Signature Labradoodles
Dale and Amy Lindgren have operated Signature Labradoodles in Springfield for more than 15 years, seeing families by appointment at their home on S M Street.

Hunterberry Hill Australian Labradoodles
Jennifer Rowland has bred Australian Labradoodles on a 10-acre property just outside Salem since 2014, now co-running the program with her daughter Avery Nelson.

Freedom Labradoodles
Dallas Yetter’s Freedom Labradoodles in Jefferson is a newer program that has already earned both ALAA’s Silver Paw and Gold Paw distinctions within its first several years. The kennel’s own site describes discovering the breed only a couple of years before starting to develop its own line.

Blooming Meadows Australian Labradoodles
Londa Nelson’s Blooming Meadows Australian Labradoodles in Lebanon traces a direct bloodline back to Tegan Park and Rutland Manor, the original Australian kennels that established the breed. She limits how many litters she produces each year to keep the focus on quality over quantity, and she actively participates in ALAA’s Golden Paw program.

Two Bend-Based Programs Serve Central Oregon’s High Desert
Bend’s high desert climate is home to two separate ALAA programs, both of which lean heavily on extensive health testing for their breeding stock.
NorthStar Labradoodles
After a family member’s allergies pointed her toward a hypoallergenic breed, Julie Williams-Jenkins opened NorthStar Labradoodles in Bend in 2009 and has since helped place puppies with more than 200 families. She holds ALAA’s Golden Paw distinction for 2025, runs OFA health screening and Paw Print Genetics testing on her breeding stock, operates a guardian home program for families who want to help raise a future breeding dog, and backs every puppy with a two-year health warranty.

Grants Pass Represents Southern Oregon
Starlight Ridge Australian Labradoodles
Kami LeMoss is the only ALAA member in Southern Oregon on this list, running Starlight Ridge Australian Labradoodles in Grants Pass. Her breeding dogs live in guardian homes rather than a central kennel, and puppies are deliberately exposed to household sounds and objects early on to build confidence, backed by a two-year written health guarantee.

Two Coastal Programs Round Out the List
The Oregon Coast rounds out the list with two more ALAA members, one newly established and one of the longest-running programs in the state.
Cedar Creek Labradoodles
Nora Munly’s Cedar Creek Labradoodles in Tillamook is one of the newer programs in this article, built around foundation female Beesley after Munly brought home her own first Labradoodle, Archer, in 2020. The kennel specializes in miniature Australian Labradoodles and credits Suncrest Australian Labradoodles in Portland, also featured earlier in this article, for mentorship and foundation stock.

Pacific Rim Labradoodles
Gretchen Anthony has run Pacific Rim Labradoodles in Gold Beach since 2003, making it the longest-established program in this article at more than two decades of operation. It’s also the only kennel on this list confirmed to hold dual membership in both ALAA and WALA, alongside an ALAA Silver Paw designation, CAER and OFA/PennHIP-tested breeding stock, and a two-year genetic health warranty.

ALAA Membership Comes With Real Requirements, Not Just a Logo
Every breeder named in this article is a current ALAA member, and that status has to be earned and maintained rather than simply claimed. To qualify, breeders must submit pedigrees and minimum health testing results for every breeding dog, provide written purchase agreements and health warranties on each puppy sold, register every litter they produce, and follow ALAA’s code of ethics in how they run their business.
The Golden, Gold, Silver, and other Paw designations mentioned throughout this article aren’t automatic either. Breeders earn them by testing well beyond ALAA’s baseline requirements and have to keep testing to maintain the distinction, which is why ALAA recommends buyers verify a kennel’s current standing and paw level directly through the association’s own directory rather than trusting a badge posted on a breeder’s website.
Oregon Does Have a Puppy Lemon Law, But Most Small Breeders Fall Outside It
Oregon is one of the few states in this series with an actual statutory remedy for a sick puppy. ORS 646A.077 entitles a buyer to a refund, a replacement dog, or reimbursement of veterinary costs if a dog is found diseased within 15 days of purchase or has a qualifying congenital condition discovered within a year, provided the buyer delivers a veterinarian’s written statement within four business days of the exam.
The catch is who the law actually covers. ORS 646A.077 defines a “pet dealer” as someone who sells five or more litters of dogs a year, and a related provision, ORS 646A.075, specifically exempts individuals who only sell dogs they personally bred or raised. Every home-based program in this article produces far fewer than five litters annually, which means the statute’s refund guarantee likely doesn’t apply to them, and a buyer’s real protection still comes down to whatever written health warranty the breeder offers directly.
Wildfire Smoke Is a Growing Health Risk for Oregon Puppies
Oregon State University’s Extension Service warns that wildfire smoke threatens pets mainly through fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, which can cause coughing, labored breathing, eye irritation, a runny nose, and reduced appetite in dogs. Flat-faced breeds face extra risk, but any young puppy with small, developing lungs deserves caution during smoke events.
OSU recommends checking AirNow.gov and limiting a dog’s exercise once the Air Quality Index climbs above 100, keeping dogs indoors with windows closed, sticking to brief bathroom breaks outside during active smoke, and allowing four to six weeks of recovery time after heavy exposure before resuming normal activity. Anyone picking up a puppy from one of Oregon’s inland or high-desert breeders during summer fire season should build these precautions into the first few months at home.
This Breed Started With One Guide Dog User’s Allergy Problem in Hawaii
The Australian Labradoodle exists because of one very specific request. A woman in Hawaii needed a guide dog, but her husband was severely allergic to nearly every breed her local guide dog school normally trained.
In response, Wally Conron, who worked for the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia, crossed a Labrador Retriever with a Standard Poodle in the late 1980s. The resulting dogs were calm and friendly enough for guide work, but their coats still shed heavily, so breeders later added Cocker Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, and Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier bloodlines to fix that.
Tegan Park and Rutland Manor had stabilized the coat and temperament that define the breed today by the early 1990s. Several of the Oregon breeders in this article, including Blooming Meadows in Lebanon, can trace their own lines back to that same foundation stock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Eighteen programs currently hold active ALAA membership in Oregon, more than any other state covered in this series. Eight are in the Portland metro area, five are in the Willamette Valley, two are based in Bend, one is in Grants Pass, and two more are on the Oregon Coast.
Yes, but it likely won’t help most buyers in this article. The statute requires a refund or reimbursement for a sick puppy, but only from a “pet dealer” selling five or more litters a year, and a related exemption in ORS 646A.075 excludes individuals who only sell dogs they bred themselves.
Almost certainly not. Each of the programs listed here produces well under five litters a year, which puts them outside the statute’s refund provisions regardless of how the puppy turns out.
It can be substantial during wildfire season, especially in Central and Southern Oregon. Oregon State University Extension recommends checking the Air Quality Index on AirNow.gov and limiting a dog’s outdoor exercise whenever it climbs above 100.
Check the breeder’s current ALAA membership status through ALAA’s own online directory, ask for OFA or genetic panel documentation on both parent dogs, and get a written health warranty from the breeder before paying a deposit, since Oregon’s consumer protection law likely won’t cover a small home-based breeder.
Conclusion
Oregon’s eighteen ALAA-registered Australian Labradoodle programs are spread across five distinct regions: the dense Portland metro cluster, the Willamette Valley, Bend’s high desert, a single outpost in Grants Pass, and two more along the coast. Most are small, home-based operations built around guardian home programs, extensive health testing, or specific lineage back to the breed’s original Australian foundation kennels.
Because Oregon’s puppy purchaser law only covers larger-volume dealers, a written health guarantee from the breeder is still the most reliable protection available to most buyers here. With wildfire smoke a real seasonal risk in much of the state, new owners should also have an air-quality plan ready before bringing a puppy home.
