Ever After Welcomes You With Open Paws
Quality Australian Multi-generational Labradoodles
Meet Princess Milada, AKA Mila, the beginning of our mission to provide the best of this wonderful breed - the original doodles. Evaluated by Pat Hastings of Dogfolk, Mila was rated top breeding quality for temperament and structure. We are excited to announce that the perfect prince was found and Mila had her first litter April 13, 2020. After crucial upbringing with Mom and litter mates, intentional Puppy Culture time, Ever After training, and evaluations with Pat Hastings; puppies went home in June of 2020 and are all thriving with amazing forever families. Since then, Ever After has continued with unsurpassable breeding practices for the most deserving of dogs and puppy families. Although a small breeder in Spokane, WA, our previous puppies have paved the way for Ever After’s reputation of being worth the wait!
Our Story
passion for dogs
Pictured with Mila below at 15, 13, and 13 years of age, our three family rescue dogs made us one of the most sought-after pet sitters around. We had an evident love for dogs. When our names were passed along to help a local breeder, we fell in love with what felt like the perfect dog for anyone, the Australian Labradoodle. Encompassing so many wonderful adjectives, this silly, light-hearted, energetic, loving, intelligent, allergy-friendly, loyal, therapy-tempered family dog was irresistible. The process of learning how to mate only top-quality partners, whelp healthy litters, care for nursing mothers and newborn pups, and then pass along the healthiest crate-trained puppies to happy families, became intoxicating for our family. We had to be a part of such a fulfilling experience. Thus, after many months of observation, apprenticeship, and studying, Ever After Multi-Generational Australian Labradoodles was created. For the best experiences in life, our carefully selected breeder dogs are raised in homes instead of kennels. Now we have the thrilling task of finding "happily ever after" for every new pup and their family.
Why Recommend Ever After?
TRAINED PUPPIES! We use Puppy Culture, and administer positive training for basic commands, litter training, outdoor potty training, “snuggle buggle time,” and crate training. Our puppies sleep through the night in a closed crate from at least 11 P.M. – 6 A.M. the very first night in their new homes! We do the bulk of the initial training so that families don’t have to!
HANDS ON - INDIVIDUALIZED! Ever After is a small family-run business. With that, we are able to spend every waking moment with our puppies socializing and training them ourselves. There is no staff – just us and our eager visitors. Our weekly pictures (& videos) with updates are fun for all!
REPUTABLE EXPERTISE! Besides being members of two prestigious organizations (ALAA & WALA), we were blessed to have the tutelage of the late Pat Hastings of DOGFOLK who shared her knowledge in evaluating litters plus more. Nothing can match the 60+ years of experiences Pat obtained during her lifetime in regard to quality breeding. Pat and her husband bred 28 different dog breeds across all groups. She was known for being a pro-handler, an AKC judge, a world-renowned speaker and author, as well as a private consultant in evaluation of 100’s of litters each year for temperament and structure. Hiring Pat and being trained by her, we took the extra steps needed to choose top-quality breeder dogs for our program using the standards set in place by the Australian Labradoodle Association of America (ALAA). Already feeling confident as trustworthy breeders, Pat gave us the additional tools to be the best. She reminded us that no dog is perfect; but it should always be our mission to nurture the development of our breed and strive for the healthiest of pets – emotionally and physically.
