DescriptionSunstrider Labradoodles are currently planning our next litter of multigenerational Labradoodles from our beautiful girl Florence and our waiting list is now open.
Florence has come into season and we anticipate that the puppies will be due around the end of November and due to leave us at the end of January. We will only be expecting chocolate puppies in this litter. Please be aware that the chocolates may fade with age to either grey or café au lait. The puppies will be standard or small standard sized when they are fully grown, so between 22-25” to the shoulders.
We are hobby breeders who only have the occasional litter, once or twice a year. We only believe in ethical breeding, for health and temperament to further the Labradoodle breed. Health checks by a vet are not the same as genetic testing. A vet cannot tell you whether a dog carries a particular genetic condition if they are asymptomatic. All of our dogs are fully health tested, including BVA hip/elbow scoring and DNA testing for hereditary diseases that affect both parent breeds, therefore giving our puppies the best possible start in life! Our previous puppy owners can attest to the love, care and devotion we give to our dogs and litters. We also hold a breeding license with Milton Keynes council, so you can be assured that we adhere to all animal welfare regulations.
Our dogs are family pets first and foremost and live entirely inside, we don’t have kennels. They are all of sound temperament and come from a fantastic bloodline featuring over 30+ show champions in the original Labrador and Poodle genealogy. Unlike many breeders, we do not rehome our girls once they have retired from breeding, they have a maximum of three litters and then enjoy their retirement with us.
The parents:
-Florence (F3) is our beautiful Cafe-au-Lait, 5th generation, fleece coated girl. Florence is highly intelligent, super loving and extremely cuddly! She’s very people orientated and loves nothing more than cuddles on the sofa. We kept Florence from our beautiful girl Bella's second litter and Bella is also here for you to meet. This is Florence’s first litter, but we know she will produce stunning puppies. Florence stands at 22” to the shoulders and weighs 21kg, so she is a smaller standard size. She is extensively health tested for the following:
BVA Hip score - 7 (4/3)
BVA Elbow score - 0
Clear for hereditary conditions:
CNM
CY (LR)
DM
EIC
HNPK

-Jasper (F4) our stunning 8th generation, dark chocolate, fleece coated boy. Jasper is a sweet natured, cuddly and gentle boy with a playful character. He is very intelligent and loves swimming in our 18ft pool! Jasper stands at 24” to the shoulders, weighs 26kg and is also extensively health tested for the following:
BVA Hip score - 4 (2/2)
BVA Elbow score - 0

Having the parents tested clear for the above conditions means that their puppies will also be clear and will never be affected by any of these horrible diseases!
We will start allowing viewings when the puppies are 4-5 weeks old. This is so you can meet us, the pups and to make sure you are happy with us as the breeder and also that we are happy with you and the home you can offer one of our puppies. Should you be happy with us and our set up when coming to view, a £500 non refundable holding fee will secure you a puppy from the litter and the balance is payable on collection of your puppy at eight weeks.
We have a dedicated puppy room in which the puppies will be born and will be raised all around our home. They will be used to the hustle and bustle of an active household and will all be handled and played with throughout the day. We will also be getting them used to light brushing to make this easier for the new owners and the puppies will be desensitised to loud noises like fireworks, cars/bikes, alarms etc.
As responsible breeders we do not sell our puppies as “non moulting” (although multigen Labradoodles are less likely to). Moulting is different to shedding, all dogs shed their coats, even a pure bred poodle! Which is why they require regular brushing, no less than every other day, to avoid the shedded fur matting into the coat. Professional grooming tools will be included in your puppy pack.
The puppies will be wormed routinely, and will be vet checked when they go for their microchipping at 7 weeks old.
Along with your new addition will come a comprehensive puppy pack including lots of different toys, a scented comforter from Mum and full paperwork consisting of: your puppies birth certificate with weight chart, puppy sales contract, a 5 generation pedigree and our comprehensive new owner guidebook that has all the information you will need for your new family member. All health testing certificates will be shown when coming to view.
We feed all of our dogs Fish4dogs, which is a premium grain-free kibble and this is what the puppies will be weaned on. You will receive a Fish4dogs bundle with your puppy pack that contains a starter bag of food and lots of other goodies! The pack contains further information on Fish4dogs should you wish to continue with the brand and also a discount code off your first purchase.
When you have a puppy from us, you become a part of our Sunstrider family and will be added to our private owners group on Facebook where you will receive a full lifetime of support and advice!
If you are interested in having a puppy from us, we would initially ask you to fill in our new owner questionnaire. When you’ve returned this back to us we will arrange a phone call to discuss all of the details for the litter and answer any other questions you might have.
Please send us a message if you are interested and we will send over our questionnaire. Many thanks.
