Orchard View Labradoodles is located in the beautiful Yakima Valley in central Washington state. We are an easy drive from Portland or Seattle, but also more than happy to arrange delivery to anywhere within the continental USA. We have puppies in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York and Canada! We are a registered LLC and licensed business in the state of Washington. We take great pride in the care, attention, stimulation and love we provide our puppies and the relationships with our puppy families we have developed since we began breeding Labradoodles in 2008. We look forward to hearing from you and adding your family to our growing number of happy customers.

Orchard View Labradoodles is a Registered Breeder with the Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA). We are proud to be serving on the Board of Directors as Secretary for 2011-2012. Our program has been awarded the Silver Paw for health testing our breeding dogs above and beyond the minimum requirements of the association. We believe that it is in the best interest of the Labradoodle breed to belong to an association of other breeders to maintain breed standards and accountability in breeding practices. When you purchase your Labradoodle puppy from an ALAA Breeder, you're helping to protect the breed and yourself by choosing a Breeder who's subject to health testing standards, litter registration audits and membership requirements. Please visit the ALAA website for a list of Member Breeders in the USA and Canada.

Visitation Policy
We get asked a lot about visiting us to meet our moms, dads and puppies. We love to have visitors and we're very proud of our adult breeding dogs. Sometimes it's tricky to balance my desire to accommodate visitors while maintaining the safety and health of my pregnant girls and/or puppies. We are not a kennel and our dogs are our house pets, so when you visit my breeding program you're actually visiting my home. The area where my pups are born and raised is in the middle of our household environment and I work very hard to keep my home clean and sanitary. I understand that if potential puppy families are searching for the right breeder, they may want to visit several breeders in a few days to make their selection. While this is convenient for you, it's dangerous for my pregnant girls and newborn pups.
My job involves a lot of traveling. On any given day I could be delivering puppies to families, taking puppies to the airport, going to the vet, picking up a guardian home dog, picking up a stud dog, taking a girl in heat to be bred, etc. When I'm not caring for a litter of puppies or busy with dog related activities, I'm usually attending one of my children's sporting events or other activities. I hope this explanation helps you understand my reasoning for my visitors policy. :)
Our visitation policy is simple:
We have Open House puppy visitation day when the puppies are 5 weeks old for our deposit families. At this time, you'll be able to meet all the puppies in the litter, the mom and the sire (if he's a boy that lives with us). We invite you to come and see where your puppy was born and the area he plays and sleeps in. You'll also be able to meet our other adult dogs, as long as mom is ok with that. :)
If we have any available puppies at 8 week old, we're more than happy to have visitors come and meet the puppies after they've had their first shots. This type of visit will be open to anyone, but you'll only be able to meet the puppies that are available at the time. We'll also ask you to take off your shoes and wash your hands upon entering our home, unless the weather is nice and we can visit outside.
Occasionally, we may host outdoor Open House visitation day for meeting all of our adult dogs and any adolescent puppies we are raising for breeding. These events will be in the summer, advertised on our Facebook page and we request an RSVP.
We are also happy to provide references from puppy owners that have been to our home, met our dogs and have seen where the pups are born and raised.
