Queensland has two confirmed Australian Labradoodle breeders in WALA’s member directory, one tucked into Brisbane’s rural western fringe and the other out toward Ipswich.
Neither shows up in ALAA’s directory, which is why this guide, like the rest of Doodle Breed Expert’s Australia coverage, leans on WALA instead.
Queensland’s Two WALA-Registered Breeders
Belloui Labradoodles
Belloui Labradoodles operates out of Brookfield, a rural residential suburb on Brisbane’s western edge known for its acreage properties and the Moggill Creek that runs through it.
Nicole Goggins founded the program, and her daughter Belle now continues it, breeding Australian Labradoodles alongside Sheepadoodles, Cavoodles, and a handful of other doodle crosses through a guardian-home arrangement that keeps most breeding dogs living with families rather than in kennels.
The program’s breeding dogs go through genetic testing with Embark and Orivet, plus hip, elbow, and patella evaluations, before ever being paired. Puppies stay with the program for six to seven weeks of temperament testing before going home to their families.
Location: Brookfield, Queensland
Website: Belloui Labradoodles
Registry: WALA (WALA-0919-00910)
Journey Australian Labradoodles
Journey Australian Labradoodles is based in Redbank Plains, a fast-growing suburb in the City of Ipswich roughly 34 kilometers southwest of central Brisbane. Owner Michael Whitty runs the program as a small family operation, emphasizing multi-generational lineage and comprehensive health testing across hips and patellas.
WALA’s directory lists Journey with Miniature and Medium sizes currently available, a narrower range than Belloui offers but consistent with a smaller, single-family breeding operation rather than a larger multi-litter program.

Why ALAA Has No Queensland Breeders
Doodle Breed Expert has searched ALAA’s breeder directory repeatedly across this entire Australia-focused cluster of articles, and it consistently turns up zero members based inside Australia, despite the country being where the Australian Labradoodle actually originated.
That absence is exactly why WALA, the Worldwide Australian Labradoodle Association, is the registry referenced throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and the rest of this site’s Australia coverage.
WALA was founded by breeders in the United States and Canada and has grown into a genuinely international association, with members across roughly 30 countries and a Diamond Rewards tier that recognizes breeders who go beyond baseline health-testing and ethics requirements.
Neither Belloui Labradoodles nor Journey Australian Labradoodles currently carries that Diamond distinction, which places both at WALA’s standard membership tier.
Queensland’s Breeder Supply Number Rule
Under the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008, every dog breeder in Queensland has to register with the Department of Primary Industries within 28 days of a litter being born, unless they qualify for a narrow exemption covering working dogs bred by primary producers.
Registration itself is free, but it has to be renewed every 12 months, and it produces what the state calls a supply number.
That supply number has to appear whenever a breeder advertises, sells, gives away, or otherwise supplies a dog, and the Act sets penalties for anyone who skips it.
Belloui Labradoodles’ own website lists a Queensland breeder registration number separate from its WALA membership ID, which is exactly the kind of dual-registry, dual-identifier setup buyers should expect from any compliant Queensland breeder now.
Beyond the supply number itself, Queensland’s welfare code covers housing, exercise, nutrition, and record-keeping standards that registered breeders have to meet, giving buyers a second layer of accountability beyond whatever health-testing commitments a private registry like WALA requires.
Brookfield and Redbank Plains, Explained
Brookfield lies about 13 to 15 kilometers west of the Brisbane CBD, a rural residential pocket of large acreage properties where Moggill Creek winds toward the Brisbane River and D’Aguilar National Park sits just to the north.
The 2021 census counted only 3,640 residents across the suburb’s 20.6 square kilometers, and its median age of 46 reflects a community of established, larger landholdings rather than new housing estates.
Redbank Plains, by contrast, is one of the fastest-growing parts of the Ipswich local government area, with its population climbing from 19,299 at the 2016 census to 24,349 just five years later.
It sits about 34 kilometers southwest of central Brisbane and roughly 12 kilometers from the Ipswich CBD, a newer, denser suburban landscape than Brookfield’s acreage blocks.
That contrast, an established rural-residential pocket on one side of Brisbane and a rapidly expanding outer suburb on the other, roughly mirrors the kind of setting differences Doodle Breed Expert has found splitting breeder profiles apart in other states covered on this site.
Brisbane’s Humid Subtropical Climate
Brisbane carries a humid subtropical classification, with summer daily highs averaging around 30°C and winter highs still comfortable at roughly 22°C, making it Australia’s second-hottest capital city after Darwin.
Annual rainfall runs to about 1,048 millimeters, and afternoon humidity regularly sits between 43 and 59 percent, giving both Brookfield and Redbank Plains a genuinely sticky feel through summer that inland or southern breeders on this site don’t have to plan around.
From November through March, thunderstorms are a regular feature of the Brisbane calendar, and the more severe ones bring large hail, torrential rain, and destructive winds.
Frost is essentially a non-issue here; the city didn’t record its first sub-zero reading until July 2007, which means a Queensland-raised Labradoodle’s coat care routine leans almost entirely toward heat and humidity management rather than winter cold.
The Australian Labradoodle’s Origin Story
Every Australian Labradoodle bred anywhere today, Belloui’s and Journey’s dogs included, traces back to a single, very specific fix devised in Victoria in the late 1980s, not Queensland.
A blind woman in Hawaii needed a guide dog, but her husband’s severe allergies ruled out the breeds her local guide dog school normally placed.
Wally Conron at the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Victoria crossed a Labrador Retriever with a Standard Poodle and named the resulting puppy Sultan.
Sultan worked successfully as a guide dog for ten years, and Conron leaned into a catchy crossbreed name to help the concept overcome the stigma that typically surrounded mixed-breed dogs at the time, which is how “Labradoodle” entered everyday use.
Later litters still shed inconsistently, so Australian kennels, most notably Tegan Park and Rutland Manor, spent the early 1990s folding in Cocker Spaniel, Irish Water Spaniel, and Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier bloodlines to help stabilize a genuinely lower-shedding coat.
That multi-generational Australian foundation runs through every WALA breeder’s pedigree today, regardless of which state they now breed in.
Conron has since spoken publicly about regretting how far the breed’s popularity outpaced the number of careful, health-tested breeding programs able to keep up with demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Two confirmed listings in WALA’s directory: Belloui Labradoodles in Brookfield and Journey Australian Labradoodles in Redbank Plains. ALAA’s own directory shows no members anywhere in Australia.
Journey Australian Labradoodles lists Miniature and Medium sizes. Belloui Labradoodles doesn’t specify particular size categories on its WALA listing.
Yes. Every Queensland dog breeder must register with the Department of Primary Industries within 28 days of a litter’s birth under the Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008, producing a supply number that must appear on any advertisement.
Roughly 40 to 45 kilometers apart by road, with Brookfield on Brisbane’s western edge and Redbank Plains in the Ipswich local government area southwest of the city.
Humid subtropical, with summer highs around 30°C, high humidity, a November-to-March storm season, and almost no frost. Coat care in Queensland leans heavily toward heat and humidity management rather than cold-weather prep.
Yes. Alongside Australian Labradoodles, the program also breeds Sheepadoodles, Cavoodles, Moodles, Double Doodles, and Groodles.
In Victoria, not Queensland. Wally Conron created the first Labrador-Poodle cross for the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Victoria in the late 1980s, and Australian kennels there later refined it into today’s multi-generational breed.
Conclusion
Queensland has two verifiable Australian Labradoodle breeders, Belloui Labradoodles near Brisbane and Journey Australian Labradoodles toward Ipswich, both registered with WALA rather than ALAA.
Buyers should confirm current WALA standing directly and separately check each breeder’s Queensland supply number, a state requirement that exists independently of any registry membership. Both programs list real WALA registration numbers and working websites worth checking before making contact.
Brisbane’s humid, storm-prone subtropical climate calls for a different coat care routine than cooler states covered on this site. Readers exploring other options can find Doodle Breed Expert’s guides to New South Wales, Victoria, Sydney, and the full Australia roundup elsewhere on this site.
