snuggles. Their warm, friendly nature makes them wonderful with children and deeply connected to their families.
Blue Ridge Delightful Doodles is built on the love and dedication of our foundation girls — the heart of our program. We’re joyfully preparing for our first litters in 2026 and can’t wait to share the delight our puppies will bring to families everywhere.
