The Australian Labradoodle is allergy friendly by nature. There are three distinct coat types: wool, fleece and curly. Fleece and Wool tend to affect a person’s allergies less while hair, as with any breed, can sometimes provoke mild allergic reactions. For those with severe allergies, we always suggest a curly puppy.

At Swinging Gate Labradoodles, we breed the multi-generation Miniature Australian Labradoodle. Ranging from 18 lbs. for our smallest female to 35 lbs. for our largest male.
Our puppies are raised in our home from birth. When age dictates, each puppy is given the necessary regimen of vaccinations. Each puppy is raised in our home(s) and dewormed at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age. They then receive their first round of parvo/distemper vaccination, microchip, full physical, fecal examination, and first month of heart worm prevention upon coming home / being transported to training. We provide regular veterinary care throughout the puppies’ early life.
We use every contact we are provided based off of your application. Once you are able to choose, you have 24 hours to respond. If we do not hear from you, we will move on to the next family on our list.

Due to the risk of the spread of Parvo, we do not allow visitors. Parvo is transferred through microscopic fecal matter; often on the bottom of shoes. The risk is too high and we aim to protect, not risk, the health of our pups. *Due to COVID-19, all pick ups are to be discussed and details will be given on proper protocol.

We do! Puppy Kindergarten is a great introduction to daily life for your pup! The program is run by our trainer out of Charlotte, NC. They learn the basics of crate, potty, and leash training as well as name recognition.
The program is a minimum of 1 week, with a recommended stay of 3 weeks. Some families choose to do a full 4 weeks.
