FAQs
Are all Labradoodles non-shedding?
The Australian Labradoodle was specifically bred for allergy sufferers. If you have an allergy - you need to get a referral to an allergy specialist and get an allergy test and some advice. For allergy sufferers, your best bet is to get an Australian labradoodle with either a fleece or wool coat. This is the best bet for those families who are looking for a non-shedding and allergy friendly dog. Our dogs are tested for coat furnishings IC to ensure we only breed non-low shedding coats.
What are common health issues in the Labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle?
The Labradoodle and Australian Labradoodle are generally considered healthy dogs, but breeders should screen for hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, as well as other general health issues - see the health testing section.
What are guardian homes?
Our guardian home programme allows families within 25 miles of Hereford to have one of our ‘pick of the litter’ puppies. The Guardian Home puppy or dog is part of the Guardian Home’s Family forever, while the breeding rights are retained by Minton Manor Labradoodles. Once the Guardian Dog has completed his/her breeding career, he/she will be spayed or neutered at our expense, and will remain a forever pet of their Guardian Family! These Guardian Home pups are placed for just a fraction of the price.

How are the puppies allocated?
Puppies are viewed and selected in the order of deposits paid. The viewing normally takes place at 5 weeks of age. I can advise families of temperament and coat, however, the final decision is with each family. If you are unable to attend the designated viewing day, we can video call - Viewings are 30 minutes for each family.
Which is best - Male or female?
This is the most frequently asked question, the answer is simple - its all down to personal choice. When puppies are spayed/neutered there is no difference in the temperament of the dog.
