The ALAA Labradoodle Standard: Why It Matters for Your Next Puppy
At NorthStar Labradoodles in Bend, Oregon, every single puppy we raise is registered with the **Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA)** and bred to the **ALAA Breed Standard** — the gold standard for health, temperament, and authenticity.
Here’s exactly what the ALAA standard means for you and your future doodle:🐾📈
Key Points of the ALAA Labradoodle Standard
- Multigenerational Breeding** – Only dogs from proven, stable lines (no F1 or F1B crosses)
- Comprehensive Health Testing** – OFA hips/elbows, DNA panels, annual eye exams on every breeding dog
- Non-Shedding, Allergy-Friendly Coats** – Fleece textures that are truly low-to-no shed
- Temperament First** – Calm, intuitive, therapy-quality personalities as the #1 priority
- Size Categories** – Mini, medium, and standard with strict height/weight guidelines
- Lifetime Registration & Support** – Every NorthStar puppy comes with ALAA registration and our lifetime commitment
Why the ALAA Standard Is Non-Negotiable for Us
After 13 years and over 350 puppies, we’ve seen the difference the ALAA standard makes: healthier joints, predictable shedding levels, and that legendary Labradoodle temperament families rave about.
That’s why every NorthStar puppy is:
- Guardian-home raised (never a kennel)
- Raw-fed from day one
- ALAA-registered with full pedigree
