About Us
What We Enjoy
We are originally from North Georgia and moved to Montana to work with small churches. Dan graduated from Southwestern Seminary, and has been a pastor for many years. God has blessed us, with allowing us to do what we enjoy, which is working in the ministry, and breeding these wonderful dogs.
We live in Rollins Montana, one the most beautiful places in the world, along the Flathead Lake area and just outside Glacier National Park.
We discovered our first Australian Labradoodle, not long after moving to Montana. We fell totally in love with these happy, loving dogs. We knew we just had to share this gift with other families. Especially families who otherwise could not have a dog because of allergies.
So, I started Montana Sky Labradoodles, with my husband Dan. I really enjoy the challenges of planning the litters, and the genetics behind using just the right breeding pair. Of course, helping the moms whelp their puppies is my favorite, I am always excited to see what color is next. Our mission has always been breeding healthy, sound, happy puppies, who are part of our family.
We have had countless people fly in, to sit with our puppies, just to see if they had a reaction. And, then they text all the way home, “no reaction, we want a puppy”.
One of the greatest benefits of raising the Australian Labradoodles is seeing the expressions on our client faces when they receive their puppies. We never get tired of getting emails about what a blessing the puppy is to their families.
We would love to work with you, in selecting just the right Australian Labradoodle for your family!
One of the smartest things we did, in the very beginning, was join the ALAA. We have made awesome friends and received valuable education and support.
There’s nothing like a little doodle love!

Our Commitment To You:
All of our breeding dogs live in a loving forever home, not a kennel. Most of our breeding dogs live in Guardian Homes where they receive individualized love and attention during their breeding careers. When the dog is retired from breeding the dog remains in it’s Guardian Home and ownership is turned over to the Guardians at time of spay or neuter. All of our breeding dogs will be of good health and temperament.
All of our breeding dogs and puppies receive high quality food, water, and routine medical care and are housed in a clean and loving environment indoors.
All of our breeding dogs will be health tested according to the recommendations and guidelines of the ALAA Silver and/or Gold Paw standards.
Both parents will have a minimum of:
- Hip Clearance by Penn Hip, OFA, or Dr. Wallace OFA Elbow Clearance
- Eye exam by an Opthomologist certified by CERF
- PRA testing or cleared via parentage vWD
- Exercise Induced Collapse
- Improper Coat
- Degenerative Myelopathy
All of our puppies are born and raised in our home with loving care. We take the time with each puppy from day 3-16 after birth to expose them to early neurological stimulation through using the Bio Sensor Method. This has been found to enhance the puppy’s trainability and it’s ability to bounce back from negative stressors.
Our puppies are living among the usual hustle and bustle of a busy family home. They are given undivided love and attention by our whole family. When age and weather appropriate we introduce them to an outside area where they get to explore and become accustomed to noises and smells of the outside world.
