We are so excited to be adding Journey to our breeding program! He came to us at the age of 8 weeks making the drive from Colorado to Cottonwood without a whimper. Journey is a confident little fellow and knows no strangers. He is playful, retrieves well and can run like lightening. His conformation is excellent and his flowing, soft apricot/red coat stops people in their tracks when they see him. He is always happy to meet a new person or dog. Journey is clear on all his health testing and will begin producing litters with us in late fall of 2019. He has already completed 2 training classes, Puppy I and Basic Manners and Obedience with flying colors and his Guardian Family plan to continue his training all the way to become a Certified Therapy Dog to work at our local college. Journey is quite lucky to have landed with an amazing Guardian Family where he has 2 human sisters who keep him on his toes with reinforcing his training and teaching him to be a gentleman. Quite remarkable considering they are just 4 and 7 years old! We sure love you Journey and know the girls of Cottonwood will love you too. Can’t wait to see the beautiful puppies he will help us create!

Journey produced four beautiful litters with our Cottonwood gals and now lives a life of adventure and leisure with his adoring family, the Lehman's.

OH Ruby! Or ‘Rubyliscious!’ as her Guardian Family the Walters refer to her, so happy you will be an up and coming breeder with us here at Cottonwood. Ruby is the daughter of our darling, chocolate Pippa and Legendary’s AJ and granddaughter to Honey and Bruno. Keeping this girl has brought us all such joy and she has passed all her health testing to the ALAA Gold Level. Ruby is fun, playful, a snuggle bug, and easy going. She loves to ride along in the car, go for walks or play in the yard with her 3 human siblings. She will cuddle and receive belly rubs all day long and make you feel happy for the time you get to spend with her. She has a beautiful soft fleece coat of caramel color with white markings and beautiful hazel eyes. We are so excited to see what gorgeous puppies she will create for us in the future. Love you Ruby!

Oh my! I cant believe we are retiring our wonderful Cottonwood Honey. She has been such an asset in our program; best mama, makes the most wonderful puppies, and such a chill dog! She will continue being our very valuable companion here on the ranch and will serve as a grammy and great grammy to future puppies from Ruby and up and coming breeder Joy. 

Our sweet Honey is as close to perfection as can be! Made right here at the Cottonwood Ranch, she was one of 9 pups from our own Violet and Ocean State’s Charlie Brown. She has a beautiful light caramel, wavy/curly fleece coat that is as soft as her temperament and amber eyes that sparkle with love when she looks at you.  A perfect size Medium, Honey likes to perch on a toy box and look out our window for wildlife, hummingbirds or the occasional free-range chicken! She loves to run and race with Bruno but can cuddle like no other. She’s gone on several road trips to Colorado with us and rides like a dream and is welcomed at all motels we stay in. (Plus she gets to join us on the bed when we’re on vacation!) I cannot wait to see the beautiful pups she will make; there should be some chocolates as both of her parents were chocolate, and we love chocolate!

Ah sweet Pippa! Thank you for your beautiful puppies created here at Cottonwood and especially for Cottonwood Ruby who will continue your wonderful legacy in the years to come. Enjoy retirement with your most amazing family the Jost’s.

Pippa is a doll! A daughter of our Honey and Bruno she is a perfect blend of them both. Pippa has her dad’s dark chocolate fleece coat and friendly demeanor and her momma’s sweet nature, amber eyes and athletic structure and size. Both parents are snuggle bugs so to say Pippa likes to cuddle is a given! Pippa also has outstanding health testing and we couldn’t be more excited to see the puppies she will produce in the future for Cottonwood Labradoodles. We are so fortunate to have the Jost Family; a wonderful guardian family for Pippa who have given her a home full of love, adventure, and socialization with Ella and Talia (acting as older sisters) to Pippa! They've already completed two Puppy Classes with Pippa and an Obedience class last August.

We are so grateful for the wonderful contribution Bruno has made to Cottonwood Labradoodles and will enjoy having Bruno supervise our new stud Journey and future pups produced here at the ‘dood’ ranch.

We are so excited to be adding ‘Bruno’ to our breeding program! 
Many thanks to Heather Hale of Hale’s Labradoodles who not only created Bruno but also serves as our President of ALAA. Bruno is a proven stud dog, and has sired beautiful litters for Heather and we now look forward to his contributions to Cottonwood Labradoodles! Bruno has the softest chocolate fleece coat and big brown eyes that are so expressive. He’s loving and playful and has won each of our girls over with his confidence and ease. He is tested to the Gold and Silver Paw level like all our girls with excellent health clearances. Bruno knows no strangers as he easily traveled with me for a 3 day car ride from his former home in California to mine in Kansas! His conformation is excellent and he has proven to be one big sweetheart with a lot of love to give. Oh Bruno, we love you and can hardly wait for the beautiful pups you’ll produce! Welcome to our Cottonwood Labradoodle family!

Born and raised right here at Cottonwood Labradoodles, Blossom has the softest coat and loves to be brushed and held! She is very energetic and can run like the wind but when it’s time to snuggle, she prefers nothing more than sitting next to you. Blossom is a beautiful cream Austrailian Labradoodle with a soft, wavy fleece coat. She has wonderful boning and should produce pups with amazing coats, like her Dad, Southern Charm’s Sir Cooper.

Sunshine is a character! Full of fun and playfulness, she loves to go fishing on the boat or any trips in the car, especially if she can ride shotgun. She is always ready for couch time and alternates between being perched on the back of the couch for best viewing of the outdoors or next to me for belly rubs. Sunshine is smart and never lets her smaller stature prevent her from running just as fast as the other dogs. She has great structure and a beautiful apricot/red silky fleece coat that rarely tangles.     

We want to especially thank our wonderful guardian family for Sunshine, the Monroe's! Our guardian homes make it possible for each of our breeders to have the love, care and attention that we believe make them the best companions and Mommas to their puppies. Thank you Kristi for being a joy to work with and always having Sunshine's best interest at heart. Sunshine will no doubt retire to a life of weekly massages from Terry, fun and games with Breana and claiming her spot on Meghan's bed! She's one lucky dog!

Violet is adorable! She has a dark, rich chocolate coat which can look red in the sunlight. She is very smart, laid back, and loves to play games and retrieve toys. Violet is in training to be a 'Reading Dog' at our local library.
