At Forever Friends Labradoodles, we are proud to be a Gold Paw breeder with the Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA). We are located in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. This prestigious recognition represents one of the highest standard of excellence in health testing, responsible breeding practices, and ethical care for our dogs and their puppies.
To achieve and maintain our Gold Paw status, every one of our parent dogs must pass a comprehensive series of genetic and health tests. These include OFA or PennHIP evaluations for hips, elbow certifications, cardiac and eye exams, and extensive genetic disease panels to ensure our breeding dogs are free from hereditary conditions. These careful evaluations help us uphold our promise of producing happy, healthy, and well-balanced Australian Labradoodles for loving families.
At Forever Friends, the health and well-being of our dogs always come first. Our females are bred no more than four times, though in practice, most are retired after just three litters. We thoughtfully evaluate each dog individually to determine what’s best for her health and happiness.
We proudly have one exceptional stud, Harley, but occasionally collaborate with other ALAA-approved breeders to bring variety in color, size, and genetics to our lines. Our commitment to integrity, quality, and compassion is at the heart of everything we do — because at Forever Friends Labradoodles, every dog truly is family.
