Truly Australian Labradoodles

03/21/2024

This has been a gut-wrenching season, as I recently got word that I'd unexpectedly lost a friend and my mentor in the world of Australian Labradoodles. I've been reminded yet again how quickly plans can change and how unexpectedly life can end.

This present world is broken and full of heartbreak, but the Easter season reminds me that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the gateway into unending joy for all those who will put their faith in who He is (God's Son) & what He has done by dying and rising again on our behalf. He made a way for us to know a richer, fuller, and more joy-filled life after this one is over.

"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?'” (John 11:25)

With God's help, I do believe it. And in dark times that make me contemplate death, nothing can bring hope like this truth. If you're one who prays, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd pray for the loved ones & friends Frank left behind. Hearts are broken that only God can heal.

Some of you have been waiting a long time to hear word that Zephyr is close to being bred. Unfortunately, we have some discouraging news to share about the TAL breeding program. Please go directly to the website for a full explanation of all that has recently transpired.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have been waiting and watching for puppies, we fully realize that our disappointment is yours as well.

For the past seventeen months (May 2022 – October 2023), we have been preparing Zephyr to become the foundation stock of our breeding program. As time passed, we became more and more confident that she was going to be an exceptional start to the TRULY breeding line. She exhibits the Australian Lab...

Some tiptoe through the tulips, but Zephyr much prefers leaping through the lupines!

These two crack me up! 🤣 Zephyr’s a smart girl who adjusts her game to suit her playmates. Playing with Oakley looks like an all-out MMA match, but with Molly she dials it back to a hilarious series of swipes & fake-out moves. Molly’s learned to go in for the ears, if only those Australian Labradoodle legs weren’t so long!

When you’re an ALD & go to your boys’ softball game for the first time, you find old friends 🥰, make new ones 👦🏼👧🏼, get to search for discarded gum under the bleachers 🤢, let the rain bring out your curls 🌧️, and come back home completely tuckered! 💤

On Memorial Day, as we enjoy the freedoms of the good life in America, we think of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for those freedoms and say a heartfelt “Thank you!” 🇺🇸

We also remember their family members, who continue to pay the endless sacrifice of having lost a loved one, and we thank them as well. 💔 Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

And in a much smaller way, we say thanks to the Ice Cream Shoppe of Oakland. You made Zephyr’s Day (again)!

It’s been a full month of celebrating here at Truly Australian Labradoodles! Zephyr kicked things off with her birthday bash, which was followed by another family birthday, a new job, & a high-school graduation. All my kids (human & furry) keep things hopping around here!
