My name is Annette Courtney. I breed miniature labradoodles as my hobby. I believe I am the original breeder of miniature British labradoodles. I live in Felmersham, North Bedfordshire with my family. We have an assortment of pets alongside our dogs, which include three ponies (one of which we have had since before my daughter Lucy was born), two sheep - Derek and Daisy and two cats - Howard and Twinkle. See the Life At Home gallery.

We have bred uk labradoodles for many years now and believe we have succeeded in what we wanted to achieve and what we believed families were looking for. Above all else we aim to breed a lovely family dog, smaller in size than a large doodle. Our miniature labradoodle puppies are born and raised in the house, so sometimes it can be a tight squeeze with us, our adult dogs, and puppies running everywhere. We subject our labradoodle puppies to all household mayhem plus we put in a lot of one to one time with each puppy (see Raising Our Puppies page), so you can be sure your puppy will be happy when he or she leaves us.

We have two stud dogs who are in our breeding program (health tests available for viewing), an austrialian labradoodle from Rutland Manor and Tegan Park Lines, and a lovely boy who we bred ourselves who will be availale for public stud alongside our miniature poodle Jasper. We hope they will sire many puppies who join dogs we have already bred for Canine Partners. We will be keeping our prices for Australian Labradoodles below £1,000 and we will not be carrying out early spay neuter on our puppies. All dogs health documents are available for viewing at your interview. We are not associated with any other breeders in Bedfordshire other than Ouselabradoodles, and work very closely with The Labradoodle Club Of Great Britain (incorporating The Miniature Labradoodle Club) and it's members to continue the future of the British labradoodle.

Please note if you have an allergy you must make this clear. Please also note that most doodles shed some hair and may not be allergy friendly towards you. We would also like to make it clear that we do not take deposits or booking fees until you have been for a visit and you are happy with your prospective puppy.

I am a breed adviser in Dogs Today Magazine, read my helpful hints column. Also Co-founder of the The Labradoodle Club of Great Britain. I have also studied animal behavior at Moulton College.

Included in our price is our ante-natal class. Strictly speaking these are technically post-natal in terms of the mother and puppy, however we refer to them as ante-natal in terms of the human / puppy context. Spend an afternoon with puppy expert Jill Ridgers, who will talk you through the various phases which are the inevitable processes through which every puppygoes. Full follow up training is available.
