It’s mid week and these guys are totally milk drunk! Mumma Noni has been doing the most incredible job keeping her babies fully topped up… the milk bar is well and truly open 24/7! Today we start ENS with the puppies alongside some puppy massage exercises to get them used to being handled. There will likely be quite a few protest squeaks over the next few days before they really get used to it, but in time they will begin to tolerate and even welcome these handling exercises! Class starts early for Lily Hill puppies - follow along on the Peaches and Cream litters’ journey to see how they’re set up for success and prepared for the big wide world✨ videos to follow over the next few days…!

What a treat it’s been raising these beauties! With half now in their forever home and the others leaving soon, I don’t know what I’m going to do without their pitter patter of puppy paws following me around… well, maybe I will get an extra hour in bed in the morning🤣 I can’t wait to see what they get up to with their new families and all the adventures they’ll have. This is the best part - watching them spread their wings and soar, bringing so much joy and happiness to their homes🫶🏻

If summer is too soon to welcome a little ball of love into your home, Noni’s babies due in October may be just the timing you’re after! With plenty of time to settle in so you are able to fully enjoy the holidays, puppies from the Peaches and Cream litter will delight and amaze you with their sweet temperaments and loving personalities. If you’re looking for a work from home companion and walk in the woodland mate, this litter is the one for you. We recently celebrated the birthday of Noni’s first litter and it was wonderful catching up with the@ all at the birthday party and seeing how much joy they’re bringing to their families lives💗

Six weeks old!? How is time flying this fast!? We’ve achieved so much this week, these guys are absolutely smashing puppy curriculum✅ Car rides, pram outings, crate training and waiting patiently for treats and attention, I’m in awe of how clever and chilled these guys are with everything I’m throwing their way😄 With final allocations only week away, I do have two spots available for some very lucky families… head to the website (link in my bio) to learn more!🏡

✨Eyes are open, and that means ears won’t be too far behind!✨

The transition period is such a gorgeous time, watching these little ones begin to interact with the world around them one additional sense at a time is just the best🐾

There are so many sable puppies in this litter, I’m so excited to see how they change over the next 6 weeks… did you know that Birdie looked exactly like Finch when she was first born!?

Will you be one of the last two families to apply for a pup from the Birds and the Bee’s litter? Link is in our bio📲

Introducing the terrific ten of the Birds and Bees litter! These puppies are now one week old and absolutely scrumptious. They have stolen my heart and are just magical✨ I’m so proud of Birdie and how well she’s taken to motherhood🐾 and am looking forward to sharing more of their journey with you all as they grow and develop! As we have had such a large litter, I do still have a couple of spaces left for homes ready to welcome a puppy into their lives from mid August😊

Such an important read!

If you are going to have a dog, you are going to have to make sacrifices. You cannot expect to have an animal that was designed to live primarily outside and bring it into your house and not have to make changes or adjustments. A dog is not an ornament, a commodity or a display. A dog is an animal. You are sharing your life with another species. This is life with a dog.

Your yard will not be pristine. The grass will get burned from their p*e. Holes will be dug, bushes shredded, mud will come in the house. You cannot ask them to not p*e in your house and then also try to control even their outside bathroom. Please see how unfair this is. This is life with a dog.

You house will need management. Your counters will need to be clear. Shoes will need to be put away. Laundry room blocked. Kids toys picked up. Some things will get destroyed anyway. This is life with a dog.

They will bark at noises. They will protect their territory. Sometimes fiercely. They will not welcome strange people into the home easily even if you “know them” because this is in their genetic DNA. They don’t understand family gatherings and they don’t always see things the way we do. They won’t love playing with every dog they meet. This is life with a dog.

They will need enrichment and work and productivity. They will need training that is kind and fair and consistent and then maintenance to maintain that training. They will need guidance and coaching and lots of reinforcement to help them perform unnatural behaviors against their natural phenotypes. This is life with a dog.

They will mature and change and modify in their likes, behaviors and preferences as they age. Their behaviors aren’t guaranteed. They are not robots and they can be mercurial as they grow into their own personalities. They are allowed to change their mind and shift naturally just as we do. They need to be seen for what and who they are, not what and who YOU want. This is life with a dog.

Life with a dog is not a human right. It is a privilege and a responsibility and an education. They are animals and should be treated and expected to behave as such. That doesn’t make them any less loved or family members and it doesn’t make them any less deserving of respect, in fact it makes them more so.

Enjoy your life with a dog, and help them enjoy life with a human.

🏡 Update: Home Found🏡

🌟Thank you to everyone who reached out to share with me the type of home and life you could offer this sweet girl, I knew it wouldn’t take long for little Miss P to capture people’s hearts and minds! 🌟

As much as we want them to, sometimes things just don’t go to plan! Through no fault of her own, Poppy has come back to me whilst I search for her new forever home. It has been really tough for her family, but was the most loving and selfless decision for them to have made. I truly wish them all the best and my heart is hurting so much for them. I am open to sharing details with serious enquiries.

Poppy is a gorgeous red caramel Australian Labradoodle puppy who will likely grow to approx 15-16” / 10-14kg when fully grown. With her cheeky character and fun loving personality, this little girl is full of love and exuberance. She enjoys playing with toys, is food motivated (helpful when it comes to training!) and loves nothing more than a cuddle.

As a council licensed breeder ( #21009) and WALA member, I work to ensure all my puppies have the best start to life possible. Raised on the Puppy Culture socialisation programme, my puppies go home as well rounded, happy go lucky enrichment seekers who love to love and bring joy to everyone they meet!

I am keen to ensure all the families I work with are set up for success, and so my puppy pack includes lifetime access to an online puppy course with 10+ hours of lessons to help you prepare for your new arrival, training and nutrition education, and follow up aftercare to ensure everyone is settling into their new normal (I will also ALWAYS be on the end of the phone, whether one day, month, year or more from when the puppy goes home). Puppies have had their first vaccination, are microchipped, will go home with 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance, a 2 year health warranty and contract of sale.

Poppy has been crate trained and settles beautifully for nap time and overnight, knows basic recall cues, is doing really well with her toilet training, is learning how to wear a harness, settle for drives around in the car, takes treats softly from your hands and much more.

I’m looking for a home that will have the time to dedicate to early training and socialisation, and are committed to ensuring their puppy is raised correctly. As adults, Australian Labradoodles are fun loving, highly social dogs who love being around their humans, and so a lifestyle in which someone will be at home with them the majority of the time is needed. They can of course be left for up to 3-4 hours from time to time, but these dogs have been developed to be human focussed. Working in an office Monday- Friday 9-5 and having a pet sitter pop in at lunch time will not cut it.

If you think you may have the right home and lifestyle for Poppy, and would be ready to welcome her into your home, please get in contact by emailing me at [email protected]. I don’t think it’s going to take too long to find this perfect little girl her new family, and know that she will make the most wonderful addition to your home!

So looking forward to welcoming Bertie into the Lily Hill life alongside his wonderful guardians who are equally as excited as I am about his imminent arrival! As ever, I cannot thank Van Isle Doodles enough for the love and laughter we’ve shared over these last couple of years as our mentorship has blossomed into so much more! Under your careful guidance and support I’ve been lucky enough to welcome the most fantastic dogs into the Lily Hill programme and cannot wait to squeeze Bertie and Willa when they arrive here in the UK🤩💗

Congratulations Beth Lily Hill Australian Labradoodles - this very handsome iced caramel boy with striking green eyes has just passed all of his health testing and will be flying off to England on Tuesday.
At Van Isle Doodles we enjoy mentoring ALD breeders and starting them off on the right paw with great foundation dogs.
Bertie has been working on his English accent.
Do you think Bertie will make some great ALD puppies for Beth?

Socialisation with Amber.

Socialisation is horribly misnamed and leads many new puppy owners down the wrong path of too much interaction and not enough detachment. Socialisation is learning about normal, day to day life; becoming used to the sights, smells, sounds and experiences around us; learning that the world goes on around us and doesn't always require a response from us. What it's 𝙣𝙤𝙩 about is interacting with every person or dog we meet.

If you have a new puppy one of the most valuable skills you can teach them is to be able to watch the world go by calmly without the need to react or interact. Hang out in different places with your puppy...at the park, outside a supermarket, in a coffee shop, at a market. Let them watch and reward calm behaviour, focus on you, disengagement from distractions. The time you spend doing this in puppyhood will repay you a thousand times over during your life with your puppy....I promise!

Socialisation ≠ Socialising

Running towards the weekend like these guys is the mood we’re in today here at Lily Hill! Are you looking forward to your weekend plans? What are you going to be up to? If you’re not spending it with your Australian Labradoodle… get on our 2024 waiting list! Now open, don’t miss your chance to welcome your forever friend home🐾 https://www.lilyhillaustralianlabradoodles.com/puppyapplication

Edit: No longer searching (subject to a meet and greet!).

Due to unforeseen circumstances Pluto is restarting his search for a forever home!

To find out more, please email me at [email protected]

This little boy is a real all rounder. He has a lovely level of human focus, and a really strong food drive which is going to make training MUCH easier! He enjoys toy play, and has a really fun loving/ cheeky personality, loving to engage with the people he’s interacting with. He has a good level of confidence when engaging in new activities and experiences; sometimes taking a more thoughtful approach but settling into the ‘newness’ within about 5 mins after gentle encouragement. This boy will suit a family/ lifestyle that is equal parts active and slow and steady. He isn’t a puppy that needs constant, on the go interaction and attention but will thrive in a home that’s engaged in developing his training and will actively be looking to ensure his needs are being met. He won’t suit a lifestyle that has him lounging on the sofa all the time other than when he’s going out for a walk. Ready now, he’s looking for a home that wants to welcome a wonderful companion, full of goofy personality and belly rubs galore!

Puppies from this litter will be medium in size when fully grown (approx 18 inches to the shoulder, and 11-15kg in weight).
