Blue ‘Star Labradoodles is owned by Carol and Greg Stover.  We are a small home based breeder of medium and standard Australian and American Multi-Generation Labradoodles.  Together we have 7 children who are now all grown and some with families of their own so we are Empty Nesters.  During the years Greg’s children were growing up they had a Labrador Retriever and during the years my children were growing up we had Poodles due to my son’s severe allergies to dogs.

Comments by Greg :  For many years we did not have any pets and one day Carol decided that we were missing a valuable part of our lives and that it was time we consider a pet.  Her daughter, Krystan, came over and asked her what type of dog she was looking for.  Carol told her that I loved Labs because of their pleasant easy-going nature and that she loved Poodles because they don’t shed, are great for people with allergies, and are incredibly smart.  Krystan then suggested that we consider a Labradoodle as they are the best of both breeds?  Well, neither one of us had ever heard of a Labradoodle but we weren’t running in the dog circles.  Thus, the research began.  

Comments by Carol:  Greg was just warming up to the idea of having a pet when I decided we should consider a Labradoodle.  However, the search for a Labradoodle wasn't as easy as we thought it would be.  We found that Labradoodles have been around since the 1970's.  Click on "History of Labradoodles" for more information.  We also found that there are different types of Labradoodles (Australian and American) and different generations of Labradoodles (1st Generation, 2nd Generation, and Multi-Generation).  Click on "Types of Labradoodles" for more information.

We assumed that we’d be able to find a Multi-Generation Labradoodle right here in Spokane.  There were some breeders in Washington State but most were on the West side.  When we finally chose what we believed would be the perfect Labradoodle for us, we went across state lines.  When the dust settled, we were the proud owners of a 10 week old female Labradoodle.  This little female Labradoodle, Abby, became a very important part of our family and has brought much joy into our lives.  She truly has that extraordinary combination of traits that is so endearing.

The Labrador Retriever is a pure-bred dog and has become the number-one breed in popularity, both as a pet and as a hunting companion.  The Poodle is also one of the most popular breeds because of its intelligence and it doesn’t shed or aggravate people’s allergies.  The Labradoodle, by definition, is a crossbreed:  but what a wonderful combination of two of the most popular dogs on the planet--the Labrador Retriever and the Poodle.  The result being an extraordinary animal with the traits that people nationwide are now enjoying and seeking.

The Beginning of Blue Star Labradoodles

Our Abby has added so much joy to our lives that we decided we would breed her and since have added 4 dogs to our Breeding Program.  We are delighted to offer the opportunity to own such extraordinary Labradoodle puppies to people in Spokane, Washington, and throughout the United States.  Click on "Puppies Available" for current and future litter information, availability, and photos.

All our puppies are home raised and socialized with a focus on excellent health and temperament.
